    Default CAN CALZAGHE BEAT JOE LOUIS 25 FIGHT UNDEFEATED RECORD...?

    He'll be around 37/38 years old if he can pull it off which is a BIG ask and he'd have to stay injury free.
    That is what motivates him NOT ££$$$££.
    Which is why he is the fighter he is today.
    Would love to see a UK fighter (especially a Londoner) pull this off.
    What do we think?

    Well hes on 19 straight unbeaten defences so far and 26 (beating Louis by one) would be 7 more fights.
    That's a long time fighting under Warren
    Joe is 34 don't forget and is partial to hand bother

    I think for this one we have to look at Calzaghe's comment himself. He himself has said that he has only 3 more fights before he retires, so that would only take him to 22 succesful fights, and that is if he stays at SMW, where he was struggling at the weight a few years ago. Even though more recently he is more comfortable at the weight, can anyone really stay at the same weight they started out as 15 years before? It would be a hard task for him, and I don't see him having the desire to do it. If he beats Kessler, and unifies the division after Bika, that will be one massive achievement, and then a victory to win a Light-Heavy belt is really the extent of his ambition.

    Its not that he cant just that he wont. Like superheavy said Joe C. himself stated he only had 3 or 4 fights left.

    Calzaghe has 2 more years left in him. Tops. Anything more and we will be seeing a fighter on a slide. Past the age of 35 and Calzaghe's phenomenal output will begin to drop and that along with his speed is what makes him such an awesome spectacle....

    Plus the hands are notoriously brittle...

    A few more big wins and then get out of there...Calzaghe is sensible, he wont stay beyond his calling...

    COULD he? Yes......WILL he? Nope.....he's a brittle fighter he gets injured a lot.


    Besides who is there to fight at 168? ....oh that's right Joe will find some shmuck to beat up on. Besides Lacy who has he defended his title against that was any good?

    The real question is who should he of defended against.

    I need educating on the 168 divisions history...

    He's fought guys that have held the WBC, WBA, IBF & WBO belts - and I agree that there is nobody he should have fought and hasn't. Not his fault he is so much better than anybody else at 168 for the last 10 years

    He has p1ssed me off not taking a big fight after Lacy though
