I'm not sure what compated means?

compared lol

this is what i mean!!!

ricky's record looks better.... and now he's fighting floyd mayweather!!!!!

even if he looses he'll end up fighting a loser of the mosley-cotto fight or the cintron-williams fight or margarito...

if he gets through all this and does well... then there is no comparison

Alot of ppl duck Calzaghe, hbo.com has already said that alot of boxers ask for a ridiculous amount of money to fight Calzaghe including roy jones jr and bernard hopkins. Basically, hbo.coms says the so called elite fighters price themselves out.

even if that's true... (which it isn't entirely)
it doesn't change the facts, so you are basically agreeing right now (as any logical person would)

frank warren is a shady character, and joe has himself blamed frank on numerous occasions...

joe could have just gone to america, fought a couple fights to build up buzz like hatton... i believe he could have done it!!!

i don't think his camp would....

if you are that great and your management does what they're supposed to you can't be avoided..

look at hatton

Career wise, I think Calzaghe has the way better resume then Hatton. But the last couple of his fights were opponents that weren't that great(except Kessler, Kesslers good). But how can that be his fault if those are the only opponents willing to face him for the right amount of money?

Hatton has far better wins then Joe, but people value longevity.
When you break it down like that, though, Hatton's legacy looks better.

Just comparing ricky hatton last and next fight to joe calazghes last fights and possible next. You tell me who has had it easy and who has not. To me ricky has fought the harder opponents and he is only 28, joe is 35 and only has a couple of big names on his record.

Joe

Next fight: 42 year old hopkins

Mikkel Kessler
Peter manfredo
Sakio bika
Jeff lacy

Ricky

Next fight: Floyd Mayweather

Jos� Luis Castillo
Juan Urango
Luis Collazo
Kostya Tszyu

Robin Reid, Chris Eubank... both great names on Calzaghe's record. Both better on anyone on Hatton's record, other than Tszyu.
