The main forum will struggle, i came in here last week and it seem like 90% of threads were about him!
SHHHHHHHH!!!!! its not something to talk about - it will not happen.... Hero's come and go, but the Joe Calzaghe Mafia will never die!!!!
The Forum will struggle for a while. but, after a proper tribute video and forum-wide candle light vigil, along with naming the day he retired "Joe Calzaghe day" some normalcy will return. In the coming years, when we watch fights, we'll say; "these guys are good, but they're no Joe Calzaghe". Joe Calzaghe the boxer will be gone, and while we mourn the loss of that great champion, we must remember that Joe Calzaghe the man will live forever.
Still convinced that he lost fair and square to Bhop, so in my world Joe's 0 is already long gone! Apart from Bhop, I'm really hoping for a rematch against Kessler. I think the handinjury (=no real sparring 3 weeks prior to the fight) was the key factor in that defeat, and now that Kess has undergone surgery and seems more fit than ever, my money would definitely be on Kess this time around, that being in Cardiff, US, Copenhagen, anywhere!
i live in denmark and that's just not realisitc. even kessler said after the JC fight that he didn't realise he was that good. he was right. but i bet you JC thought the same thing after fighting hopkins and prays to this day that the fight never happened when it mattered.
