    I'd love to see him back, still a legend in my eyes, the coke addiction has just made him a whole lot more real and likeable.

    He's one of the people imo. Good luck to him.
    He's not a cocaine addict, he's a recreational user. There's a big difference. But I do agree, it has made him seem more human and more likable.
    Really wow i seem to be the only one against his drug use.

    No im against people who abuse drink, because i've had family members. End up in the gutter because of drink, and at the moment yes i am against drink. There's too many young teenagers getting pissed, and people being stabbed.

    But there's nothing you can do about it, but explain one thing to me. Since when is someone being a drug user, make them more likable ? can you explain that one to me ? because really im lost for words.

    I don't think a drug user personally makes them more likable but I think someone like Calzaghe multi millionaire national hero sporting icon etc etc, who is recorded talking about doing a few lines is quite funny/surprising and makes you see him in a different light, I don't think any less of him if he does a few lines now and again I don't see the problem, people can go on about people ruin there lives and get addicted etc etc on that stuff but so do gamblers drinkers and similar things but that's life. That is just my opinion and I respect yours.

    Well Calzaghe loves to beat up on old past it fighters so I would look at Calzaghe before Reid.

    It's not because he's a drug user, it's because he's a flawed individual just like the rest of us. I personally can't stand cocaine and I can't stand being around people on cocaine, but if someone wants to use it recreationally then I have no problem with that. It's illegality is the primary reason for many of the problems associated with it.

    Calzaghe being a bit of a washed-up has-been makes it easy to like and relate to him. He's no longer an arrogant, cocky person superstar. I think some people, myself included, find it easier to cheer for people that they can relate to.

    I think Ice has the moral values of a 17th century puritan.

    It's like he's stepped out of a Dickens novel, or he's an heir to the Earl of Shaftesbury

    I sort of agree with ICB. I laughed reading cocaine has made Calzaghe more human and likable.

    Calzaghe is just a clueless human being like everyone else on earth, it just so happens he's a talented boxer.

    He is not better than you.

    Good for you mate...I know you are a young guy and to have a clear head about abusing drink is great...Not too many or should I say not enough young guys are that aware...

    With that being said IMO the comment about him being more likable was just sort of saying it tells you Joe is an average guy not above reproach like any of us...
