where do you rate calzaghe among top british fighters?

Stop talking about during.

His own father was ready to leave his camp if he didn’t take the Lacey fight. He pleaded with him to take it. Hence why he never fought the elite in his prime.

Joe never faced a quality operator like Usyk, so props to Tony for that.

 

Kessler?

All this Jones dodging talk, have you seen what weight Jones was fighting at?

 

Bellew was only it for his final pile of PPV Mug Money having mentally retired after the Haye farcical 'fights'.

Went in with next to zero chance of winning, similar to Crolla tonight, and was always going to jack at the first sign of trouble.

Could, should, never ...... focus on ring achievements.

Glen McCrory fought Lennox Lewis in his prime - does that allow him into the hall of fame LOL

Bellew got pumped by Nathan Cleverley while Joe retired UNDEFEATED after 46 fights.

Do not mention puddings in the same breath as our elite fighters please - people are laughing at you

 

Kessler and Lacy were prime, undeniable great wins. Hopkins and Eubank were solid wins against opponents past their very best. Jones was absolutely shot to pieces.

After that we're talking about the likes of Robin Reid. It's a shame but that's really poor for a guy as talented as Joe after nearly fifty fights.

 

Yes his CV needed 3-4 more super fights but people like Frock would not fight him. Was very disappointed he went out fighting Jones.

Still think he was an elite fighter and certainly his talent was levels above the Bellews etc

 

Talent wise he was miles above Froch, Bellew and so on.

CV wise he's miles behind both for me. Such a shame. He could have been a genuine all time great and many in global boxing think he's a protected chump.

 

He achieved a lot of things in his career that most fighters can only dream of, and you can't knock that.

 

Overrated.

 

Muggeth, mocking names, puddings...

Joe arguably lost to Reid ffs.

Your threads are laughable.

 

You and ladyboy Emilly Annie the biggest jokes on here - 46 fights undefeated GIRUY both

 

Ed deh? You’re a goat.

 

Spell correctly you fool - Eh day

On a more personal note do you Brixton Bomber take the poster emallini to be your lawful wedded wife?

 

Only if you’re my best man ;-) xx

 

Thought you were going to ask me to pump him - phew !!!

 

Joe Calzaghe was fed a steady diet of puddings and cans.

Guys like Tocker Pudwill and Rick Thornberry even sound like canned puddings that were popular with blue-rinse grannies a few decades ago.
