    Yes Hatton's wins over Tszyu and Pac would trump anything Calzaghe has done
    45.83%

    No, because Joe has more skill
    8.33%

    Yes of coarse. Hatton has beaten better fighters
    29.17%

    Nah Joe would still rank above him for me

      He definelty has better names on his resume imo. Tszyu was still a good fighter when Hatton beat him. Cant say the same for Jones.

            after hatton fights pac he will have went after 2 p4p #1's both in their primes, ok yeah he lost but at least he fought dangerous fighters, beat kostya (although on the decline), and he fought the guys at the top of his weight division.....i do put this down to him leaving frank warren while he was still young!

            For me calzaghe only fought lacy (hypejob) and kessler who could be considered "prime" fighters at the top of their game and then took on big names who arent as good as they were...although the hopkins win carries some weight cause he proved he had some left in the tank against pavlik, but jones looked SHOT! Joe C shud have left warren much earlier in his career and went after the biggest fights!
