Hatton or Calzaghe (British Number 1)

[bzkfn]

I think this one is likely to see Hatton get the more votes at the moment because of his fantastic win, and the fact that it's so fresh and vivid in most people's minds.

However, looking at it dispassionately, I'm torn. Hatton has gone to the states, and no doubt beating Castillo was a huge achievement, but in his other fights he's struggled. Then again, in some of his earlier fights in the first 10 defences in the Calzaghe reign he struggled, especially against Robin Reid. On the other hand, Calzaghe is slick, and can make pure punchers (like Jeff Lacy) look plain and unremarkable. Also, I would say that Calzaghe's rise to the top....in terms of number of fights into his career was quicker, as Hatton spent a long time (under Frank Warren's guiding hand) defending his WBU title, and that the first huge fight of Hatton's career was Kostya Tzuyu, whilst Calzaghe's was Eubank.
I don't know, maybe at a push, I'd let Hatton's fantastic win over the weekend to push me into putting him just ahead.

Super this isn't even debatable Castillo and Tszyu wipe out any of Calzaghes opponents easily Calzaghe may be better skilled but he is no way better than Hatton's opponents aka Tszyu and Castillo and i don't think its even debatable.

Just saying it isn't even debatable is a dumb a** get out for anyone not wishing to debate something, and of course there is an argument that both Tzuyu and Castillo were past their prime. If you can't see there are two sides to all arguments, then you're not open-minded enough, and that isn't even debatable.

I have to disagree. While I try to be open-minded about most things, I find it very difficult to put ticks in the pro column of an argument in favour of Junior Witter
