    Calzaghe still unbeatean!

    Calzaghe won his court case against Frank Warren!

    Former 168 and 175-pound world champion boxer Joe Calzaghe has won a court case over his former promoter Frank Warren, being awarded £2 million in unpaid fees. While acknowledging money was owed to Calzaghe,
    Warren pointed out that Calzaghe’s “exaggerated and fanciful” claim was reduced by £1.5 million and Sport Network plans to appeal. He also stated, “I am of course extremely disappointed that the Judge did not go further in accepting we had an agreement with Joe to promote his last fights. This is especially so as the Judge criticized Joe and his lawyer. The Judge found that Joe ‘chose to tell deliberate lies’ to the Court (paragraph 138 of the Judgment), and that his ‘evidence was also unsatisfactory in many respects.’

    No kidding, Joe's been lying about his career and who he's "wanted" to fight for over a decade. Frank Warren helped him build the biggest lie in boxing and now he's surprised. Talk about the student schooling the teacher. Serves you right Frank. You single handedly set boxing back 25 years with this guy. You should have served him up to Jones in 99 so we could have forgotten about this chump along time ago!

    Wow, tough on Joe. Can't say I disagree though.

      Yeah, but Warren wasn't in his prime, a few years ago, this could have gone either way.

        You know what, I would love it if someone could just ask frank the truth about Joe and who he wanted to fight, I'd like to hear his opinion on whether he thinks Joe was protected or not.

          There was an article that came out months ago when Warren and Calzaghe broke their ties. It has all these quotes from Warren saying Calzaghe would always pull out of fights etc. It seemed pretty truthful but you never know.

            Link please.

            There was that Glen Johnson thing too, where apparently he agreed to move up to 170- 175 then he pulled out of that one (through injury) and fought someone else.

            But yeah, If you can put a link up if you have time, that would be cool.

                Yea, but his word is worth more than some of the calzaghe marks acting like his lawyer.

                  Really, cause his ex-wife and the **** she got out of the marriage says otherwise.
