Ricky Hatton -
Because of the shambles happening within his team, losing Billy Graham and now Kerry Kayes, I'm starting to wonder, is Ricky Hatton coming to an end? One loss and it seems everyone is blaming each other, mainly Ray Hatton. I will be the first to say, Ricky Hatton is my idol, but I believe he was slightly over-hyped by the british. He still though is an elite fighter but near the bottom of elite fighters. However is Hattons time come to an end? He should beat Magic Man easily, don't forget that Hatton had no trouble keeping up with Mayweather... It was Mayweathers inside/defence that cause problems, will Magic Man cause the same problems? Doubt it. If Ricky costs me 30,000 points because he can't sort his life out, then I'll hire a real hitman haha. Just kidding but as sad as it makes me to say, he really is on the decline but is still IMO the no 1 LWW into taken down, and it won't be Paulie, Manny or Amir to do so.
Joe Calzaghe-
Possibly the best fighter to come out of GB. Simply because of his style, trainer and love for the sport. However after 10 years of fighting bums, hes using his win against Jeff Lacy (which got him in the spotlight) to fight hasbeens and maybes. Don't get me wrong, people will always discredit his wins, Jeff at the time would destroy Joe? But now he was a bum and always was a bum. Bernard Hopkins would annhilate him, but now hes just an old man hasbeen... Joe imo is not no 2 lb for lb material, he to me is ranked 5 - 10. He still has a lot to prove into he retires, retiring undefeated is not as important as enchacing your legacy IMO. His slapping style gets criticised a lot, but it can't be all that bad to win 45 fights against some top competition. Like I said, people will always discredit his wins: "Fight Jeff Lacy hes the new Mike Tyson", Joe does so "WTF Jeff was an over-rated bum". Then the same for Mikkel kessler being an over-rated euro bum and Hopkins being an old man. Hopefully he beats Pavlik to enchance his legacy, but people will prob have a reason to discredit that.
Amir Khan-
This guy winds me up. I'll be honest, Amir Khan got me into boxing when I was casual, however now I'm a hardcore boxer I consider Amir Khan a joke. He hasn;t even won a british title, and hes going PPV. Frank Warren knows Amir Khan is over-hyped and is using hype to call out casual boxing fans like me to pay to view Amir. He has many flaws, like his chin and defence yet he calls out the elite fighters, insulting them. Also he wants to improve himself yet he calls out an amateur trainer. Don't get me wrong, Rubio is a fantasic trainer at international... Amateur Level. Rubio will train Amir like an amateur, amateur and pro is a massive difference. He simply called Rubio because Rubio was the only trainer willing to go to england. (why not after he lost his no 1 prize fighter Gamboa?)
David Haye -
Hes got a mouth, but can he walk the talk? Hes a great fighter who I haven't studied very much so I'm not going to talk much. All I will say is, jumping up weights then calling out the no 1 fighter is risky. If he loses then he will be labelled another british bum.
America complain that brits never leave england, but why on earth should we? They don't leave America. America is NOT the country of boxing it once was. Almost every country out-talents them. the fact GB is a small country with 4? world champions while America have 1 bronze medal with a squad of 12 olympians proves my point otherwise..
America should have to come to england to prove themself! Please don't give me red k, as I am flaming my own countrys boxers rather than just over-hyping them.

That is not a boxing indicator.
So, please. Tell me when Hatton was landing effective punches on Mayweather, and I'll post the rounds that you are about to mention. Thanks in advance.
