    he was far from impressive he was fighting a shot fighter and he had to get up from the floor to win,with some of the most pathetic punches ive seen in a fight.

    There only one CALZAGHE! And there is no American fighter in sight that has a chance of beating him. Sylvester Stallone is right: American boxing is in a downward spiral.

    But hey; you just have to motivate some kids to get into the gyms - America still has great trainers (maybe Hopkins will become a trainer).

    I really enjoyed the fight and the nerves were there too. Certainly edge of your seat stuff in the 1st few rounds.
    Calzaghe went down hard in the 1st and I honestly thought that was the end of him. Replays showed it was a combiantion of a punch and a forearm (accidental). Either way Joe had to drag himself up.

    I thought Roy started the showboating and then Calzaghe just outdid him. No harm in it as they both have been known to do it.
    Some superb heavy shots in the fight by Roy while Joe landed alot more and landed nice shots to the body.

    The fight for Joe was already in the bag for Joe by the time of the cut in the 7th which was horrendous. Full credit to Roy for not quiting or giving up even though he must have sensed he was a beaten fighter.

    Joe fought a superb fight tactically and picked his punches well combining them with the flurries when needed.

    Now Please retire Joe - I can't take anymore. (Roy should get out aswell after a great final last stand from a Legend)

    listen before you start this age **** perhaps you should look a lil closer to home like chad dawson...remember 26, fighting two 39-40 year olds. at least calzaghe is really close to his opponents age.

    pathetic punches? you mean the knockdown right? cos far as we know calzaghe only man to cut jones. nice try fellas.
