Is Calzaghe a bit past his prime?

TexDeuce20y ago

I am a Calzaghe fan but admit I haven't seen many of his fights because of his overseas location. For those guys who have watched his career unfold, do you think he has lost anything or is he as good as ever? I saw the Lacy fight and was really impressed. He displayed some good skills. I was just wondering if he has hit his peak or is a bit past it. And where do you rank him among the top Super middles, or even middles of all time? He isn't getting younger, what is he gonna have to do to cement a place among the great middleweights, or a place in the HOF?

Man i hate when deez niggas always hate on Winky and Mallinaggi.....come june 10th the world will know.

20y ago

hehe..your an arse.

20y ago

fuck you.Joe Claslappy is trash so is every fighter other then winky and mallinaggi.

20y ago

zaghe is shit....just cause he beat up a complete bum in Lacy doesnt make him good....hes shit. Calzaghe is the man at super middle, so much so that he can call the biggest threat to his crown in super middle 'shit' after 1 round.

My all-time SMW list: 1- Roy Jones Jr 2- Nigel Benn 3- James Toney 4- Joe Calzaghe 5- Steve Collins Eubank should be in there and imo toney should be lower.

20y ago

I dunno if he his past his prime, JC has not been in many tough fights apart from Reid and few scary moments against Eubank, he has owned everyone else. But yeah dude is still sick, his only weakness is his hands, I agree with JJ, Calzaghe will break his hand on Johnson's head, thats his only problem its the sole reason Calzaghe couldn't stop Lacy in that fight, his left hand was redundant for about 3 rounds.

20y ago

After tht display vs Lacy i hope tht is his PRIME cause it would be scary 2 see him even better, awesome display would have beat any1 tht night.

20y ago

physically he may not be as fast as he used to be but mentally he is sorted and he certianly has no problems with staimina!

20y ago

i have seen no evidence that he is past his prime, espicially with his last preformance. I was going to say the same.People can say what they want about lacy or this and that but Calzaghe clearly is IN his prime right now.He may not be as fast as he once was but he is smarter and knows how to use his skills to the fullest of his ability right now.
