Is British Boxing Done After Hatton and Calzaghe retires?

[ophqui]

I know he fought Floyd and that is why he will never move up to 147.I love how people like you make tons of excuses for Hattons loss but yet he never tried to prove himself after that in the elite division of 147.You can't deny Bertos talent the man has a stiff jab with blazing fast hands and can lead as well as counter.He might not be on Floyds level but in time he will be damn close to it.

well pacquiao never tried to prove himself in the elite division of middleweight either, does that make him a bum as well? what in gods name are you talking about? hatton is a 140 pound fighter who went up to 47 for a payday, he's not under some obligation to stay there and fight bigger guys for your entertainment.

P.S Berto is nothing special, at all. Hes a hype job to at least jeff lacy proportions

Berto has 22 fights and has achieved precisely **** all. Unless you think that winning Floyd's vacated trinket in a box-off is an achievement. Floyd had stopped the man in his division and had what four title defense by the same stage.

Also Berto went pro as a middleweight and now boils down to 147 lbs. Floyd went pro as a super featherweight and managed to get titles at five weights. Can you see Berto winning at light-heavyweight?

I am not talking about accomplishment wise.He has the ability to move up and win some titles and at least crack the P4P charts in the near future.He is still very young.He will never top Mayweather,but he can achieve alot with the amount of skill he has.

[Silencers]

Definitely not, Amir Khan and David Haye are the future and I'm sure there will be more future stars after them.

You must be a blind fool if you even compare Lacy to Berto.They fight nothing alike.One has ability the other has a punch.Lacy can't be a counter puncher or stick a good jab in your face.Bertos defense ****s on lacys

Nonitio Donaire could very well make up for Manny. He is a very good fighter and i see him going a long way in boxing. I am also keeping an eye out for that conception fighter as well.

[COLINSRI]

There are a few guys whom look good....truth is none are as good as Hatton or JC......

[black.ink]

David Haye. He will take the Heavyweight scene by storm if he takes his time.

Carl Froch, plus a lot of promising amateurs coming through.

Amir Khan is an overrated media darling that hasn't shown any promise that he can challenge anybody at the top of the division. It will come as a shock to Britain when they find out they've (the public) have been taken for mugs.

If he takes his time however, and gets the right trainer then who knows? I'm not wrtiting him off, it just makes me mad how he gets a lot of attention because of his Olympic medal while others get shunned from the limelight.

[Randall_Hopkirk]

David Haye is more exciting and has more potential than both of Hatton and Calzaghe.

[Breakbeat]

In my opinion both Hatton and Calzaghe have squandered their potential chances of recognition as world recognised HOF's by not fighting in America earlier in their careers and fighting a lot of bums most of their careers........... Calzaghe would rather fight RRJ than Pavlik!........that fight should of happened about five years earlier.........

[Pugilistic™]

i don't think so, there are young fighters like khan and froch, etc that could continue british boxing.
