    The only elite prime fighter hes beaten is Kessler and we arent 100% sure just how great Kessler is, he could lose to Taylor next year and whats that do for Joe's status?.....

    Calfaghe fan: "Joe destroyed Kessler and he hasnt been the same matey"

    Beat past it legends like RJJ, and Eubanks, and barely beat a 44 year old Hopkins.


    If he retired today his career will be questioned in the next few years and then eventually forgotten.

    :deal

    Pavlik is a different story, hes up there as one fo the top 5 most overrated fighters of this decade.

    95% of this board said Pavlik would destroy Iran Barkely.....:verysad

    44 year old Hopkins just smashed Pavlik, whom many, myself included, picked to beat Hops.

    Calzaghe, even at the age of 36/37 has pretty much unparalelled levels of fitness and work-rate. His relative hand-speed is also still one of the best in the game. His adaptability within fights is the envy of many a fighter - he can fight many styles and find different ways to win.

    Watch the fights and stop trying to pick holes.

    ^^ what he said

    when it comes to ring generalship, working out a fighter in the ring, few are better than Calzaghe

    and that is with both glass hand and frank warren syndrome in the past.
