    Calzaghe being a great fighter has nothing to do with what country he's from.

    Just like Floyd being good has nothing to do with what he's from.

    These guys are just perfect examples of raw talent meeting hardwork.
    **** offff stop trying kill patriotism.

        Actually this is the exact order in which I pick a fighter to support.

          Hatton will go to war on Mayweather who won't be able to live with him.

              British fighters...have they got anyone's respect yet?

              No offence but I hear some serious nonsense on here and many other Boxing websites with regards to the quality of the Brit fighters.
              Even though I am a Brit I am in no way biased.......
              BUT don't you think that our Boy's are giving Fans extremely good value for money lately?
              Joe Calzaghe gave a good lesson tonight why anyone should doubt his credentials.
              At 35 years old too!!!!
              This guy has been fightin for how many years yet has no signs of damage on him!!!
              Can we finally (as brits) get a pat on the back?
              And maybe...just maybe... believe Ricardo Hatton the Mancunian Mexicano could upset the pretty boy?

              Also for those of you who may not know or forgot...
              The Heavy handed David Haye is scheduled to rip the Cruiserweight title from Mormeck next week.

              Are the Brits gaining your respect?

                Hatton will hurt with his body shots, ask Castillo.

                Every fight I've seen Hatton take, he goes to work on his opponent.

                Floyd is going to need something special to keep Hatton away from him. Its not possible imo because Hatton has speed.

                Expect another Mayweather/Castillo 1, with a possible knockout victory for Hatton.

                  no comparisons.

                  Gatti and Hatton are induviduals. Castillio and PBF are too...

                  don't say "oh he beat so and so... he'll easily do this"..

                  in real life, it doesn't work like that.

                  As for as i can see. PBF vs Hatton is an open book...either man could win... i see an edge for Floyd, he is after all the better man.

                  Can't wait for the fight.

                    Thats lucian bute. The guy in my avatar is calzaghe though. And the guy was alive, but i doubt he was okay. Definitely had to be rushed to the hospital when you get hit that hard

                      So true mate. If it werent so late/early I'd make a thread on why Calzaghe would be the perfect opponent for the price to make his comeback against.
