    Throwback to when Calzaghe conquered the US

    Just finished watching the Jones Jr & Hopkins fights again.. boy did Calzaghe raise some hell over there.

    Straight up humiluated 'the next big thing' Jeff Lacy over the in the UK then went and invaded the US and took out their two top boxers in their own back yards.

    Ward should count himself lucky Calzaghe isn't still active tbh.

        Calzaghe was the real deal, pretty much unbeatable at super middle . One of the most underrated fighters of all time

                Let's hope you're just joking.

                  No matter what anyone says of him, he's my favorite fighter to watch and I go back and re-watch old fights of his more than anyone else's.

                    Jones and Hopkins were old but he obliterated Lacy. The same people who kept calling Calzaghe a coward, screaming for him to fight Lacy, that he was ducking him, were the same people who gave him virtually no credit for beating him so badly. In 2005-2006, Calzaghe had a ton of detractors in NSB.

                    On another note, that fight should've been stopped by Lacy's corner at some point. There was no reason for him to keep getting pounded on.
