Calzaghe vs Triple G

I mean, you must be aware that joe only fought those last 2 big fights when he was absolutely necessary to do so, and he held all the cards with his own ref in Cardiff ready to carry him back to his corner if he got knocked down, or order a tko stoppage win for joe in case he was getting beaten up. That's why they are at the end of his career.



otherwise he'd never have done so, and only did so when Kessler was injured AND with joe's bent judges and ref to help him in case it went wrong and he needed another fake tko.

he had no choice but to face Kessler there and then, he'd waited ten years for the wba/wbc champ(s) to turn up crummy or injured.

and once the fight was over he ran from the defences of those titles. ran like wildfire. he was freaking pretrified of a rematch with uninjured Kessler in Denmark.
