Calzaghe never gets the credit he deserves, everyone just wants to see him lose against anyone he faces but when he doesn't they come up with some excuse like the opponent was old or they weren't good in the first place.
All of them don't get their dues imo, though sometimes Hatton does for his bravity. I'm afraid I don't think it's a coincidence their all Euro champions. All fighters have flaws, I find Americans endear themselves to they're local fighters slightly more than Euro's do. They're aloud to have glaring flaws because it makes them more entertaining and brave. But when 'others' have them their just criticised as a boxer. Be it slapper in Calzaghes case, brawler in Hattons case, or just plain not very well skilled in Wlad.
I believe all of those would get way more respect and views be more along the line of "all the more impressive they win with what they've got" if they were more west side.
I'd put Calzaghe last, Hatton 2nd, Wlad 1st, that guy is HW #1 and there's no disputing that. You can't just say boxers are rubbish by comparing them to 10 years ago, it doesn't work like that that's choiceful comparing. Fact is he's HW #1 right now.
Hatton.
People here think he defeated a shot Tszyu, a shot Castillo, lost or got a dubious decision against Collazo and got knocked out @147 by brittle handed Mayweather.
You'd think he'd lost 10 fights instead of only one to the best fighter in the world. Plus he's a cool guy too.
yeah its crazy
sometimes people have an opinion on someone that they will never change so they just keep hating untill that fight losers so they can see see i told u so but
yeah u cant bring the guys name up without him being labelled a complete bum or a club fighter

Klitschko gets the least respect. Don't get me wrong though I don't believe he deserves a great amount of respect it's just not blown out of poportion like Hatton and Calzaghe's is.
I picked Wlad, but after thinking about it you're right. The bashing of Hatton is just brutal here.

i say Hatton people dont like what Klitschko does but they respect him
Hatton gets cained when ever u mention his name

to be fair u are 2 much of a noob to understand how Hatton has been ragged on ,on these boards previously
