    I would put Collazo down to an off night, he had to adjust to many things that night and still pulled off a win, if I am proven otherwise in the future I will say so on here!

    Hattons finess and strength allied with a good chin and punch makes his style very effective and I think he is perhaps the only man who could beat Floyd Mayweather although I agree it would be a tough ask!

      Oh hell yeah, i completey forgot about him, for some reason, i always seem to. I can't wait to see him again. I hope RJJ dominates this weekend, I'd love to those 2 fight

        Yeah on second thoughts I cannot think of a Calzaghe weakness less for his brittle bones!

          Counterpunching style if perfected is just about unbeatable in boxing. Yeah it's boring but effective. Winky, Marquez, Hopkins.........combine them and they're perfect.

            You think so, i have thought about that also, I know every fighter is intitled to an off night. Maybe that was his. Time will tell. The only reason i wouldn't give him much of a chance with PBF is because of how Floyd handled Corrales so easily. And IMO Corrales is very active and strong like Hatton.

              Calzaghe is so damn fast and has extremely good footwork! However, I think he has yet to meet someone as quick as him. If only RJJ were still in his prime.

                I agree wholeheartedly with this, I am not ****** enough to state that Hatton is unbeatable but he would give any fighter a tough fight due to his style!

                  It will probably be PBF, James Toney or ODLH. In the not to distant past it was probably Duran or RLL.

                  I dont really know if its Style or perhaps more of a matter of very solid fundamentals and experience in facing these and ability to make slight adjustments and adapt.

                  PBF has the skills to fight at a distance and fight in the box (at his more natural lower weights). PBF has underated power also.

                  ODLH also has that boxer puncher combination that works well against almost anyone. If your a slugger he can make it a boxing match if your a boxer he can pressure you and make you fight at an uncomfortable pace.

                  James Toney (lower weights) was excellent also at both boxing at a distance and we all know his prowess in the box even with is back to the ropes.

                  I think Duran's like JLC has very underrated boxing skills. Duran was an excellent boxer and when he applied pressure he did it very intellegently.

                    Depends on the weight class in my opinion.

                      I have another one, now keep an open mind. This guy, isn't the best, but on any given night can beat ANY fighter, regaurdless of style. His chin, Heart and pure power, is unmatched in boxing,
