Joe Calzaghe admit that Junior Witter is a better fighter than Ricky Hatton

[judoandpeace]

calzaghe got lucky twice against roy jones and b hop, all so they can make his reeocd clean

i wonder what those 2 would do in a rematch, we will never know, as Calslappy retired....mmmm odd

[simondgrass]

@judoandpeace He bashed Jones up! I was nearly in tears....

[thechosen2010]

Carl Froch has a better resume than Joe Calzaghe.

[IrelandRaven]

@thechosen2010 when he was calling calzaghe out his best win was against brian magee in a british title fight, not to mention the fact that he could never beat calzaghe. sure, his short term resume is better, but look what kessler did to him, and that was an injured, faded kessler, if the fight had happened when froch wanted it oooh boy it would have been ugly..

[TheLagunaSunrise]

@thechosen2010 Yep.

[pump3344]

ricky need to fight again he can fight.

my nega can fight .

if he fight pac again maybe hell do better

understand.

[tinkerin0]

calzaghe is talking about his own opponent

[hotelroyale100]

It seems these brittle hand fighters like to support each othere.

[icefergdafirehazzard]

He was saying that Witter was better than Froch p4p I remember watching that interveiw.

[biggerflexible]

Junior witter? LOL there is a reason Junior never fights big in the states.

[FATBOYNOTSLIM103]

juniour IS SHIT AS FUCK

HE ISNT EVEN IN HES LEAGUE!

[jorgekluney]

Tell that to Ben Tackie.

He'd probably appreciate your nod of confidence.

Then he'd remember how Hatton busted him up around the ring.

[KINGTAZER]

witter is fucking bad, witter has lost to more black fighters than ricky, and the 2 witter lost to are shit, unlike mayweather and pacman so fuck you

[kottto22]

[BLAZIN000GRIME000MC]

@kottto22 khan will knock tim bradley out

Hatton is better than all black fighters.

[kottto22]

[D36YLDJOHN]

@kottto22 R U THE SADDO WHO FOLLOWS KHAN VIDEOS

[wZLisEpIC]

@iainmacdo hes a little behind pacman

[wasspoppin111]

hes famous but he made fuck all money

[thechoosen001]

u yanks still bitching get over it u all be able bitch about froch knockin taylor out soon be a change for u

[natalieholt]

VERY TRUE

[magnumforce1983]

You americans are soo full of shit, I think this stems from black folk being upset that a white man gave the blackies something to chew on.. Jones JR, Lacy, and that piece of shit Hopkins something to cry about... lol stop hating and accept, the white boy kicked the black mans booty!!!

[barneyboy2001]

He was talking about Froch, not Hatton lol He slated Witter really in this interview.lol

[puglist1]

Calzaghe's career is pretty much a joke and he padded his record, Warren is more to blame as he protected his fighter, I mean a guy is pro since 1993 and you havent heard of him until he beats Lacy in 2006, thats 13 years, defenses against bums while protecting the WBO belt, and maybe 2 or 3 mandatories. Cherry picking at its finest...

I know the truth will hurt his fans but in a few years from now calzaghelegacy will be the way it is...a joke of a career

[SammyJ21]

But to be honest he did fight the best in the world in his prime and he won... Every single fight! No losses in his professional career! You gotta admire him for that surely? He had big fights since Lacy and that is 2 and a half years running!

I know what you mean about Frank Warren though, he's a fucking bellend!

[TimeSplittersChimp]

did you say calzaghe faced the best in the world in thier prime ? WHO ? he has 3 names Eubank, Jones , Hoppkins all were past it when he beat them and hoppkins im still convinced beat him. Im a Calzaghe fan i just find it disrespectfull to this sport when other fans of his make out he is the greatist

[crazyfootyfan]

If you think Hopkins beat him you have no clue about boxing. Holding and jabbing doesnt win you a fight nor does prentending about a low blow

[TimeSplittersChimp]

Actually i know alot about boxing just because someone dissagrees with you does not make them wrong so work on that ok it makes you sound like the retard, As for the fight hoppkins tryed to steal time when joe was building up by pretending he got hit low and used any dirty tactics from his head to wasting time to stop the fight picking up speed. Joe was the only one doing anything allbhop did was sit on the ropes and pot shot he is boring and lost the fight get over it USA such bad loosers

[marty11112222]

mate im english but personly i thought bhop won that fight and thoes shots were low just watch the highlights to see that

[kottto22]

im calzaghe fan...but uv got a good argument there! it shouldnt have took 10 years of mandatory defences of the WBO belt before going to america should it

[dannylatics]

He says WItter is a better fighter than Froch, idiot

[ZIKEHTV]

nah A BETTER FIGHTER THAN HATTON!

