      yeah i agree but the born in London bit means nothing..he is Welsh and as for taking an honour off the Queen, he was a traitor to do so. Even the English dont like the Queen lol.

        Joe Calzaghe is a traitor to the British people because he took an honour off the Queen?

        What is wrong with you?

        I have fought in Afghanistan against the Taleban alongside great Welsh men and great English men and all have pledge allegiance to the Crown. Are they traitors???

                Having beaten every single great fighter in the SMW division over the last decade and then having beaten Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr. there is nothing left for Calzaghe to do.

                He is 37.

                As we saw with greats such as Muhammad Ali and Oscar De La Hoya, it is possible to fight for too long.

                  Ricky Hatton has achieved mor in boxing than Joe will ever do. Not only that but he has gone after the best when they were at their peaks. If he beats pacman then he becomes the greatest ever British boxer
                  Joe is HOF'er though

                    I like him as a person because he is a great guy who does lots for charity (and he was born in London, which is where I was born) and I was impressed to see him beating young World Champions such as Jeff Lacy and Kessler when he was an old man (35).

                    However, I feel that his promoter has maybe protected him too much just to keep that amazing unbeaten record going.
                    He's complete and utter garbage. Not a very good boxer. Has beat 2 never tested young CONTENDERS in Lacy and Kessler (Lacy was just Whooped by Taylor and Kessler, well, he's still in Denmark), 2 HOF when they were 40 and in 10 years he has beaten nothing but those and bums. Never was p4p #1 fighter of the world and he applied to the HOF and failed.
