Props to Joe Calzaghe

props to joe for avoiding dangerous fighters anywhere near their prime

 

Solid.

 

Still a damn good fighter, should of fought one more time against a quality opponent.

 

Nah, it won't happen. Calzaghe will be 40 years old with 3 years out the ring. That is not a good scenario for a guy that is fast and relies on stamina. You can only keep yourself in so much shape, it isn't like being in ring shape. Besides, from what I've seen he's let himself go, he looks fat in the face.

I don't really get the impression he has that drive and hunger anymore for boxing. He seems fairly content, and he's got loads of money, I think he's happy with his life in Wales from what I've read. Then again, he does love money, so if it was a MONSTER offer you never know...

I would have liked him to fight Chad Dawson before he retired, that was a shame it didn't happen, would have been a really good fight.

 

Dear god, not another one.

 

I gotta give him props too, I thought Jeff Lacy would destroy him after what he did to Robin Reid. However, I am not in favor of those who call him a "great" fighter:nut

 

Calslap was a damn good fighter. One of the best of his generations. Amazing recovery skills. Adaptability. Power. Ring generalship, and amazing stamina.


But he didnt prove it in the ring. Thats the knock against him.

 

WWM, have you given Calzaghe "a hard time?" You seem to polish his nob on a very regular basis, cuz.

 

When? ALOT. People will be ripping Calzaghe left and right and you always come in and say something encouraging about the guy. Every time. I could set my watch by it. Instead of us finding all these post, let's find some where you actually "give Calzaghe a hard time." I'd like to see one.

 

I think a younger hop and ROy would of beaten him. But him giving Lacy a boxing lesson was great, especially hearing my friend tell me how great Lacy will be and be an ATG before that fight. He was getting on my nerves and Joe shut him up
