    Calzaghe never lost to an Englishman .
    {116-111 on two scorecard in Calzaghe's favour and a busted hand in the fourth, and glass in his food and drink before the fight, and away from home}

    Come to think of it he never lost to a German or a Yank either, he did lose to another Welshman in the amateurs though.

    Super, super Joe
    Super, super Joe
    Super, super Joe
    Super Joe Calzaghe.

    Hopkins said he'd never lose to a white man. and he got slapped from pillar to post. Deal with it black people

    Hopkins is much better than Calzaghe, who only fought vagrants and the elderly.

    Hopkins






























    Calzaghe


    Calzaghe fought:
    1) bums
    2) greats fighters that were 150 000 years old at the time of their bout
    3) in the British Isles for 90% of his career (hometown decisions)


    Not exactly a ATG is it?

    Probably because he was both. Too much for Joe C.


    He fought only bums and olf men though.

    It seems to me, when looking at Joe Calzaghe's career, that he has only beaten two types of opponents:

    1) Bums

    2) Old Men
