Joe Calzaghe - A True Ring Great

[tredh]

Put it like this. I was listening to sports talk 980 yesterday. The news guy is going through highlights of the day and mentions that super middleweight Joe Calzaghe retired today. The host of the show cut him off and was like "isn't that the guy who came into the ring smoking a cigarette." So if Joe thinks he has done enough in his career and is a ATG he needs to think again. Because in no way shape form or fashion should he get mixed up with a person thinking he is Carlos Mayorga. Yeah Joe you surely will be remembered!!!!!!!! LMAO:wt:

At the very least Joe Calzaghe is the best Super Middleweight to ever hold the title . Places in all time great lists are always contraversial but I believe he's should be on anyone's list.

despite its relatively young age this is irrefutable

Joe Calzaghe was a great fighter. He was always underrated because of not being an American and because he is white, and he proved his critics wrong time after time.

I am from the lovely, crime-free, sunny land of Merseyside, England. I always assumed Tunney was an American. It would be kinda hard to be the same person. Have you been watching The Matrix again?

46-0. No Ordinary Joe

He was out of the ordinary in his unique style, out of the ordinary in his accomplishments and talents, and out of the ordinary in the way he has left the sport; undefeated, a champion and apparently content and ready to move on to a new phase of his life after dedicating the vast majority of his 37 years to the sport.

Joe's tremendous hand speed and conditioning, combined with an intense will to win and a higher gear that few would have been able to match, served him well over the years. Though never heavy handed, his was strictly a numbers game.

While he lacked the punch to immediately put away his foe, many a man withered under his endless barrage of punches; tossed from every imaginable angle. To fight Joe Calzaghe must have been like standing in the ocean and facing down the oncoming tide.
