Ragu--totally agree that harding is a 'gateway' fighter now.

jangeorg - First, let me tell you that I have no special attraction or affinity to any boxer just because of where they are from.

Chad Dawson is a good fighter, but I said he needs more work. I did see him wobble in the fight, but he never lost his composure. After the first round, this fight started to remind me of JM Marquez v. M Pacquiao. Nervous energy, then focused plan.

side note...
Joe Calzaghe has bee going on about how no one has 'heard' about him and the 'secret' is out. That man has been well protected for many years, and it was exactly that type of career that Hatton is trying NOT to have; hometown hero.

This is exactly the type of fight Calzaghe takes... a 21-0 kid who hasn't proven anything yet and may just be making his way to the top ten.

Yes, Calzaghe has fought top ten fighters, but WHEN did he fight them?

Johnson KO's Calzaghe--if Johnson comes to pressure
