Not often that I disagree with you Ernie, but I do here. Don't get me wrong I loved watching Hatton in many of his fights. Some were proper tear-ups which were explosive and exciting. The kind of thing which puts bums on seats and shows what an honest fighter he was which is largely why he was so popular, but I can't have that he would have beat Calzaghe at all let alone in three.
I was sometimes disappointed with JC in his fights and although if you look at his record it reads better than he was, since he fought lots of people past their best and probably should have lost to Robin Ried, but there is nothing to base on that he would have lost so convincingly. I think he was probably too smart for Ricky and would not have let himself get drawn into a brawl. In a brawl there would only be one winner, but I think Joe would have done a similar job on him to what to happened to Haye on Saturday and win without really hurting him.
