Breaking News - Calzaghe Retires

[Bx730NY]

Best and most complete fighter I saw with my own eyes. It was a great pleasure watching him.

[Taeth]

Great fighter, tough as nails, skilled, fast, more importantly determined, what he walked through against Kessler was absolutely amazing. IMO to do it how he did in that fight was way more impressive than what Margarito did to Cotto because Marg has power, while Calzaghe doesn't really, and he knows that, but he utterly overwhelms almost everyone he fights.

[Gandalf]

One of my favourite fighters over the years. He's the complete package.

Its great that he is able to step down without going on too long, but he is still so extremely good that part of me wants to see more. Everything comes to an end sometime, I guess.

[Dark Lord Al]

I for one will not miss this annoying prick .
Calzaghe =

[BIG H]

Great fighter underrrated by a lot of people. I think in 10 years time people will really appreciate how good he was. He did have flaws, i.e he slapped at times and his punch resistance lessened later in his career, but looking at the whole package and the skills and heart he possesed he will go down as a Great!

[porkypara]

Along with Lennox Lewis the greatest British fighter of all time.


He beat the best who were willing to face him and was avoided by a few.

To remain undefeated for so long is an acheavement in its self but to do it at the top level and not slip up once ia amazing.


IMO the only fight he came close to loseing is against Reid.


Great boxer who goes out on top of the world.

[Hoggmeister]

good luck to joe, a unique fighter that we may never see the likes of again.

[Julius Rain]

im with al.


lennox is still the greatest british boxer.

I was told that he had seen Calzaghe live and Kid Thunder live , which may go a small way to explaining why Calzaghe is the most complete fighter he has seen live.

Asi said in another thread , now Calzaghe has retired ,there will be a huge sigh of relief from the elderly and less skilled , as he will no longer be throwing punchs at them .
