    Joe C was the man one of the best of his era. I wish he didn't retire when he did he had atleast a good two fighst left in him.

    It can't just be to skill alone though. According to the definition that was recited to me by many of the British posters here Calzaghe should never have been popular with the British fight fans simply because of his unappealing style.

    The Lacy fight was what many consider a very dull and one-sided 12 round beatdown that can hardly be called competitive nor exciting.

    I just don't get it: Why wasn't Calzaghe throughout his entire career regarded as a boring and downright dull fighter by the British? What was it that made Calzaghe popular in the UK -- other than his citizenship?

    Going into his first title shot vs Eubank he was 22(21)-0. Ten of those knockouts came in the first round.

    People tend to like you when you knock mother****ers out.

    Zaggers was the man. Blinding hand-speed. Could punch in his early days, and even with Glass Hands he still clowned fighters and made them look like amateurs.:happy:happy:happy

    Me too. Haters can hate, and who knows how he might have done if he got in on the Jones-Hopkins-Toney cycle back whne they could fight, but he always came to fight and gave every indication by his eleventh hour victories that he would have been competetive.
