One of the 'greats' letting their rocket launchers go!!!

With power like that surely he should have been the next julian jackson

 

Cheers, never seen that fight.

Jeez that guy was awful, half landed clubbing shots put him down. The last shot was a beauty though

 

Pure nuthugging by the commentators even back then. How did they say Christie didn't land a punch...... 3:34 tries showboating and gets his head rocked back pure Calzaghe comedy. Not bothering watching past the first round. Calzaghe was a truly woeful 'boxer'

****

 

this guy came in on 24 hours notice!!!

He was probably at a stag the night before and still he took the slaps LOL

 

hell yeah homie

all those comentators sky too never call the opponets shots

****s indeed:good

told not too what cronies

 

I knew this was a thread about Calzaghe from just reading the thread title and the person who started the thread

 

Yep, pretty sad.

The video cheered my mood though.

 

Unbelievably ****ing good. Everything is there, the complete fighter, just needed refining a little.

Calzaghe at that age, would have beaten Roy Jones at the same age, probably by stoppage.

The speed, accuracy, angles, workrate, reflexes and stinging power should leave any real boxing fan in awe, or even anyone who hates the sport for that matter

 

That's clear as day. At the same age, RJJ was fighting runts like Toney and Hopkins. How lucky Joe never came to town. Scary.

Gotta give Christie an "A" for effort. Joe just hits too hard .. like a bone crushing machine or something. Joe Technique.

Good post China_hand_Job.

And being taken the distance by a past prime Fermin Chirino.

It isn't even up for debate who is better. Roy Jones is one of the five best fighters in the history of the sport.

The gulf between Calzaghe and everyone else is massive. He is equal in skill to absolutely anyone, with the bonus of being able to throw twice as many punches, whilst maintaining accuracy.

 

I never knew he fought Chris Kamara.

 

That's a common statement on ESB from obviously horrible (non-) athletes. Wonder why that is?
