Watched Skysports fights of 2003 last night. Joe Calzaghe making the 13th defence of his super middleweight world title. Unbeaten in something like 11 years (amateur and pro). And to the think he hardly gets a mention amongst footy players like Rooney who in comparison have done nothing.

Calzaghe was a ledge mate,
I used to watch him with with one of my uncles(ex bare nuckle man),
and he allways said he never got the rewards he deserved,
cheers for the good flash back mate,

He's still around and champion - no need for past tense

 

Calzaghe has never been regarded as a great cause hes never fought any greats.Ok he fought Eubank but a very old Eubank.Its not really Calzaghe's fault but there was no good fighters around,he came just a couple of years too late after the likes of Benn,Collins,McLelland,Toney and Watson.But in recent years theres been no great Super middle weights.He could have fought the best pound for pound a couple of years ago"Roy Jones Jnr"but Jones never fights outside the states and Calzaghe wouldn't travel either.Jones is still around but he moved up to light heavy then heavy.Recently he moved back down to light heavy but looked a shadow of himself,so even if Calzaghe moved up to light heavy i don't think Jones would be interested cause all he wants to do is fight Tyson at heavy then retire.If you have never seen Jones,and you ever get the chance to see some of his earlier fights,you will realize why none of our Brits wanted to fight him.

 

i think calzaghe is one of the best fighters ever, its sad to see good talent getting wasted , coz he can be very successful, i hope he gets good fights against some of these awesome americanboxers coz i know joe will kick their **** and hope to God he would



a brilliant fighter

 

You can't say hes good,hes never fought any decent fighters hes like naz,if he comes up against anybody decent he'll get smoked.

 

clio he did he kicked eubanks **** didnt he and others were running scared

trust me he is good

 

Moses as i said in my other post,Eubank was well past it when he faught Calzaghe i think you'll agree.As for the others running scared?there is no others in the supermiddle weight division,calzaghe needs to move up to light heavy to fight someone decent.
