Calzaghe Gifs...

[Gandalf]

Calzaghe was a wonderful fighter and I never get bored of watching his fights. He was unique and he was second to none. Calzaghe had the ability to adapt like no other. If things were rough early, he worked it out. And he did every time. Knocked down? Found a way. He had it all. Early in his career he thumped. Later on he outworked. He was brilliant in that way and I know no other fighter with such versatility.

People knock the Calzaghe/Jones Jr fight, but for me that performance is ballet. It is sublime. The way he gets up and toys with jones Jr with his peek a book hundred punch mantra and then boxes his arse off. Sure 'it wouldn't quite like be that in the prime Jones Jr time' say the Jones Jr fanboys. Well, looking at that record I see nobody like Joe Calzaghe. Always the same result.

slappy joe

Funny as I thought those opening gifs were a shot at Joe because they are not the most endearing however its actually you taking the shots.

Do you even know why he never threw punches as straight later in his career and if you do then why do you call him slappy? He broke his hands on more then one occasion putting people to sleep. In fact prior to his hand damage he had one of the best ko ratios in boxing. If you want to go see a slapper go watch the career set of George Foreman or read up on the exploits of "slappy" Rosenbloom.

In addition Jones was long gone from 168 when Joe came on the scene and Joe cleaned up. Guys like you that call professional fighters nobodies make me laugh. You do this while also ignoring all the facts of a given hypothetical to pursue a desired albeit invalid conclusion. Joe fought everyone available PERIOD! and if you have evidence to say different then produce it.

Seriously have you considered you're idols collection of notches? Name one prime elite fighter that Tyson beat? He entered a division long in the tooth and went on a run of wins knocking out a collection of pseudo gatekeepers and later old pros with one foot out the door.

Many fighters transcend resumes. Hopkins would have competed in any middleweight era regardless of the lack of depth in the middle of his career. Same with Joe and yes Tyson.

@PhilOSOPHER My apologies for the little jab with the Wlad gifs. All in fun and I actually thought you were and am still unsure taking a shot at Joe.

If you in fact were then I take that^ back.
