Calzaghe compiled an amateur record of 110 wins and 10 losses. Great Record. Calzaghe lost this fight http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YUtLDXdHqXQ
he would have gotten his ass whooped if he ever went to the olympics, some cuban would have spank that ass and you all know it.
****! The video is a bit grainy so i can't see quite properly, but is Joe sporting a mullet there? I thought Joe only lost one fight ever?
Calzaghe definitly lost a lot more than once as amatuer, theres a video where he Admits he lost quite a few times as a amatuer.
Gamboa was NOT top of the line in Cuba, just a fighter with some decent skills. And in order to consider Gamboa as an overrated fighter you have to wait and expect for him to get KO'd, otherwise you're talking nonsense. Anyway, I don't think Cubans are overrated in the amateur world, right?
forget the loss look at the hair! Also Calzaghe doesn't throw his trade mark windmill punches and I have to say that was far more entertaining than the amatuer bouts of today with the electronic scoring.
Right, because he beat the 1992 MW-olympian silver medalist Chris Byrd by knockout shortly after the games. HOW STUPID ARE YOU??? Calzaghe would've been be very likely a gold medal-contender.
Cubans only perform well in the amateurs. But once they get to the pro's they don't last to long. Their amateur style shows along with the sloppy mistakes and worthless point punches. That won't do anything in a 8+ rounds fight. Gamboa will be no exception to this. The first time they put him in with someone good, he will get knocked out.
