I'm by no means a fan of boxing for a number of reasons that I won't list here because I'm not here to troll. This will certainly be my one and only post on this forum but I wanted to attempt to put the case for Joe Calzaghe. I'm well aware of what Joe has been doing in the last few years because he's from the same city as me, Cardiff, and he has a similar background, one of my parents is Italian. I'm a big sports fan and Joe is regularly interviewed on local radio. It seems that Joe is getting some some stick for being unwilling to travel. The fact is that he has been seeking a career defining fight for many years, he has been fighting and beating anyone put in front of him and looking and waiting for the fight that would settle his legacy and give him the big purse he deserved. Please don't ridicule him for not fighting outside of the UK, he would have been only too pleased to, but no-one in the USA was interested in him and he's also suffered badly with injuries at the wrong time. Thats why he did so well in this last bout, he had his chance and he was going to make damn sure he took it.
