Joe Calzaghe

[Chip2006uk]

Excuse me? Bhop not an a level fighter? Record number mw defenses, top 5 mw ever, lineal champ at 175. Do I need to rattle off the rest of the resume? What are you talking about he never fought an a fighter? If bhop isnt an a fighter you name me an a fighter.

Dont forget Kessler either, kessler is definately an A level fighter just unfortunate that he has trouble with his manager

[Vivid Intent]

Calzaghe was an exceptionally talented fighter and very well respected by knowledgable people in the sport.

[Chip2006uk]

The only gripe I have with Calzaghe (even though hes my fave fighter) is why he fought Manfredo Jr? Such a pointless fight imo, gained nothing from it and it was pretty much worthless in my eyes

[D-MiZe]

Manfredo Jr was P4P #1 at the time.

[Chip2006uk]

The only way Manfredo would ever get into the p4p rankings is if he had a sex change and started fighting in womens boxing.

I thought he lost the Robin Reid fight, personally.

You're probably the only person in the world who thinks that.

I'm was Ried fan not a Calzaghe fan that night and I thought Calzaghe won easy, as did Robin post fight.

Beat Glen Johnson..........Dawson........Hopkins again.....Froch.

Now were talking.....

But he quit.....

Floyd came back to add to his legacy.........

Glann Johnson ****** at 168, Dawson is nothing special, I would never want to see another borefest like Calzaghe Vs Hopkins I and as for Froch he came along to late to get a fight

Unlike PBF Calzaghe retired half a decade after his Prime was over he was 37 for christ sake not 30.
