After having just watched Calzaghe fight...

[kayjay]

Calzaghe was VERY unimpressive in the Salem, Veit, Ashira, Bika, Manfredo and Kessler fights. But against Jeff Lacy - albeit Jeff Lacy, who walked into the MEN Arena holding his girlfriend's hand - he showed off his speed punching and combination ability and natural talent on the backfoot, as Lacy - very visibly tight around the shoulders at the weigh-in - jumped in head-first all night.

His claim to fame is still knocking down Eubank in 15 seconds with a shot that Chris didn't see coming.

That's not his "claim to fame." And he was hardly unimpressive against Kessler. You yourself once posted a thread "Joe Calzaghe boxing excellently against Mario Veit," so you can't now say it was unimpressive either

Joe was unimpressive against Bika,Salem and Ashira for sure.

You can't put Manfredo on there. Joe tossed him around like a cheap suit. The only bad point was that the ****** ref didn't let us see the next few rounds which would have been ****ing hilarious.

Calzage reppin the british - BRAP BRAP !

Ye, he's a fighter with alot of talent

[blacksky]

JC is a near complete fighter. great chin, great workrate, can box in many different style and is exciting to watch.

no offence to Hatton but against the top guys has looked weak.

at 147, he has too many physical limitations. Its a shame he left Warren. I reckon he'd have got Cotto and beaten him at 140. Like **** would he have fought Collazo either.

[blacksky]

yeah that Collazo move was ******. I agree with you, Warren gets a bad rep but he would still be undefeated right now, his style just doesn`t transfer across weights.

This has to be a bait thread, you can't watch Cal fight and think he has no talent. He is one of the best fighters on this earth and no bull**** bait thread can change that fact.

No he wouldn't be undefeated because eventually he would have STILL faced Floyd and he would have STILL lost. You guys act like he has lost 2 or 3 fights by the way you are speaking.

yep he would have. But I think would have been matched better. Warren would have got the ill looking Cotto at 140. He might have even got Mayweather in a stadium over here like Wembley. He's a clever guy that Warren.

Had he stayed with Warren he may not have gone to 147, that is my point, thus no floyd fight.
