    I saw him at a WSB match last year. It was in the ballroom of a swanky hotel & he was the only man in the house wearing a baseball cap

    Not one of the crazy chavs from Barry in the crowd were wearing one but Joe did. Zero class :-(

    So all of a sudden Joe was an ATG because he beat and old man who still had a few fights left? Maybe we should call Tommy Morrison an ATG because he beat Foreman.

    Joe Calslappy? HAHAHAHA LOL!

    Joe Calzaghe: The Movie on January 22, 2009

    Calzaghe hid at 168, His stay was simple. Hopkins was below. Roy Jones was above. And he didn't fancy getting involved with either. You're 35 and your biggest fight is Jeff Lacy. That's got to suck. "I know, Hopkins is 43 and past his best, and Jones is shot, why not fight them now?"

    Hopkins at 43, nearly beats a primed Calzaghe. Screw that, he probably did beat him. What on earth would he have done as p4p No. 1 in his late 30s?
