This weekend saw the start of BBC‘s ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ and Joe made his debut alongside professional dancer and blonde beauty Kristina Rihanoff.

“I never really danced before,” stated the Welsh Boxer, “so I was pretty nervous taking this up - probably more nervous than when I step in to the ring for a fight!

when will people realise that calzaghe is a chancer! with respect to other bloggers, the only people who big him up are guys in the UK, not all may i add, there are plenty of UK guys who share my opinion. The bottom line is; if your anyway good, the americans seek you out. If your a chancer, the americans see through you and consequently dont come knocking on your door. After 5,10,15 defences, the guys across the pond didnt come battering down his door. That tells a story in itself. dont get me wrong, he comes across a nice guy and talented no doubt, but an all-time great? There are guys who werent even champions who would have eaten him for breakfast. Bobby watts, Willie munroe to name a few. Even Eubank pre Watson would have done enough and hes another WBO (world british organisation) 'champ'

As for his dancing - he is horrendous
