I've noticed that British boxers have to do 10 times more to get any recognition here

    no. 1 calzaghe
    no. 2 hatton
    records dont lie, they are the two best in the game.
    Good joke.

    Hatton seems to be pretty good, but we'll never know as long as he's fighting the Maussa's, Urango's and everyone pre-Tszyu type fighters. His biggest challenge BY FAR will be a past-his-prime Castillo next year.

    Calzaghe has gotten my attention and I'd love to see him fight some top-level guys because I think he'd beat a lot of them. But like Hatton, he never steps up to the plate.

      its not a joke. they have the records that deserve the most credit. as far as the undefeated guys go they have the best records. overall james toney still has the best record in the sport.

        combined they haven't fought more than a handful of guys who were even considered "good" fighters. I'll give Calzaghe his due because I really think he could beat a lot of guys out there, but Hatton is a joke.

        How can you really say they are the top 2 p4p with PBF, Winky, and Pacman all dominating top competition?

          so castillo is already being labeled as past his prime is he ?

          this isn't due to the fact that he is about to fight hatton is it ?

          i bet when floyd beats an old de la hoya all the floyd fans wont shut up
          yet hatton gets criticised for beating an "old" tszyu.

                  floyd doesnt have any of the tools necessary to beat a geriatric dlh.

                    he has one tool

                    it's called hit and run which he has done in his last 4 or 5 fights
