The greatness of Ricky Hatton

[eric maldonado]

That is exactly my point!! Why do they have to go to Wales?

Hopkins, Jones, Winky , Tarver, etc are all PPV fighters here in the states. Why would they go to Wales to fight at 2am when there are big money fights HERE. If Calzaghe wanted to prove he was the best, you go to where the best are. That's not a pro-American view. it's just logic.

Calzaghe is a good fighter. But history will not be kind to him. And it's all his fault.

none of them seem to have a problem going to whales now so what was stoping them before

[Technical_Skill]

just like bernard ducked roy after bein dominated in the fight.

kessler is a bigger fight for calzaghe right now than jones is, just like hatton has not done **** but floyd chooses to fight him because right now he is a big payday and he has a lot of people thinking he's better than he really is

Kessler is just internet hype, nothing more, if calzaghe cant beat him, he should wash his mouth for all those times he claims the top guys were ducking him.

And for the record, Hopkins CLEARLY ducked jones, he did it on HBO live, asking for 50/50 with Jones after he got beat with one hand the first time by Jones, and yet that crooked fossil larry merchant tried to make out Jones was doing the ducking, its one of the most disgusting things ive ever seen in a boxing ring, disgraceful.

When jones offered to do a 60/40 split and fight hopkins, hopkins didnt wanna know, he knew what would happen.

Hmmm, go to Wales for a small fight ...OR... go to Wales for a big fight?


Note to the rest of the world: nobody knew who CalSlappy was until he dominated Lacy.

I thought they were going to fight at 168, where neither fighter had a title. I don't know why Jones was supposed to get more... his title wasn't on the line. Also, they were #1 and #2 P4P. I think 50/50 was probably a good split.

I don't think either fighter was ducking the other. Money issues do not account for ducking, unless what they are asking for is completely absurd.

Its simple, Jones already beat Hopkins with one hand the first time, and was the undefeated best fighter in the world, hopkins knew Jones was never gonna do 50/50

Even last year Jones offered him out, and hopkins declined, and went on to fight a smaller winky wright,

Hopkins ducked him, he knew he wouldnt win imo.

alot of people didn't know taylor until he fought hopkins and alot of people didn't know hatton until tszyu alot of people didn't know hopkins til he fought trinidad alot of people didn't know winky till he fought shane so whats your point

[Easton Assassin]

True, but Calzaghe never intended to get in the ring with Jones, ever,imo

Especially in his prime, ****in el man, if byron Mitchell and that other bum can knock calzaghe down, he dont wanna be getting the ring with roy jones, he calls out the number one p4p fighter in the world to come to some ****ty arena in his backyard when he knew Jones vowed never to leave leave america after the olympic screwjob.

Then after claiming he wanted the fight, he turns down a fight with jones at home to fight Kessler, and if you know kessler, you know kessler aint beat no one worth mentioning.

So to answer your question, here is the name of a fighter he avioded,

Roy Jones Jr.

Lol who in their right mind would avoid a fighter KNOWN for his china chin? Tarver and Johnson will not go down in the books as devastating punchers and yet, they both One punch ko'ed the legend. Why is that? Ohhhhhhh its the weight, Ohhhh its the age, Ohhh it's everything but he is a china chinned oppourtunist that defrauded the boxing public for years on end!!!

Yeah, Calzaghe is shivering!!! lol

[eric maldonado]

this has gone complettely off course the only point i was trying to make is that imo calzaghe is under rated and hatton over rated

HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?? B-HOP IS A VERY CONFIDENT FIGHTER AND BTW! WHATS WRONG WITH 50/50 GOOD PAY FOR BOTH GUYS. B-HOP ISN'T AFRAID OF RJJ AND KEEP IN MIND B-HOP WAS MORE IN HIS PRIME EARLY TO MID THIRTYS. IN THE END WE ALL SHOULD KNOW B-HOP OBTAINED A BETTER LEGACY.
