Don't take no notice of me im just in one of my sarcastic moods at the moment. I think Joe Calzaghe was a very good fighter, but he falls short of the title "Great" IMO.

When i watch him i never get the X-Factor feeling like i do, when i watch fighters like Pernell Whitaker, Floyd Mayweather, ETC. I think he should of took more risks early on in his career moving up in weight.

Overall he deserves alot of respect he did achieve alot, but i think he waited to long to step up too the plate. And his overall wins except for a few is mostly decent at best IMO.

Well, my sig pretty much tells it all about where I stand on Calzaghe as a fighter.

In honesty, it hasn't been the most gracious departure from the sport. The Roy Jones Jr he fought was a shadow of the great that went from Middleweight to Heavyweight world champion, and lacked the satisfaction of a truly great finale. Also, the war of words which simmered with Froch in the period between Froch beating Pascal and the retirement today hasn't been a highlight.

However, I think Calzaghe has had a sparkling career, and will go down in history as one of the greats, but history will look back at the fights that were made, and those that passed him by, and say that he was a very good champion.

Hopefully now he can go on and contribute in an ambassadorial role to British boxing, and help encourage those young fighters in Britain to go on and achieve. And from memory, Calzaghe Promotions has its first card this month too in Merthyr, so we'll see how that goes.
