    Today ATG Joe Calzaghe turns 42

    Happy Birthday champ!

    Joe is a legend and one of the best boxers to ever live,it was an honor just to watch him fight.

    My favorite Joey Zags moment was when he put a beating on Jeff Lacy.

    Calzaghe was a great! That Kessler fight is still a classic.

        It really was a great fight.

        Joe beat Mikkel at his absolute best as well.

          Nah. Kessler couldn't spar or do bagwork for the fight because of a broken hand.

          He had it surgically repaired afterwards.

          Great fight though.

            Had that fight continued,Manfredo could have seriously been hurt.

              Legend? Nah. Legends dare to be great when it counts.

              HOF'er? Certainly. He had that title for a while.

                That was his best win. No arguing that.

                  Worst. Stoppage. Ever.

                  Joe landed nothing.

                  Pitiful.

                    The best super middleweight of all time and one of the most skilled fighters I have seen live. He was quick, had a great chin, exceptional stamina and pin point punch accuracy. I can't see too many fighters in the last 50 years beating him in and around that division.
