    :hi:

    Today is Joe Calzaghe's 36th birthday.

    Joe is clearly one of the top five P4P fighters in the world, and one of the best five fighters of the past decade.

    I invite people to make only positive comments about him in this thread. :bbb

    ABSOLUTLEY IN NOW WAY OR SHAPE IS CALZAGHE one of the 5 greatest fighters this decade.

    HE HAS NOT 1 HOF on his record, he has never beaten a P4P fighter, he has defended his bogus WBO title numerous times, preferring it to the legitamate titles.

    THE CLOSEST YOU GET TO CALZAGHE IS DARIUZ MICHELZEWSKI. BOTH HOME TOWN dudes.

    We'll see when he goes to the states and does the job on Hopkins! That'll change everything you just said!

    Hes your typical Frank Warren fighter.

    Ok we heard you the first time, he's beaten everyone that was there for hm to beat including current world champs, previous world champs and a lot of guys considered to be the mutts nuts but because he done a job on them (i.e. Omar Sheika) they never turned out to be anything.

    Calzaghe is going to totally outwork, befuddle and bemuse Hopkins, and when he does I am going to point and laugh at CantRegister.

    Calzaghe maybe should fight another young boxer. Calzaghe should fight Jermaine Taylor to prove that he could defeat a young prime fighter. Calzaghe can do it.

    I don't think Taylor is in JCs league, at SMW Kessler would kill Taylor. I think he beats Hopkins and then takes on a titlist at LHW possibly Woods if he beats Tarver which i think he will then it's time for JC to bow out undefeated.
