haye got a huge case if handled right got a great chance could beat all current heavy's with the exception of wlad. but with the right nuture would knock out wlad.
sugar shane is seriously talented although not as talented as the other two sugars but not far off in his prime he was probably the best in the ww division.
1k calzghe ud over hopkins.
WLAD OWNS your comments are serious. you have a few points his left is low and he does have an ameteur style i reckon he may suprise a few at heavy but it will be clear out the division probably not although the number 1 rated champ is a pussy with no chin he is too bug for Haye but I would love to see him do it.
i dunnoooooOo. i would like to see it happen.
i have to agree with some that the ref was unfair
no point hatton would have to many doubts he was demolished against floyd.
out boxed out thought out wrestled just fucked up basically.
That is absurd. Billy Graham and Ricky Hatton are a match made in heaven. They have done pretty well so far.
I agree that they have done very well to date. however they were both exposed in the mayweather fight. neither boxer or trainer knew enough they had no plan B, so maybe he needs a knew trainer i like freddie roach he would work well with hatton.
joes a super middleweight
Joe will win a very ugly fight UD. but he still aint going to the credit. hopkins and jones never wanted a fight with joe they went after better paid fights against lesser fighters than joe. joe will retire unbeaten and the best boxer of his era that has never been truly tested.
Hatton could try coach of the year, Enzo, but that would possibly mean working again with Wank Warren something Ricky would not like.
enzo has been good for joe unfortunately for enzo and joe fighters like roy jones and bernard hopkins were either scared or never saw enough money in a fight with joe so joe has never been truly tested. what i am getting at is enzo also does not have enough experience of overseas opponents and world class fighters.
Ricky has a real relationship with his current trainer. Roach is now something of a boxing consultant, he pops up for 1-4 fights then disappears. Sure he's trying to make a living but I think bringing in a hired hand is a little different than training with the same guy for years.
ok that makes sense. hatton and graham would benifit from going to a gym like freddie's or something similar and experience training and sparring with more fighters like floyd hatton is great but to finish off his legacy he needs to return better than ever.
Whos Oktay and Judah???
Floyd will have him scared to throw by the 8th round.
Cotto is a beast he will pile on the pressure but still come up short floyd is too slick and clever uncle roger will have the fight mapped out and floyd will execute the master plan.
calzaghe to beat hopkins. UD
They wern't exposed at all. They were expected to lose and did. How can the underdog in a fight ever be exposed?
so you didn't see it being closer than it was in the night i hoped and thought hatton was going to really push him but it was never close even when he won rounds he never heart mayweather he needs graham and hatton should both spend some time with a top coach.
It's not like they boo the American national anthem because it's the horrible Americans.. They boo everybody's national anthem.
There's a respect problem in that part of the world. It's not everyone, but it's number too large.
You guys can say nothing about respect problems the majority of americans no nothing about what goes on in the rest of the world. Hows your respect wanting to invade every country that dare say anything negative to you.:boxing:

i ain't bashing graham or hatton because i like them both.
I don't believe this at all. Billy and Ricky are like father and son. I don't believe for one minute he would get rid of Billy.
don't you think they have achieved all they can achieved all they can together i love hatton's style but he needs a plan b.
Incidentally Hatton has gone far in part because of his partnership with Billy. It would be a shame if we saw that dissolved. Especially if Ricky then hooked up with a mercenary like Freddie Roach.
freddie roach a mercenary eloborate please? he is just trying to make an honest living what makes him mercenary.
maybe... this is hopkin's swan song... he is too old to box at 42. abdul-jabbar hang his jersey at 42.
a lot of brits going for calzaghe. like hatton vs mayweather not to many brits have done there homework and think calzaghe by a landslide. hopkins is one of the best counter punchers in the business. I want to see calzaghe do it because
he deserves to go down as a great although hes never had the big fight he deserves until now. i think it will be dirty and close but i think hopkins will nick it.
Ricky is a good competitior at 140, but he needs to see that he is limited in terms of his skills. Alot of heart and good strength but he takes too many shots to the head... Also the holding and hitting is not a strategy for winning going forward.
i agree but what will but that all he knows at the moment come forward hit and hold hold and hit i really thinks he needs a new trainer or at the very least some fresh ideas.
Calzaghe will win.
Hopkins will try and make it a slow, boring chess match as he always does but calzaghe will be too active for B-Hop and his handspeed will make a big difference. I reckon Calzaghe will win a UD 116-112 116-112 115-113.
haha lovin your knowledge of the sport. i totally agree b-hop will be too old and too slow although i hope they dont rob joe like they robbed winky.
Some people didn't even think Hatton would win a round. I think if Cortez would have let him fight it would have been alot closer. Probably a 116-112 decision for Floyd.
yeah your hatton is a warrior and could have made it closer if cortez let them get ugly but i just couldn't see hatton hurting floyd who is also a warrior and after a lot of bullshit a gentleman.

You know what, id pick Taylor over Kessler (before i did say Kessler would win, but now id go with Taylor), Kessler is decent in straight lines, but predictable, not as talented as taylor, who nearly had Kelly Pavlik finished in 2 rounds.
Back to hopkins calzaghe, i look at it like this, Calzaghe should win the fight, because no one can see b hop surviving at 43 against a high output fighter, thing is...
These days Hopkins only picks the fights that he thinks he will win, because he is trying to out do Roy Jones in the legacy stakes without having to fight him again. He will try and time calzaghe coming inside with jab and the overhand right, and he will be dirty inside also, plus look out for some dodgy goldenboy judging, Hopkins has a better chance than what people on here give him. Look at the problems Bika caused calzaghe, that might be the
key.
I was thinking calzaghe by a land slide when this fight was announced but the more i think about it the more i feel b-hop will nick ity and shock the world. joe would take it in the UK but in the US b-hop shades it.
Judah is hilarious and dillusional. I remember saying the same about cotto. Sugar late stopage and may just retire Judah who is no longer a player in the division.
