I also think that the length of Hatton's career at the lighter weights will naturally be shorter than Calzaghe's, both because of Hatton's size and lifestyle.
I think the lifestyle can still be ammended..But i think hatton could well have a number of years to go..

It depends..Both have had near enough the same ammount of bouts.. Whilst hatton is much younger and got his shot alot later ' number of fights wise' .. Whilst calzaghe has had his all these years.. But not been as assertive in making his name until recent years..

I beleieve the reids mitchells and brewers of calzaghes record are those inbetween guys.. I know, you know and anyone who has ever really stepped in a ring can appreciate they are damn good fighters..
They are good..But thats the problem..Theya re only good, You can diss the urango's.. The maussa's but they were still champs and thats title fights and as good fighters as calzaghe has faced..
But Hatton has had titles to gain from these fights.. Calzaghe as a reigning champ should probably have faced more 'Tyszu's and castillo's'

And no offense to you.. Its only opinion after all.. But The Up and coming monster that is lacy ..still his biggest win as of yet.. And a past prime but always skillful and game Eubank dont match up to Kostya and Castillo imo..

And perhaps calzaghe may have undeserved problems in future fights because of the elite stages he wishes to conquer which he left it so late he isnt young, he has hand problems..
It may well all go wrong..

Ricky likes a pint.. But his commitment to training when it counts will probably carry him through
