Well done Joe

Brings a tear to my eye this

I can't help but feel he would be World sports personality of the year, if there was any justice

 

great year for boxing ,

is this the first time father and son have ever won an award on the same night ???????

 

BBC finally recognise a Jesus.:smoke

 

im pleased for joe but so gutted as i did not bother watching it cos i thought Hamilton would get it!

Well done joe!

 

Boxings back!!!

 

Good to see Calzaghe getting credit first boxer to win it since Lennox I though Lewis Hamilton was gonna win.

 

For those of you in the states and around the world that propbably wouldnt know this, Sports Personality of the Year is pretty much seen as the highest honour that can be given to a British Sports person.

Previous boxers to win it were Lennox Lewis, Frank Bruno, Barry McGuigan and Henry Cooper. Hatton would of 100% won it had he beaten Mayweather last night.

Boxing has been out of the news for the past 5 or 6 years since Hammed and Lewis retired but now its well and truly back in Britain.

Enzo winning trainer of the year, Hatton finishing 3rd and then Joe Calzaghe winning probably the highest honour than can be given to a british sportsmen winning Sports Personality of the year.

I thought it was absolutley fantastic at the end when all the boxers and trainers there were all together at the end and had a big group hug when Joe won, they all seemed genuineley really pleased for him, Enzo, Ricky and eachother, even though some of them our rivals.

Big congratulations has got to go out to Enzo Macceranelli, Gavin Rees, Junior Witter, Clinton Woods, Ricky Hatton, all the trainers and especially to David Haye, Enzo Calzaghe and of coure Joe for there fantastic achievments this year. Also to all the amateures like Frankie Gavin who have done so well and will probably pick up a few medles in Beijing.

Well done as well to guys like Graham Earl, Nicky Cook and Wayne Elcock who gave it there best shot and im sure will win many fights to come, and good luck this year to fighters like Matt Skelton, Carl Froch, John Duddy, Jamie Moore, Amir Khan and Alex Arthur its actually more then concievable that we would have 10 World Champions this time next year as those 5 are all more than capable of picking up a belt next year and some have title shots lined up already in 2008.

Well done to all of them for putting Boxing back to the top where it belongs!!!

 

Well i did not see that coming , for once britain has made the right choice , well deserved and well overdue. Congrat Joe and congrats to boxing!
