    I think - he was a hard nosed ******* - like a army drill sergant.

    Big on fitness , etc

    But what he lacked in was professionalism - and class -

    So things like nutrition - he probaly never gave a **** about his fighters nutrtion he wasnt professional enough to care

    Enzos moobs - were probaly down to **** nutrtion - hot dogs - pizzas - chips

    Bradely Price - and Gavin Rees would go for a few pints down the pub after training

    Enzo Calzaghe went far in boxing because he was so ignorant - he wasnt daunted by anything

    They done no skipping at his gym

    **** sparring - or sometimes no sparring for big fights :-(

    And eat whatever junk you want

    No question he deserved trainer of the year when he got it. He had a phenomenal year. I think his legacy will be Joe Calzaghe and not much else though and so can't be regarded as a great trainer

    Do you you actually like any British person who's involved in boxing?, because you only ever seem to criticise.

    I only really criticize the Calzaghe's. Can't think of anyone else who I constantly criticize. And for the umphteen time, nationality should play no concept in whether you like a boxer or not.

    Professionally - Not really my cup of tea, and not particularly fond of the way he did things, in several aspects as a trainer.

    Personally - I've always found him very pleasant and very sincere. Don't have a bad word to say about him as a person. Bit of a nutter, but he has a heart of gold too.


    I've not always agreed with a lot of the hype that surrounded the Calzaghe stable, but there's no doubt he played a big part in bringing attention, controversy, and many memories to boxing in Wales.
    Thanks for your contributions to the sport Enzo. I wish you well in retirement and all the very best in your future endeavours.

    I agree, i was only asking the question. I must have missed the threads in which you actually respected a British person who's involved in boxing.



























    Just Kidding:good:p

    :lol:

    :good Nah you got me wrong pal, I love loads of british fighters, I just probably go overboard with the ones I don't like :lol:

    And even though I dont like Calzaghe I ALWAYS respect him, not just for what he achieved but I respect any single person who steps through those ropes AM/PRO :good
