Calzaghe probably deserves it but despite his achievements he suffers from not having the sort of mass popularity outside Wales that the huge audiences on terrestrial TV (enjoyed by the likes of Frank Bruno, Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank etc. over the years ) would have guaranteed him.

Hatton could well have won had the result last night been different.

I'm no great fan of F1 but Lewis Hamilton is a huge talent and has just the right image. IMO he would have walked it had he won the F1 championship but could still do so. Yes he had a great car but so did the reigning champion Alonso and Hamilton was a rookie.

Hamilton gets my vote just and given our abysmal record in tennis Andy Murray would be my outsider.
