listen part time boxing spectators, Calzaghie has been in profesional boxing for 13years and hasn't even fought anyone dangerous in his weight.

13years is nearly a whole lifetime for boxing careers and WHAT IS HE A CHAMPION OF, someone said he was a champion but of what belt????? yeah nothing too major league i know.

even heard Barry Migwigen say something similar


Edited: Oh just remembered, he did beat Chris Eubank

Part time boxing spectators!

Eubank
Robin Reid (just)
Omar Sheika
Richie Woodhall
Jeff Lacy
Sakio Bika

Collins decided to call it a day cus he knew Joe would beat him.

Benn would have gone too. ( and hes a personall fave)

Calzaghes style dont suit everyone but his workrate and fitness is immense!

Lacy was meant to be the dogs in tedivision and Joe ripped him to shreds!

Manfredo is a joke tough but still better than the mandatory defence.

Personally would have liked to seen him against Hopkins or step up to meet Roy Jones (shell of former self ) or Clinton woods.

Far from shit mate! In the top ten PFP

Think it would have gone the distance but Joes workrate would put him ahead IMO.

Trinidad wasnt a natural super middle. Hopkins and Winky Right won clearly over 12 rounds. Would have been a good tear up though.

Hasnt he packed up now?

Left hook lacey is good but but comparing him to Mike Tyson no way, if tyson didn't fuck up his personal life so much he would be a living legend.

TYSON'S THE MAN THO

Jeff lacy was merely a MINI tyson.

4x4 sorry but you talk shit - you base calzaghes 'shitness' on his resume of which isn't full of legends... BUT

Jermain Taylor, a fighter with a fearless reputation shamelessly ducked him.

Legend Hopkins ducked him.

Roy Jones avoided him like the plague.

James Toney disrespected then ducked him like a scared rat.

Even Winky is scared.

Who the fuck else will fight him? Oh yeah, Peter Manfredo - He has nothing to lose and is proud just to stand in the same ring as Joe.

The ring top 10

Champ: Calzaghe

Kessler
Mundine
Lacy
Beyer
Andrade
Bute
Froch
A. Green
Inkin
Manfredo

Calzaghe needs to fight Kessler to prove his legacy at his weight

No one can call joe shit, his workrate is one of the best I have ever seen.

Problem for him tho is his left hand as he carnt hit as hard, cos it may brake.

I think he landed 1000 punches on lacy.

Is everone calling him joe cos, no one can spell calazarghiee

i dont even see the point in calzaghe fighting manfredo, they only fought was it 6 rounds or so on the contender and manfredo was so tired he could barely stand at the end.

calzaghes stamina and fitness alone will win it never mind his far superior boxing skill.

Calazaghe is top! Roll on the flattening of Peter Manfredo da get me wrong he's a decent guy
but what he offers this fight i cant see as he will be totaly outboxed and then destroyed.

So whe can see Joe beat up Bernard Hopkins If they can ever agree to get the fight on that is.

joe injuries are getting worse that what I fear, the fact he carnt hit as hard, so he throws more and easily wins on points, if he hits as hard as he can with the left it will brek, and that his trademark shot.

With all the boxers who have ducked calzaghe
at least manfredo has had the balls to get in the ring with him.
A great pay day for manfredo
but another win to go on calzaghes record.