[crazycompassion]

yea he's saying Witter is a better fighter then Froch, not neccesserily Hatton

[BarrySlisk]

Very creative cutting there....

[thatalldo]

nice cutting ,calzaghe is saying that jounior witter is a better fighter to hatton then carl froch it to himselth

[lemmac]

bang on Wiser72 i picked that up straight away... i'm sure the poster knows that too cos he cut the video pretty sharpish - joe was just about to say "... than carl froch"

[Wiser72]

Dumbass, he's saying the difference is that Junior Witter is a better fighter (than Froch.) He's comparing the mouthing off between Froch to him and Witter to Hatton. Calzaghe would stop Froch and Hatton would KILL Junior Shitter.

[boxerboy91]

fank u! someones done research well done evilmickey, junior witter would get smashed by hatton tell me one big name fighter witter has fought ...

[welshboy2435]

witter has fought zab judah , viv harris who hatton has constantly dodged, andreas kotelink, tim bradley who hatton is dodging.

[10splayer]

Floyd Mayweather ring a bell? and on May 2 Manny Pacquaio who he has not dodged.

[theRebels3]

So Hatton fights Mayweather and Collazo at a higher weight, takes on possibly the greatest light welter ever in Kostya Tszyu but he dodged Vivian Harris?? Come on, man, be real.

Hatton would have fought Harris after Tszyu had Harris not been spanked by the rakish and unknown Carlos Maussa about a week after Hatton beat Tszyu. That meant Hatton had to fight Maussa who he duly sparko'd in 9.

[theRebels3]

How the hell is Hatton dodging Bradley??? FFS! Get a grip. Hatton for all his faults as a boxer is the biggest draw in world boxing so why the fuck would he fight a guy who generates about $89. per fight. Christ you've a lot to learn.

[dyerlegend]

. Hatton hasn't fought people because of financial reasons.. this is his proffession after all. Youve named Vivien Harris, Zab Judah, Andreas Kotelink and Timothy Bradley.. All good opponents not to be overlooked. Hatton has faught Mayweather, Pacquiao (soon in may), Jose Luis Castillo, Kostya Tszu and not to mention moving up a weight division on 6 weeks notice to fight Collazo. He unified the division at light welter. If he dodged these lightwelters, he would of fought them to unify the title.

[01ippsy]

zab judah, demarcus corley, vivian harris, andriy kotelnik, lovmore N'dou and timothy bradley

that answer ur question? lol

[theRebels3]

A-listers then. lol!

[sugarnadf]

eh...he fought judah,corley, harris, bradley, kotelnik and Ndou. and all these guys were or are champs at sum point

[greeny707619]

witter is loads better than hatton , thats why he dodged him for 10 ears

[evilmickey]

He was actully saying that Junior is a better fighter then Carl Froch. Not Rickey Hatton.

What a stupid video...

[mickvandam69]

Stupid video taken out of context, hense only showing those 10 seconds. He was actually talking about Carl Froch, saying how Froch is making it personal, publically slagging off Calzaghe in an attempt to get the fight, the same as how Witter was slagging off Hatton in the media. The comment "the difference is Witter is the better fighter" means Witter is better than FROCH, nothing to do with Hatton.

The guy that posted this video is clearly trying to twist the interview. Dick.

[jarvobrrrrap]

he never said witter was better then hatton he cut the end bit off he said the only differents is that witter is a better fighter then carl froch

[jahdanza]

I am not saying Joe Calslappy is complete shit, but if he was in the Benn, Watson, Collins, Eubank era, he would of got killed, simple! Also how can any1 diss Carl Froch for his performance against Pascal, Pascal was a undefeated fighter, that proved to be tough as nails & he would of gave any1 a run for there money.

