    true, he has more dimensions but by the same token no one is better than Hatton at what he does (relentless pressure)

      as far as pure boxing goes it would have to be calzaghe by far. JC is easily the better boxer, however i would much rather watch hatton as he is a more exciting fighter and a warrior.

          Relentess pressure , he got tired after 4 rounds with someone he couldnt out wrestle , or did he get tired from being told to step back ? Ricky getting tired contradicts the whole he werent allowed to wrestle scenaro , he actually got out wrestled thats why he got tired early by a strong patient versatile fighter .

            he got tired but he kept coming forward applying pressure. It eventually got him knocked out, but never a backward step.

              Calzaghe has the better skills, is the smarter boxer and seemingly the bigger chin.

              I'm also not sure on what basis you could argue Hatton has the better resume.
