    The correct pronounciation of "Calzaghe"

    Just so you know, "calslappy" doesn't really rhyme with his last name. It is correctly pronounced "Cal-tzageh", not "Cal-zagee"! There you go.

    its a pretty safe bet to always go with how the actual person themself says there own last name. pretty sure CAL ZACKIE like jim lampley says isnt it.

          Not really, but the last letter is pronounced the same way. More or less.

            The Italian way would be "Cal-zahg-he".

              I call him Calslappy but I like the dude, I always have. I have most of his fights and many of his amateur fights too. He is the hardest slapper in the business. Just ask Kessler

                Exactly.

                It ain't "Cal-tzageh". That's just ******. However, that's better than "Calzarji" like some have announced his name in early fights.

                    Only envious Americans call that slapping.