[springbox1982]

you truely no nothing about boxing undeafeated means nothing. Pascal has never fought a world class fighter.

[Taylor1889]

kk so ur bigging up carl froch for beatin a undefeated pascal who hasnt fought no1 and u diss calzaghe when hes beaten many undefeated fighters includin kessler who would kill pascal

[notsoslick7]

pascal would get destroyed by the likes of kessler,hopkins,even lacy froch has fought NOBODY.

[crowland11and]

collins admitted calzaghe would beat the 4 of them and he did beat eubank

[jahdanza]

Ok fair enough 46/46 for Calzaghe however except for Kessler has he even thought any real top notch & prime? Eubank was retired, B-Hop was old but gave him a real good battle, RJJ was ancient, Lacy was an overrated to fuck Yank. And the fuck is Manfredo?! hahaha

[HowardWinstone]

This has been taken out of context I think, Calzaghe in the full interview is talking about Carl Froch calling him out. He isn't saying Witter is better than Hatton, he's saying Witter is a better class of fighter than Froch

[mickvandam69]

Correct.

[retror0b0t]

hatton beats witter. calzaghe beats froch. there we go

[spliffs8]

joe calzaghe is being an absoloute cunt and talking shit because he is scared of froch, he actually said how did froch not stop pascal, how did he not stop jones

[narang]

witter has always been better than hatton. hatton is a smart conman..why u think he denied all of his fanboys of a match for all those years. he knows he cant deal with that style. just because he had an offnite and lost by a point to bradley, doesn't mean he's not still the best. witter on top form would beat bradley or anyone else.. he would beat hatton even on a terrible night. hatton dont have that type of skills to capitalise

[garnetthoran]

what a load of ring

[dafcymru1]

whoever made this video is knob! calzaghe was saying that witter is better than froch!

[jrwdsl1]

i agree that calzaghe shouldn't get involved in these daft slangin matches but he makes a fair point that froch has done nothin to back up his mouth. anyone who knows anythin about boxin knows the politics behind it and froch can't expect to fight the best in the division right now. he's goin to have to get in against some bigger names first which i hope he gets the chance to do

[localiser1]

calzaghe means - in comparative terms - witter is a better fighter than froch. hatton would not give witter (a proven, tested better fighter) a payday so why should calzaghe give froch one? no mugabe needed!

[ObamaBarackHussein]

There no doubt. Witter would ko Hatton in 2rds

[AussieAussie1976]

Witter fights 140 whereas Froch is a big 168. Froch would stopo Witter in three. Guaranteed.

[luke2183]

if you see the full video he says witter is a better figher than froch

[xplund]

I think Joe is saying that Witter is better than Froch, not Hatton.

[IrelandRaven]

this is so fake lol, hes saying witter is better than someone else, maybe froch, but not hatton.

[thesoldier79]

witter is no waaay in hattons league dotn even talk about froch hel murder him

[HouseOldSkoolRaver]

he is wrong on this also as Froch is better then shitter witter

[xplund]

I agree.

[TysonJunior18]

Witter is a better fighter than Hatton he called him out for years and ricky diden want the fight cause he was a threat to hattons shitty IBO title

[falitigate]

JOE DOES ADMIT WITTER IS BETTER AND FOR ALL YOU KNUCKLE HEADS THAT DONT BELIEVE IT CHECK OUT THE PROPER CLIP CALLED---Joe Calzaghe Slags Off Carl Froch

[dlzoidberg]

Joe doesn't 'admit' Witter is better than Froch, he gives his opinion on it. I think Froch would be too strong for Witter on a pound-for-pound comparison.

