    There must be two Joe Calzaghe's There's one that these clowns keep calling Sir Joe & Super Joe Ive never seen him.
    Then you got Slappy Joe Calzaghe who cannot ever throw a legitimate scoring punch to save his life. Slappy the Sniffer lol

    Charles, was the light Heavyweight Champion of the world when

    there was only one belt. In the late forties and early fifties, there

    was a Gym on every street corner. There was a breadth and

    depth of skills, that were taught and rehe****d in very Gym

    worth its salt. The nuances of boxing, things like bobbing,

    weaving, and footwork were honed and instilled. There was also

    a plethora of old school trainers who lived and breathed

    technique; the science of boxing. You had to fight through a trail

    of tough hungry, fighters to even get a shot. if you were black,

    you had to be otherworldly to even be considered for a shot.

    Ezzard, fought the great Rocky Marciano, twice and dispatched

    fighters like Moore, and Burley. Please, I understand Joe

    was a very good Champion, but back in the fifties there were no

    fictitious 168 pound titles, let alone 3 or 4 versions of it. So

    please, think before you write.

    Ezzard Charles is a legend. One of the 10 best fighters P4P ever.

    Ezzard by very comfortable UD15.

    No offense to Calzaghe who's a great fighter, but Charles would school him. At his best Charles was like a perfectionist in the ring.

    Some forget that he repeatedly withdrew from facing Glencoffe Johnson, citing injury, only to immediately sign for a fight the minute that Johnson was like **** it, and moved on.

    joe would wait till ezard gets old and has lou gehrigs disease and then suddenly is cured of his fear of flying and calls out charles, hitting on the crippled former boxer while posing and pretendin to shag him from behind in that way that he ACTUALLY DOES in REAL LIFE, class act that he is.
