    Joe was a B level fighter killer and a destroyer of old men but he had incredible stamina. I honestly don't know if it was natural or from the coke and I don't mean cola but, the man had a great gas tank which was really his best attribute.
    He always got knocked down and he could be outboxed but, when it came to digging deep and having reserve energy Calzaghe was the man. He was the 168-75 Mayweather without the boxing skills, he just beat guys in the long run because he was coked out of his mind.

    One of my favourite. Incredible slickness, rythm, toughness and stamina.

    Joe in his weight class was the best even above Ward.

    All these tributes to a boxer who literally could not throw a legitimate scoring punch. He SLAPPED like a schoolgirl. Was very very over rated. Got a gift against B Hop & also got decked by a shot Jones jr

    The man that had it all.

    Chin, speed, stamina, footwork, power, defence.

    46-0 there is no blueprint.

    The only man that would of stood any chance of beating GGG
