Calzaghe is shot

[crillz]

Not totally shot, but he just was not at the races on Saturday and only his quickness, chin and workrate saw him through

His footwork, angles and movement just weren't there and neither was he able to sit down on anything, and he was only against a limited robot, most padded fighter in history and guy who won his titles against the two worst titlists in boxing

I'm not sure what others are seeing, I saw a near-shot fighter making hard work of it against another somewhat average challenger

Calzaghe beat a better boxer than Mikkel Kessler in better fashion seven years ago (in Richie Woodhall)

Calzaghe is shot?? LMAOOO!....

[-Hyperion-]

post prime doesnt mean he is shot juy....a post prime calzaghe can still woop ass @175...

JuyJuy is right though. years back Calzaghe was KNOCKING PEOPLE OUT.. now i think hes changed his style to suite his injured left hand.

Agreed, his style is far more about his boxing than power these days due to his injuries. In a lot of ways that's far more impressive.

Imo, both Kessler and Calz is overrated.. I wouldn't say Joe is shot though, but you've already clarified by stating that he isn't "totally shot"..

[Orange Sneakers]

Calzaghe was grossly under-rated until last year, but now he's grossly over-rated

It's insane on both counts, IMO


And Kessler seems to be over-rated, too

[jayfelice]

He is not shot, he fought in a different style relying more on his jab.

joe ain't shot.

he's a little past his prime but far from shot.

Hopkins is shot, thats why he pulled a hatton on Winky Wright. Hbo.com, the ones who make the contracts have already said that Joe Calzaghe has been trying to get fights with Hopkins/Jones Jr for years and both have ask for a ridiculous amounts of money. And hbo would know since their the ones who make the contracts. Those two have been ducking Calzaghe for a long time. Joe wants Hopkins bad, he wants redemption for Hopkins ducking him. This is the fight you might see hopkins get ko'd. I think Joe is pissed

Hopkins is shot

Hopkins is going on 43 years old,plus this thread isn't about him, so why use him as a scapegoat?
