Calzaghe: "I Won't Make Hatton's Mistakes"

[Mugwump]

I don't think there's anything wrong with saying Hatton made mistakes. I think that's pretty obvious.

Anyone who's watched Hatton for years will know that bizarre throat-slitting gesture he made toward Floyd at the weigh-in was completely out of character. Clearly he allowed Floyd to get to him, which was clearly a mistake.

Joe thinks he won't walk into the same trap. Time will tell.

Super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe has vowed to avoid making the same mistakes as countryman Ricky Hatton when he moves up to light heavyweight division to face Bernard Hopkins on April 19 in Las Vegas. [details]

Hopefully he won't make those same mistakes.

He is loved in England the rest of the United Kingdom and I feel that the British fans deserve a fighter that can beat one of the greatest boxers in living memory.

He is as cool as ice.

[oovavu]

He won't make the same mistakes cause in no way, shape or form are they similar.

Come on

Floyd is just the man. Hatton was overmatched from the start. I expected it to look just like the Gatti fight and it did except for the KO. B Hop has a better chance then people are giving him credit for. If he gets in the Brits head that's the Brit's A$$!

bhop's as cagey as they come, but calzaghe's reflexes and over all boxing skills are light years ahead of hatton's.

i'm liking calzaghe in this one.

If Chris Eubanks mind games didn't work on him I don't see Ol' Bernies working on him.

Joe is one of the calmest guys in boxing, I've never seen him rattled.

Really? What about when he admitted almost having a nervous breakdown before the Lacy fight? Or how about when he ducked Glen Johnson because a broad gave him a broken heart?

Joe keeps saying the same thing over and over.

Right, I pointed this out a few times as well. The guys like a punch drunk meat head with the personality of sheet rock. Joe the parakeet should change the broken record.

Exactly, Hatton was allot better. He beat better fighters as well.
