    Calzaghe: Best British Fighter of My Time, Says Warren

    Promoter Frank Warren is not holding a grudge against Joe Calzaghe. Warren promoted Calzaghe for over a decade until the two had a bad falling out in 2008. Despite their legal battle, Warren says Calzaghe is the best British fighter that he ever saw - better than Lennox Lewis or Ricky Hatton. Calzaghe announced his retirement last week, but Warren predicts a return is still very possible. [details]

      "The sky is blue".

      Do I get some credit now? Or was that too ****in' obvious to make a difference at any level?

      I go with the latter.

          Jones and Hopkins were past their primes. Kessler was undefeated and in his prime.

              Jones and Hopkins were past there primes, yet they are his most reputed, recognizable wins. He went out on those two wins as if he'd climbed some inconquerable mountain. Bull****...

                    Fairley classy comments for once from Warren. Can't really argue with what he's said. Don't know how long it'll last or what might be behind it. Well got a few ideas, but overall a nice few quotes of respect there.
