    I knew he was undefeated for a while as an amateur and I don't know how many amateur fights he had in that time but this was a little surprise, jeez the man knows how to win. I think Calzaghe will do it this weekend but I'm getting more nervous the closer we get and I'm not the only one, as a brit I'm hoping he does it but all credit to Jones if he pulls this off, I would really admire that victory. Here's the interesting article I just read anyway from Sky Sports, Glen McCorey's blog and he is getting majorley concerned about Joe! http://www.skysports.com/blogs/blog_story/0,19793,13275_4457862,00.html

    Joe Calzaghe and I have a lot in common. I too have NEVER tasted defeat in a professional boxing ring.

    This would require you to actually step into the ring in a fight. :patsch

    Calzaghe clearly knows what it means to be a winner and is strong mentally.

    Rightcross, been seeing your posts all night and I have to say that they are unbiased, intelligent and refreshing.

    I hope you enjoy the fight on Saturday night.

    Yeah, it was 18.

    From the Daily Telegraph.co.uk:

    Michael Smyth – 1990: This was Calzaghe's last defeat, when he boxed at the 1990 Welsh ABA final. Welsh power-plant worker Smyth was fearless and had too much power on the day. Calzaghe obviously despised the experience and made a vow to never be beaten again.
