How? Hatton fought and beat Tsyzu (the best at the time) now he is fighting Mayweather, who is the best of his generation.
Whether you like it or not, Lacy and Kessler doesn't come close to Tsyzu or Mayweather.
Calzaghe's held a title & defended it longer...whether you like it or not...or maybe you just forgot.
If Floyd totally destroys Hatton.
If Calzaghe were to whoop Hopkins...like it or not...you'd then have to recognize Calzaghe as a great.
Im with u on this one Wack. Calzaghe has done more than the Fatman. A win over a couple of long in the tooth champs, is not as good as seein off 2 young Prime lions....
:coolclick: Agreed 100%.

I just think that Joe has done plenty & doesn't get enough respect...
Re: Why should Calzaghe have the privilege
I think he is better then Hatton to Wacko but if Hatton beats PBF Calzaghe may need few more wins to stay ahead of Hatton.

Well les compare them up....
Calzaghe-Turned pro in 1993 is 44-0 (32) has been Champion 10yrs
Hatton- 43-0 (31) turned pro in 1997 and has been world champion just over 2 yrs but is also champion in 2 divisions
If Hatton beats Mayweather It will be a toss up for me.....Though Joe has been undefeated for a longer period of time and champion the same amount of time Hatton has been pro...he has gone long periods of time with very weak comp.....Hatton has managed to squeeze in the same amount of fights in 4 less years....
If he beats Floyd he will have a win over an undisputed Champion and legend in Tszyu (even if Tszyu was past best)...and maybe the second most gifted fighter in the last 15yrs along with being a two division champion gives a lot of weight in Hattons Favor.....without the two division title IMO the comparison until the result of PBF would not even be close it would be hands down Calzaghe......
I still give Joe the edge but if Hatton beats Floyd...the real decision will be who on each man faces and how dominate they win in their next fights

If it was a remote country its different, but when its a country one fighter comes from its an obvious advantage for them. United States has the deepest professional boxing tradition from what I've seen, and more importantly the most money is made in the states.

why does all of Calzaghe's big fights have to be in the UK? I could understand Kessler and Lacy going to the UK to try to dethrone him, but if Calzaghe wants to dethrone Hopkins he should come here. Simple honor and respect demands in.
At the end of the day, this is going to show us who wants it more. I think Calzaghe will come just this once to the U.S.
Calzaghe should ask for a compromise which states that if Calzaghe comes to America, he will get the much larger purse because B-Hop is not only being a biatch about the location, he is also playing hardball regarding the money situation.
I say make this fight in a neutral country and winner takes the bigger purse. These two old phuk heads are acting like kids. No wonder they never grow old because neither one has grown up.
Good quote..agreed completely. CC

Ain't that like saying Audley Harrison had the balls to come to the US but not Calzaghe?
Nah, Audley couldn't get one man and his dog to watch him anymore, so he thought he'd go con you lot.
Haha, you gotta love that Audley fought Sprott in his home town and got booed.

hopkins is overated. Ive said this before for 10 years he fought welterweights and second rate middleweights and lost to taylor, who is useless.

SC also if Joe Calzaghe gets credit for ruling his division Hopkins deserves the same recongnition.
