Enzo Calzaghe, what a twat!!

Interview with Enzo, taken from a British tabloid, parts of this are hilarious, which I've highlighted

JOE CALZAGHE is a real fighting machine — the equivalent of Robobop.
The unbeaten world champ has been precision-made from body parts ‘stolen’ from the world’s greatest boxers.
He is part Muhammad Ali, part Marvin Hagler and part Sugar Ray Leonard — three legends who dad and trainer Enzo Calzaghe admits he is obsessed with.
That potent mix, combined with Calzaghe’s spite in the ring, has created a boxer who has not tasted defeat since the 1990 European Junior Championships.
For the last 18 years Calzaghe Snr has been drilling into his son the need for speed, the necessity to jab and the sureness of attack.
It is a formula that leaves Calzaghe unbeaten as a pro going into Saturday’s light-heavyweight battle against Bernard Hopkins in Las Vegas.
Calzaghe Snr revealed: “I have been fascinated all my life with three boxers — Ali, Hagler and Leonard.
“Leonard was the original speed merchant. He would throw punches in bunches and Joe throws as many punches as anyone I’ve seen.
“It’s the jab of Ali that was so effective and it’s the same with Joe.
“Joe demonstrated how good his jab is when he fought Evans Ashira. He broke his left hand in the third and had to box the next nine using just his jab.
“It was a stunning performance. He won a unanimous decision using just his jab.
“It’s an Ali-type jab. It’s like the piston in an engine when it’s running, it just keeps moving.
“Hagler was an attacking southpaw, he used the counter punch fantastically well.
“Hagler is the only one with a southpaw stance I’ve seen attack with such effectiveness.” What great fighters have in common is not only ambition and skill but a ruthlessness.
Calzaghe Snr added: “Joe has that bit of nastiness you need when an opponent is hurt.
“You can call it complete coldness in the ring.”
As an example, Enzo recalled the 2003 bout when Byron Mitchell was floored for the first time in his career in the second.
Enzo said: “He had never received a count until then, let alone been knocked down.



“I had never seen Joe react like he did. He ignited. He started firing like a madman.
“I was not happy with what he was doing but Joe wanted a war and he gave Mitchell one, stopping him in that same round.”
Calzaghe’s 44-fight unbeaten record has silenced the critics of his old man, who was branded a bucket carrier trading off his son’s talent.
It even led to reports of them splitting in 1999 but Enzo has just been voted Trainer of the Year.
He said: “People called me a clown, the bucket man, that I didn’t know what I was doing, that it was only Joe’s gift that got him to be world champion.
“I didn’t give a f*** what anybody said because I knew in my heart, I had a gift.”
Hopkins has stepped up the war of words with Calzaghe by labelling him a bottler.
The American says Calzaghe should have fought him in the boxing capital of the world at least three years ago — but chickened out.
He blasted: “I’m a Hall of Famer. In Europe Calzaghe is probably a god, but he is not a Ricky Hatton.
“Hatton showed balls by coming over here and fighting. Joe had the opportunity to fight me three years or so ago.
“He is not voluntarily coming here. He signed a three-fight contract with HBO and guess where the third fight had to be, the United States.”

:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl Oh **** how big a moron is Enzo Calzaghe?
