    even in technique? have you lost it?

      Doesn't stand to reason, at all.

      And there was nothing previously to indicate that Tszyu was shot, till the ref allowed Hatton to maul him for 11 rounds making him quit on his stool and retire. Roy was known to be shot for years, like after back to back KO losses to guys that could carry his jock in his prime. Tszyu was still #2 p4p, Roy ... #200, maybe .....

        I hate to say this, but calzaghe by UD. You got to give it to joe, he can throw a thousand slaps in under 10 rounds, and can counterslap with the best of em, enjoys getting dropped by 40 yr old men, while slapping bums silly at home til his mid 30's, stays in the lime light till enzo and his fans declare him the greatest and retires. But if he didn't retire would still be behind JMM, Pacman and Floyd, even with his amazing record in the p4p ranks. Yes folks the legend that is Joe Calzaghe. But on a serious note, 30 to 40 yrs from now, i'm pretty sure ricky(and lennox)will be remembered over calzaghe because of the way that they fought and by not ducking anyone.

            Have you lost it? That's what you should be asking yourself. JC has better boxing skills hands down. Even Hatton fans will be able to tell you that.

              Dude, it is ***n Daggum. That man would sooner cut off his own **** than speak a positive word about Calzaghe.

                So your arguing about which one had the best left overs and old men about to retire ,,, kinda says what both resumes are on the world stage !

                    What happened to Hatton against Pacquio is what would of happened to Calzaghe if he would of fought Chad Dawson... So i'ma go with Hatton since he had the heart to take a beating, lol

                      Maybe not shot, but definately on the bus there.

                      If you saw Kostya fight Leija out here in 2003 you could see it. Leija was stopped on cuts in the mid rounds from memory but I remember watching the fight with a mate and we both were saying that it was definately not the same old KT and he needed to look at hanging them up. I was not at all surprised to see him get stopped by Hatton. It wasn't a shot version of Tszyu but it was definately one well past its best days.
