I keep hearing all this negative stuff about Calzhage and I'm just stunned. The guy is the most complete package of our era.
Tell me where you guys guys have found a better package of Speed, Heart, Ring Smarts, Adjustments, Chin, Conditioning, Skill, Dedication and his fights are clean. No need to cheat when you're this good i guess. (Hopkins)

THe only problems that people have with Calzaghe is that A) he hid in Wales for a long time, only to fight old American fighters at the end of his career.
B) He and esp. his father is a twat.

You can look at Calzaghe's record on boxrec and take what you want from that. But you can only discuss his career. That's a debate which will go on for years I'm guessing :-\
I don't think that anybody can watch Calzaghe in the ring and say that he is not (;)) a seriously talented fighter and one of the best SMWs of all time, say what you want about his career but in terms of pure boxing ability I don't see how anybody can say otherwise.
He is the complete package but he’s not the only one, the problem is he fought the best boxers (RJJ and Hopkins) when they got old, in other words he didn’t really proved he’s the best but he always acted like he was.Quote:
