    Ignore the dumb yank comments.

      Joe Clazaghe is a terrible fighter in my opinion. He avoided fighting anyone good for 95% of his career. Ducked and dodged and padded his record. Slaps and jumps around like nobodies business. Fights to old fighters and pretends that's a good way to end his career. Talk about sending the wrong message to a whole generation of young fans. Talk about spitting in the face of the warrior spirit. That is Calzaghe in a nutshell. In 50 years time we will have prizefighters who try to slap each other silly, everybody will be a winner and there will be no hitting in the face. God help us all!

          Devoting your entire sig to hating on one fighter shows that you aren't a boxing fan. You define yourself by who you hate rather than by who you admire. Pathetic, really.

            Bernard Hopkins went on to beat America's latest sweetheart and undefeated champion in Kelly Pavlik thus proving he is still world class and worthy of his top 5 pound for pound status

            Would a terrible fighter really have beaten him, or even given him such a close fight?

            That's one example

            Sorry, but if you think Calzaghe is "terrible" you're an idiot, straight up

              alright, he's the greatest british fighter there is in this generation... happy???

              Also, Hopkins makes everyone he ever fought look bad. And Jones is also a counter-puncher. Calzaghe looks far better against offensive fighters, rather than counter-punchers. He looked far better against Kessler, Lacy, Mitchell, Eubanks and Brewer, for example.
              true, styles make fights, but calz imho should have been able to beat hopkins more convincingly and at least KO rjj.

              maybe that's why he's ducking dawson because calz won't look good fighting him

                  The fight between him and jones might aswell have been stopped in round 4 it was so one sided