[dyerlegend]

i saw it he was refering to hatton supposedly ducking witter and now him supposedly ducking froch... he was saying the standard of witter is higher than froch.. twats

[gizmoisafag]

ye finally someone understand this video is slightly confusing to some people cuz they have edited it to make it look like he is saying junior witter is better than hatton

[gizmoisafag]

he is saying junior is better than froch u twat

[YeowPower]

no hes saying mayweather is better then hatton! which he is.... YOU SLUT

[gizmoisafag]

calm down mayweather is nothing to do with you fucking hormonal twat

I am talking about junior Witter

[Mikey2936]

He meant carl Froch is a better fighter than Witter you bell end

[fletcher67]

The other way around.

[Lovekanyewest]

This is what I like by Joe, he not racist and admit that the black man is a better fighter.

[Lollerskates2k7]

im sure i saw you on another video slagging joe off lol and hes not racist but hes not on about junior witter and ricky hatton

[Triplesod]

What the fuck does race have to do with anything?

Fuck off you prick!

[Triplesod]

What is the point of this?? It is so pathetic to doctor video to invent a point for your own agenda.

He means that Witter is a better boxer than Froch.

You're fucking pathetic mate, you know damn well what Cal's point was here!

Anyway, to try and bring this thread from the brink of terminal shittiness, does anyone actually agree with what Joe was saying in this footage (those of you who have seen the full interview)? I thought he was being a bit of a cock to be honest.

[notsoslick7]

did he say anything that isnt true? no!

[Triplesod]

I think you are missing the point mate.

The uploader has cut the video to back his own agenda. Joe didn't mean what is suggested here and the uploader knows that damn well.

Listen to the full interview to understand.

[notsoslick7]

no im not

[Lovekanyewest]

I have seen the full video. Nothing be edited. He would have deleted your comment if he was twisting things like BBC Censors Nelson Mandela's Mugabe comments.......

watch?v=RE5LfhW3-8g

[notsoslick7]

i meant everything he is saying about froch is understandable.

[Triplesod]

OK. I misunderstood. My apologies.

[notsoslick7]

wot do u think about froch as a champion anyway? he stil has a lot 2 prove

[Triplesod]

He certainly does have a lot to prove, particularly to the Americans, who, unfortunately, still decide who is box office materiel or not.

I thought his fight with Pascal showed that he definitely has the heart (and the chin) of a champ but people need to realise that that isn't how he fights. Froch is a clean boxer, he is very talented and could out box anyone in his division (he could even give Joe a run for his money). He proved against Pascal that he can brawl as well. [cont...]

[Triplesod]

That was a cracking fight but, although Pascal is a decent contender, we cannot judge Froch in any kind of certainty until he gets in there with the big boys. I think he has earned a night in the ring with Kessler now and if he wins that, we can really start getting excited (if I had to bet, I would bet on a UD for Kes), until then though, there are too many question marks. It really would be unfair to judge such an up'n'comer.

I take it you're not a fan? Thoughts on Carl V Kes?

[Triplesod]

P.s. I really think Joe is out of order in this interview (the full thing). I think he's a great boxer and like all the great boxers, he has learnt certain techniques that make his weaknesses a positive, ie his weak hands, people will call him "Calslappy" or whatever bollocks but he will out point any fucker! I just don't understand why he has to act up at times. He seems a really decent lad but seems to get confused with the shit-talking. I just wish he'd knock it on the head.

[notsoslick7]

i think kessler froch would be a great fight,theres alot of interesting fights at SMW i think.froch needs 2 understand how boxing works he cant expect a fight with calzaghe seriously can he

[Triplesod]

Doubt it very much. It's a safe call out for Froch. Joe's as good as retired, there's just no one there for him to fight and CF knows that he'll never get a fight with JC. Why'd Joe want to? Very small returns, against an international nobody (at the moment) who could still cause an upset for Joe. It just wouldn't make any sense. So Froch can milk it by calling out arguably the number 1 P4P, knowing he'll never have to put his money where his mouth is but it gets his name about. Very clever.

[notsoslick7]

i think hes making himself look way 2 cocky by saying he would beat calzaghe when any real boxing fan knowing he couldnt realistically,i can c him struggling against a few guys in the division 2 be honest.

[localiser1]

he meant junior witter is better than froch - in comparative terms

[KaptainKiddo]

he was speaking about Carl Froch you muppet, and comparing his call outs to watch Junior Witter does to Hatton...
