Calzaghe Fans Thread!!

[yvonne]

Mate anyone who doesn't recognise that What JC did to Kessler alone should shut any "hater" up and is no Boxing fan and clueless with it.
They hate because they are jealous!
Kessler (IN HIS PRIME and JC at 35 years old) was a big betting favourite as was Lacy at the time and Joe dealt with both in style and made them both look the older man and slaughtered them with ring skills that they simply couldn't deal with.....he gave both a boxing lesson.
Not the most devestating puncher but was Ali a 1 punch Ko artist?
Like you said his granite chin,speed,ability etc were second to none and he'd always go for a tear up and entertain if needed.
Can anyone remember Joe being backed up for more than a few seconds against an opponent?
haha these haters are just jealous fools at the end of the day and no true fight fan would ever see him as anything other than a great great fighter.
Seem to remember Wacko being one of his biggest fans and having nothing but respect for Joes boxing brain.
The man weren't wrong was he
DON'T RULE OUT A COMEBACK....because his stock doubles if he's coming out of "retirement" £$£$£$£$£$£$£$£
I think he may fight again
If he stays retired then he goes down as one of the best fighters to grace the ring and certainly in recent times..look at his record and it speaks for itself.
Best boxing night of my life was watching him destroy Lacy in Manchester and the atmosphere was electric and that stands alone as the most dominant world title fight peformance ever by a UK fighter.
The fight game has lost a proper star in JC and he'll be sorely missed.

Gonna make this a sticky for a while so the true fans can have their say!

Well spoken!I could'nt say it better myself.I think he could well make a comeback soon.I've said it before,that if anythink someone"Maybe Hopkins"will call out Calzaghe while he's over at Vagas to watch the Hatton vs Pacman fight.He'll get called out while he is at Hattons weigh-in,i bet!!!

Bet your life that JC will be there and Hopkins will be all over him and baiting him up at the weigh in and ringside...
IF it could happen in Wales and generate huge money for Joe then he might take the bait.
All depends if Hopkins can get him thinking but i doubt it as anyone who watched it saw JC beat a cheating pussy looking for a way out in the last few rounds

yeah,and i think it speaks volumes of how great a fighter calzaghe is after hopkins dominated pavlik. i think if calzaghe got to pavlik first it would of been lacy kind of domination.

Haters of Calzaghe come and go on here and i've seen it so many times...
Hopkins was robbed...Joe's shit..... blah blah blah.
I ask anyone this.....
Why would a man look to get his opponent DQ'd from a fight in order to win if he was winning it anyway?
Hopkins knew full well he was being dominated and soundly beaten which is why he cheated.
A fighter who knew he was winning just wouldn't pull that kind of shit!
End Of.

After reading this (And he is quoted) you just get the feeling he's still itching for another Huge challenge!!
Joe Calzaghe Admits He'd Have Carried On Fighting - If He'd Been A Welterweight!

[Hoggmeister]

although i think joe made the right decision, it does make me sad to think that ill never be able to look forward to one of his fights again. the guy was a master that always found a way to win. i hope he enjoys his retirement, he deserves it.

[Gandalf]

At the end of the day, Calzaghe is great fighter. No doubt about it.

One of my favourites since before I even joined here and all the way through up until now.

I wouldnt mind him coming back and beating up Chad Dawson later this year, but I guess not. He obviously could do it though.

Best of luck to Joe, he's the fighter I have talked about most on here. And its a shame he has to be going, but people get old and time keeps on a ticking. Mad props.
