    Facts just are

    He really did not throw proper pucnhes most of the time it was really bad to watch. And more important(?) he never dared to be great. The way he played out his career. He did not want to fight the best, be the best.

    Joe Calzaghe did not want to prove he was the best and that is what really matters.:deal

    He is barelly any better than Sven Ottke.

    it doesn't make me laugh, it just makes me wonder, how did he knock anyone out? have you seen some of his stoppages? they're plain stupid. his punching style was clearly effective but very suspect and lame to me.

    That was the funniest video I've seen in quite some time, thanks for the upload!

    What I find most hilarious is over half of those fighters in the video looked perplexed as to the quick stoppages awarded for calzaghe. He was a high volume puncher who looked like he annoyed his opposition with his frequency of punches, but didn't actually hurt too many of them on a power level.

    Still he has some pretty good wins on his resume in the latter part of his career. WOuld've been interesting to see what his record would've looked like had he actually fought top tier guys when he was at his prime.

    Calzaghe is one of the greatest volume punchers of all time... Underrated here in the states that for sure. Solid resume, beat some greats and a few ATG's... will get into the HOF easily.

    lololol

    I'm pretty sure the judges were paid off in drink tickets and pizza for that farce.

    Calzaghe showboating was pretty hilarious, though. I imagine he just recycles the dance moves he uses at various Welsh weddings and puts them to use in-ring.

    Yea it makes me laugh. His puncing form, or should I say slapping form is hysterical. He looks like a ****in broad trying to scratch up an ex boyfriend.

    Calzaghe is just overrated.
