Hatton wasnt world class one dimensional same as dela hoya. Calzaghe's style is the only reason why he hasnt been crowned as the best pound for pound.If he threw one punch in the standard still and knocked people out he'd be crowned the best pound for pound but because he throws several punches some close to cuffing he aint rated.
In my eyes he is the best |
Hatton is def workd class at Light Welter he just hasnt got the dig when he goes up a weight. hes no way one dimensional either as he comes in from differnet angles with his shots and has movement and when he wants to can box a bit aswell.
Your comment about lb for lbers having to be one punch wonders is totaly inaccurate imo as look at Mayweather who is universaly ranked as lb for lb best and hes one of the best pure boxers there is and certainly not a one punch knock out artist. I mean hes got combinations you have never seen before lol.
You cant say someone is lb for lb best just because they have gone 40 odd undefeated because its all down to who they have beat.
You have to be realistic about boxing and its very easy to get carried away and be patriotic i do it myself and i say Joe should be top 5 lb for lb but certainly not top.
Just take Joes 5 best wins for instance or even 10 for that matter and compare them to Mayweather and then tell me his best wins are against classier and better opponants than Floyds.
Like i say it pains me to say a yank is better than us at sport (no offence hacks
)but if your a boxing fan you have to be logical imo and givbe credit where credit is due.
