Calzaghe: BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2007!

A well deserved win, making up for last year

 

I am extremeley happy for Enzo and Joe.

I liked the answer Joe gave to the "how have you stayed at the top for so long" question:

"I'm just boring I guess... I just box"

 

Don't tell me my £3,500 phone bill was a waste of money.

 

Bit of a landslide in the end! I think those 4 extra phones with multi-redial worked China_hand_Joe!

christine ohorugu only got 4 thouand odd votes. atsch

she deserved to be higher than andy murray.

murray's progress has been a shade disappointing this year.

 

It just goes to show that more and more of the Scotch are getting round to installing telephones.

 

Bell - but that was analogue - you could only vote using touch tone.

 

:rofl :rofl
i'm happy to see the great man get his long deserved accolades CHJ. how such a great fighter receives less press than jokes like fraudley is perplexing. joe's deserving of the big paydays about to come his way.

 

This is a victory for everyone involved in boxing. The image of the sport we love is making all the right headlines again... Hatton's amazing army of fans, the amount of title holders we have and now this with Joe & Enzo. Beautiful night.

Let Khan and the likes of Audley have their column inches - Calzaghe has achieved this award through nothing but his boxing: no gimmicks, no story that captured the nations attention, no clever PR, this award is testament to his sporting skill - and it's about f*cking time!

 

I do feel a little sorry for Witter though. He constantly has to sit there and hear his peers talking about the other champions without mentioning him.

 

For once our country votes for a winner, too many galiant losers have won it over the years. Long overdue!
