The correct decision in my opinion. Congrats on a great career Joe, you are Britian's finest post war boxer and will go down a legend.
Heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano with 49 wins in 49 fights and strawweight and light-flyweight Ricardo Lopez of Mexico, with 51 wins in 51 fights also retired undefeated. .......Incorrect... BBC you fail.
I don't need to.... Rosendo Alvarez drew with Lopez.... That was my point... the first paragraph was from the website.
Good riddance. Im glad boxing has finally seen the back of him. History will forget him equally as fast. The only thing that ever mattered to Joe was his precious 0 and the WBO. One of boxings finest opportunist who when all was said and done had to the audacity to proclaim boxing is a "dying sport".
top fighter well done joe! just looking at his record scored a lot of early stoppeges early in his career underated power? not seen many of his early fights
He failed to give hopkins the rematch he deserved because he knew that the old man had figured him out and wouldbeat him twice. Yes,twice! Twice because Hopkins won the first fight and took Joe's 0. Like Scurla said, History won't look back on Calzaghe too well and there will always be question marks over his career.
He'll be the perfect example of how being undefeated doesn't mean a thing - provided anyone remembers him in 10 years.
Christ he looks fat in the face there. Looks like he made this decision a while ago. And at the BBC poll.
