I think Calzaghe is one of the top fighters of his day and a fighting champion !!

People laugh at Calzaghe and say who has he fought but to know Joe you know that he just a fighting man through and through he has fought plenty of good fighters Reid ,Sheika ,Mittchell,Woodhall, Brewer and Lacy and barely lost a round in any of them !!

He didnt just get results he stood in the trenches sometimes when injured and not sharp and did it the old fashioned way with his bollocs and no little skill .


The Lacy performence was one of the best ever in a British Ring he beat a very good fighter on the biggest night of his life in any and every way you could beat somebody he is a man of steel and a man of increible bottle and resolve and i really wish he could have had more luck , the man who entered the Ring against Lacy knew he was the better man when all others doubted !!

He doesnt quite make the grade as an alltime great because of injury but to make 20 defences and never be in any trouble is a laudable accolade .


Hopkins bottled it against Calzaghe and proved himself a run of the mill good middleweight and at the same time oppurtunist .
Hopkins stealing the fight against Eastman and the 2 non events Taylor proved him for what he wa .

Mayweather , good but not a true fighting man just hasnt fought anyone good enough his record of late is just shit !! He's got all the skill ,lightning speed good techinically but not the heart and nothing like the bottle .

Winky is a good fighter i like him but he just doesnt excite me and you know what you get with him everytime and i think Calzaghe would just destroy him at 168 , i sure respect him a ton more than Hopkins .
