Joe Calzaghe retired months ago, in a very high profile way.
I was going to say that.
He's coming back. He's not going out until he reaches 50-0
I fear if Calzaghe keeps fighting over here, he'll lose just like Hatton.Quote:

Mostly, Hatton keeps getting hammered because he doesn't have a good chin and he doesn't learn from his mistakes. I figured that out int he callazo fight where he kept getting tagged with the same shot and almost got ko'd in the 12th.
Overall Hatton is a good fighter though. If it wasn't for this fight, he would have still been out of the "Over-hyped Brtish Bums" list. Now Calzaghe is the only non-overhyped good Brit left
I noticed that boxers that fight overseas a lot amass these huge records (could be they just fight more often) but they start fighting over here at a decent clip and lose.
There's this American boxer, Winky Wright, that mostly fought overseas (France I think) had a very nice record and hell he just got 2 losses in a row.
Anyway, I think Hatton is done. His two losses are so devastating-
one, he got hit solid while rushing in and hit the top turnbuckle (I could not help but laugh at that)
and two, he was knocked...well you know the story.
Both times I thought he could win.:ermm: People laughed at me for picking Hatton.:pinch:
What do you base that on.Quote:

Yep, any self-respecting mam would've beat him upside the clueless cranium with yon microwave and several other stolen kitchen utilities.Quote:
