Ricky hatton compated to Joe Calazghe

[sitai]

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

chris eubank was finished... FACT he had been losing before this fight and he lost after

i'm not sure where robin reid was...

and even then i'd disagree

Controversial split decision agasint Robin Reid with no rematch given and a UD over an ancient Chris Eubank?
Thats a stretch, Id say tzsyu is better than anyone Calzaghe has beaten.

That's what I said... but one big win vs. both Eubank and Reid?

The case can be made that Tszyu was over it, as well as Castillo, which are the two biggest wins of Hatton's career.

C'mon Ricky fought only bums despite Zoo and Castillo. The first was over-the-hill the second shot and a blown up LW.

An ANCIENT 31 year old?

even if you call them even... you have to realise that nobody is calling hatton top3 for his record!!! so far

that plus the fact that hatton is 28 and is fighting floyd himself in his next fight says it all!!

even if he looses he'll have faced tougher opponents

[jayfelice]

Ricky resume is and willl always be better than calzaghes, he has fought tyzu, collazo, castillo and will be fighting floyd and if he loses probs cotto or mosley.

I kind of discredit Hatton because he held the whole entire tyzu fight, and he also held alot in the castillo fight. That kind of fighting kind of disgusts me. Hatton hugged more then he threw punches. I wonder what would have happened to Hatton in those fights if he elected to box instead of putting his whole body weight on to his opponent the entire fight. He holds then he throws a hard bodyshot to castillo breaking castilos ribs. I don't like that kind of fighting.


I'm sure floydno1 would be upset if Hatton Ko'd Floyd by holding then hitting. He'll complain if Hatton some how wins like that, but he won't complain ahead time about how hatton got his wins of tyzu and castillo. Also, its kind of hard to hate hatton at the same time because he is a small dude and doesn't have the reach and thats why I feel he feels he needs to hold and hit. Other wise his opponents would jab the crap out of him the whole entire fight.

^^^ there's no justifiying what he did in that fight... it was ugly, plain and simple..
but i think he still deserved the win

So calzaghe is fighting clean when he slaps people on the back of the head then. He warned by the red endless times and has throughout his career. I'd rarther be held than slapped on the back of the head
