      tszyu was more proven than kessler and hatton's loss to floyd actually trumps any win of calz's

        I ain't a fan of either and I do respect both, but I think Joe C is a much better fighter so I'd give him more props.

          Hatton is a nicer bloke and he's easier to like. I also think people respect how he has always tried to fight the best and recovering from a loss like he took against Mayweather also makes him a lot more liked.

          I'm actually glad to see Hatton get the respecdt he deserves here on boxingscene. Not only is he a great fighter, he's also one of the nicest people in sport today...

            Why do we have to choose? They have both achieved a lot.

              I've respected Hatton more for a long time now.

              #1. He didnt come to the U.S. at the end of his career to finally fight.

              #2. He fought real challengers and threats

              #3. He seems to be a genuinely humble guy

              #4. His girl, while not the finest (but definitely cute), is definitely realer than CalSlappy's fake looking *****!!

                  I'm a boxing fan and Calzaghe is 100better than Ricky, so i guess the answer is Joe.

                  "He fought real challengers and threats"

                  Hopkins is p4p better than everybody Ricky has faced, so where is the point? This exclude MAyweather, but c'mon Ricky was outclassed and stopped by a guy who couldn't hurt Zab "Super-Chin" Judah. He earned 20M pounds for this fight. Joe would fight Wladimir Klitschko for this money.
                  I think the most ignorant AMericans will like Ricky because he is a down-to-earth guy and an average talent. He is easy to hit and easy to beat. Calzaghe is still undefeated and the Yank-assassin!

                  P.S. MAyweather fans should stop acting like Ricky is something special, only to make FLoyd's win look better. I'm pretty sure Floyd will come back if he gets a chance to fight Ricky. Because MAyweather has no balls to fight real contenders. Thats the think which seperates him from real legends like Ali, Duran or Leonard.

                      I agree, Hatton has never defeated a prime opponent as good as the two-division champion Kessler. Kostya Tszyu was a great fighter, but had been inactive and was past his best.

                      Still, props to Hatton, who has really dominated the 140 division and deserves a lot of respect.
