Wait, Jones even with Tszyu at the time they fought them respectively? ARE YOU SERIOUS? WOW.

I like both guys and it's hard to say, but like people mentioned Calzaghe won all of his big fights. RJJ might have been past his prime but Hopkins, Lacy, and Kessler were all there. Hatton's great too, but i think in this comparison Joe would be greater.

So no, not really. Any way you look at it hopkins was far removed from his prime.
The whole thing with Calzaghe is he should have stepped up a loooong ass time ago. Not waiting 10+ years to fight untested/unproven Lacy. Kessler (best win). And of course the senior citizen tour (43 year old hopkins, 40 year old Jones). Calzaghe won his biggest fights whereas hatton lost, but Calzaghe would have lost to two #1 pound 4 pound champs to if he fought Jones then Hopkins in their primes. The difference was hatton had the balls to do it whereas calzaghe was too insecure or whatever to take the risk when it mattered the most.Last edited by ИATAS; 05-05-2009, 12:01 AM.

Hatton dared to be great as was said in an earlier post and props to him but I give Calzaghe the edge.
Both resumes are padded...seems to be the european way unfortunatley...its hard to break into the us market if no body will fight you and plus they are more than entitled to fight a heap there to get the resume looking half decent.

I am by NO means a Joe C fan, but Joe is a much greater fighter, even in Technique alone is far superior. I appreciate his ability and style of fighting over Hattons wrestling style.
