Both Calzaghe and Hatton's resume is hard to define, They both fought too many mediocre opposition IMO and only have 0ne or two good names on their resume.

In my opinion Hatton has done more than Joe, he didn't have a 20 year title run, but i bet with the right management and picked opponents he could have, instead he chose to look for big name fights and traveled to get them.
He just lost against a prime p4p best fighter on the entire planet, moving up in weight, traveling thousands of miles to fight .. to be the best on the planet
Joe just beat Hopkins ... a good few years out of prime Hopkins and he failed to do it impressively, but Joe will be remembered for his skill and title run, not who he fought.
I love Ricky to bits and financially he's already done better than Calzaghe but their legacies are miles apart.

Witter defends his WBC junior welterweight title against Timothy Bradley on Saturday in Nottingham. Witter feels that Calzaghe did not look his best when winning a split-decision over Bernard Hopkins a few weeks ago in Las Vegas. He knows that he can't afford to give anything but a stellar performance. [details]

Hatton has courage and aggressiveness, but is reach-challenged and seems to tire and weaken in later rounds (Collazo, Urango, and Mayweather fights).
Joe is smarter, able to improvise, and gets stronger as the fights go on.Last edited by The Hammer; 05-08-2008, 07:39 AM.

Mark Vester needs a third grade tutor.
A Welshmen and Englishmen are about as much countrymen as Mexicans and Americans! Please go look at a map or talk to a third grade teacher, this is the second time first being when you called Hattan and Calzaghe countrymen. Third time the charm, you may get it right.

Originally posted by azza View PostCastillo - looked pretty shot to be fair, but he knocked him out for the first time and he won his next fight by knockout.
Castillo was stopped five, count em, FIVE times prior to Hatton.
1. Cesar Soto
2. Javier Jauregui (twice)
3. Julio Alverez
4. Diego Corrales.
Not to mention that Castillo's purse in the Hatton fight went to Corrales' family.
