    Dont be daft Hatton has 2 good wins.
    Hatton has plenty of good wins, what you mean is he only has 2 career defining wins.

    you can't fight top 10 p4p every fight you know, he has fought and beat 7-8 people who where ranked top 10 in his division over his career, that some of those have proved not to be great in retrospect doesn't make them suddenly rubbish wins..

      His career is in no way comparable to Calzaghes.

        that may be , chunk.

        but that doesn't count on one's resume.

        if might not be joe's fault but it is what it is.

            You're right Hatton wasn't fighting corpses for his entire "prime" portion of his career.

              i'm liking this thread Tua.

              Ricky and Joe's resumes are actually pretty similar.

              Ricky is underated.

                very much so.

                i had to go a long way to defend ricky when i posted him in my top 10 p4p.

                got a lot of flack. people were saying i should have mijares or calderon.

                where's mijares now? and who the hell has ivan beaten? give me a break.

                  The story of Joe's boxing career. It ain't his fault but it is his fault.

                    i'm just going off of resume , chunk.

                    we can't say for sure why this fight or that fight didn't happen.

                    all we can go off of is the fights that did happen.

                    you say ricky didn't win a belt 'til 2005 but look at what he did do when he did win.

                    ricky is very underrated.

                    in the end , ricky might not be as skilled as joe but his resume can stand up there against joe's. the only thing joe has on him is longevity.

                    if ricky beats paulie tomorrow and ends up beating say pacquiao or even marquez next year. i'd be very happy for the guy.

                      I never understood that because he lost to Mayweather he was taken off the list.

                      Mayweather was number 1 after all.

                      Hatton wasn't meant to win.
