How many fake/misleading Calzaghe stories are out there?

his amateur record is listed now as 110-10. it was said that he defeated chris byrd as an amateur but this has been proven false. another site (link below) list calzaghe as 117-1 as an amateur and in the fight he lost, the opponent's dad was the ref. bull**** again. the links from his website are also misleading. they say he was the longest reigning title holder ever in the modern era. never mind that the wbo wasn't even a recognized title when he won it and then also forget the fact that joe louis fought in what is considered the modern era. it's effing comical what has been written in these pages. joe was an excellent fighter but let's have some honesty when talking about his career.

Early Years & Amateur Career
Joe's father and trainer Enzo was born in Sardinia but spent many years living in England. When Calzaghe was two years old the family moved to South Wales, from where Calzaghe's mother hailed.

Calzaghe has claimed that he was bullied at school, and, although he showed promise as a footballer, he began boxing with encouragement from his father at Newbridge Boxing Club at the age of ten.

He continued boxing while attending Oakdale Comprehensive School, near his home town of Newbridge, between 1983 and 1988, winning three British Schoolboy titles.

Between 1991 and 1993 Calzaghe received acclaim for winnning three consecutive British ABA titles at three sepearate weight classes; welterweight, light middleweight and middleweight.

He became only the second boxer in history to win three successive ABA Titles in three different divisions, the first being Fred Webster in 1926-1928 who acheieved his hat-trick by winnning at bantamweight, featherweight and lightweight. Only one boxer took Calzaghe to the full nine minutes of a bout during this time.

In the one and only loss in 117 bouts at amateur, his opponent's father was the referee.

Calzaghe will be remembered, also, for the special relationship with his father Enzo who, despite no boxing background, kept Joe unbeaten as amateur and professional.

 

so you're good with the truth not being told in stories?

 

yeah but that was right after floyd sr got shot. i'd believe that a 14 yr old calzaghe would have given floyd sr trouble more than i'd believe that roger used the work "remarkable."
