Joe Calzaghe Media Interview Transcript

[RichCCFC]

Yeah I saw that, I'm not gonna make a deal about it though. Haye's power is the equaliser to everyone in the Cruiserweight division no matter what.

[Feint]

Interviewer: "How do you explain Bernard Hopkins' mastery of southpaw fighters? Without maybe divulging your particular strategy, how do you explain how this guy tends to be so good against southpaw fighters?"

Joe Calzaghe: "How many southpaws has he boxed?"

Interviewer: "I think he's boxed at least – I'm thinking about 10, 11 of them, yeah."

Joe Calzaghe: "Well I think I boxed 37 right-handers."

LMAO!!

Yeah, that was a pretty good response.

This is "an interview and a half". I had to stop in the middle, just to comment on the way the interview has been taken down. It must have been transcribed from a tape. I particularly like Joe's comment about
"the straightened arrow". Of course he actually must have said "the straight and narrow" (road). Now having got that out, I'll get back to the article. Great interview.

YEP- it definitely had to be from a tape, with some difficulty hearing. There are so many little gems, but here's just one, in the last few lines. "dogs are bad; don't bite"... I'm sure it was suppsed to be "dogs that bark dont bite", in fact the following sentence confirms this. Great interview !!

Did I already say this??

Just think what Lennox Lewis would have made of the interview if he were transcribing.

he dumby the only reason he asked the question is cause there are very few soutpaw fighter. that means a least chance to be prepared for them. everybody fight orthodox fighters

[rbenjamin]

Hopkins frustrated Calzaghe not taking any of his chintzy head games. Calzaghe was quiet and confident the same way going into Lacy and we know what happened there. Hopkins go back to losing to Taylor who got dominated by Pavlik. Calzaghe will dominate him
