    I like Hatton, but come on, Joe Calzaghe transcends him completely. Even in a fight as starightforward as Joe v Lacy he somehow managed to look absolutely scintillating. If you think Hatton's brawling style is more entertaining than the multi-faceted Calzaghe's you must be nuts.

    Even the Hatton of a few years ago has nothing on Joe. His recent performances have been dire.

    Haye, I'm yet to be convinced. Most excitement in his fights comes from the uncertainty of the outcome. He's got a good punch and reasonable skill, but he doesn't exactly make me gasp in admiration.

      What makes him exciting are his flaws, moreso than his strengths. You can argue that Michael Katsidis is a bigger crowd pleaser than Casamayor, but that didn't do him any favors when they fought.

          Hmm, maybe I did get a bit carried away. Of course you can find Hatton more exciting and still be a fan of boxing.

          You did ask how I could argue with it though.

          I like Hatton too, and to be fair the Kostya fight was off the charts. Recently though, IMO Calzaghe has been a class apart in terms of excitement AND skill.

                    I'm not into racism. Blackburns a better place for its Asian population. Better those shops with Saris and ****les looking cool than Blackburn market selling shell suits and baseball caps. Plus Asian girls are beautiful.

                      Pre-Tszyu I really like Hatton he used to inside and back outside, he was fantastic to watch back then but since the Tszyu fight he picked up a bad habit of just staying in the inside and has no other option but to hold. He has either lost the timing to what he used to do or being ill advised by his trainer Billy Graham.

                      Calzaghe for me has been a far more exciting fighter than Ricky, his last few fights have been fantastic, he had a few dull fights at the beginning of his career but the later has been great to watch. As for Haye, how can you say Ricky is more exciting? your pretty much going to get a knockout.
