Joe Calzaghe turns 36 today

[The Hammer]

his (Reid's) training for Lacy was shadow boxing next to a swimming pool

Oh come now, shadow boxing next to a swimming pool? How do you really know?

No, he would have done whatever he had to to prepare for the world title fight with Lacy. Reid wasn't shot at that point, although he may have been after the beating he took from Jeff.

He looked awful in the fight prior to the Lacy fight, and indeed often awful between the Calzaghe and shot Ottke fights, and indeed awful against a 40-year-old Malinga

The only decent win of his career, if you do count the Calzaghe and shot Ottke losses as losses, was against a weight-drained, broken-nosed Henry Wharton, though admittedly everyone thought Wharton would steamroll him. I knew he'd beat joker Nardiello, though, though nobody else did, because he was flat-footed and strong enough to walk through that wingers ***** slaps and cause him to **** about

Since you say Reid was shot after the Calzaghe fight, then maybe Calzaghe's hard lefts may have had something to do with it? But since you're a Calzaghe hater, you would never agree to anything like that.

But it was actually the Lacy fight that he never completely recovered from.

I'm saying Ottke was shot when he fought Reid, son.

Hmmm, you said Reid looked "awful" between the Calzaghe and Ottke fights. It seemed you meant he was shot by that time.

Reid actually looked good against McGee, but hasn't since the beating he took from Lacy, remember he quit on his stool.

Anyway, Happy Birthday to Joe, and I hope he adds a few more wins to his 44 and he retires undefeated like Rocky Marciano!

Why do you hate Joe? Do you have something against Welsh people?

Yeah he does.

He claims to be a fan of Joe but he rides Froch at every chance he gets and always puts Joe down.

Orange Sneakers has predicted Joe to lose every fight he's had since he beat Eubank.
