    Sorry to here about the after effects of boxing. Joe was one of my favourite boxers. An absolute talent with a phenomenal work rate. Unfortunately the wear and tear over many years catches up with you eventually. Joe retired at the right time and finished undefeated with nothing more to prove.

      I was never a huge Calzaghe fan but he's got a big collection of great wins and he basically threw 1000 punches per fight. Wish him and his fam the best.

      They've got good drugs these days for the aches and pains of a rich fella like him.

        Someone posted a Mayweather interview and he sure was pausing a lot while he spoke. Maybe those Madaina clubbing punches to the side of the head had it's effects

          That's easy for you to say while sitting behind a keyboard, fool.

            I feel bad for him. I'm not even a Calzaghe fan at all, but he gave a lot of himself to the sport.

            It shows you, that a fighter may be undefeated and retire as a champion, but it doesn't mean he never lost.

              Yeah it has nothing to do with all the *******. What an ass hole. Jocaine Calzaghe is nothing but a Vulture who feasted on the corpses of a few big named fighters then ran off with his little "0" like a bigger version of Fraud Pedcheater Jr. Piss off, Joke Alzaghe.

                The man is a straight up warrior. He's the toughest fighter that I have ever seen. Calzaghe is without a doubt the greatest fighter since Ray Robinson. He was never knocked down or even close to being defeated.

                    Right. Even though his last few fights lasted only a round or two.

                      what happened now? just because he had a belt does not mean his fights were at the world class level. he was fighting nobodies for almost his entire career.
