No doubt that Calzaghe was a good fighter, but Brits always us the Lacy argument to defend his legacy. Lacy was overrated from day one. Wayyyy overrated! After losing to Joe, and others, Roy went on to treat Lacy like a child in the ring. It wasn't even a fight. And this is Roy Jones' skills greatly diminished...as they were in the Calzaghe fight. Jones' corner didn't even know how to handle his cut eye as he had never been cut before! Amazing!! In his prime he would have toyed with Calzaghe.
I give calzaghe credit he mauled lacey and beat him down, he did well with hopkins as well although i do feel there should have been a rematch there, but prime roy jones jr would have straight up clowned calzaghe no question, just look what james toney did to danny green and danny green was able to beat jones nowadays, since his drop from heavyweight he was never the same, the guy could've been the greatest him and tyson probably the biggest missed opportunities to be the greatest.
Calzaghe onli had 2 knock-outs away from being equal to Trevor Berbrick & Ken Norton. Calzaghe had 11 knock-outs in the first round. And even the best boxers of today say Calzaghe hits hard. You should try and spar with Joe Calzaghe and feel for yourself how hard he hits. Joe had more knock-out victories than Tony Tubbs, Jimmy Ellis, Michael Spinks. END OF.
Pathetic American bias against a truly great fighter. What happened when he fought your "next tyson" in Jeff Lacy? An undefeated American World Champion.. Lacy was favourite and did not win a single round. Calzaghe schooled lacy and took the title in 97 from a legend in Eubank. Add to this his fantastic win over another undefeated champ in Kessler to unify the division. And so to his final 2 fights... Beats B Hop and crushes Jones for fun.. End result Joe undefeated, 20 world title defences!
all bumz and old men who the hell did lacy beat. lacy eeeked by sid vanderpool an bum at best.lacy overrated punching bag.kessler never beat anyone and bhop actually won the match lost decision. cherry picking calzaghi then announces retirment b4 he has to face srious comp like tarver dawson pavlik johnson even abraham
Roy was way past his prime he would whoop Calzaghe's ass if they had fought in the 90's for example! Roy's game is based on reflexes and speed and now when he lost both those things he is weak! And many other guys beat Lacy after the Calzaghe fight! And Calzaghe decisioned him but Roy stopped him
Calzaghe's career is pretty much a joke and he padded his record, Warren is more to blame as he protected his fighter, I mean a guy is pro since 1993 and you havent heard of him until he beats Lacy in 2006, thats 13 years, defenses against bums while protecting the WBO belt, and maybe 2 or 3 mandatories. Cherry picking at its finest...
I know the truth will hurt his fans but in a few years from now slagzaghe legacy will be the way it is...a joke of a career
Joe Calzaghe record is padded with a bunch of bum fights.
All he's doing is fighting great old fighters who are past their primes like Roy Jones Jr. who would've destroyed him in his prime and Bernard Hopkins who some say really beat him.
Joe Calzaghe needs to defeat Chad Dawson in order to be considered one of the greats.
Lennox lewis was the same. if it was done with holyfield he would still been champ till a few years back. taking the tuff fights wears you down. but i guess thats what we want so i get your point. :)
Joe Calzaghe=UNDEFEATED 46-O super skilled fighter + iving legend .
well done Joe , it's been an honour to watch you all these years .
primeraprim (aka bobsinno) = whining tart, who uses multiple account's for his bitter "I hate Joe" campaign , so he can make his sad little comments and then use his other account's to agree with himself .
People always say if Calzaghe was an American we would praise him thats bullshit because look at FLoyd Mayweather in my opinion he still has fights out there for him to prove himself he does not have Sugar Shane, Cotto, Manny Pacman or Margarito on his resume yet, and there is still a few names calzaghe has not got on his.
calzaghe is a good fighter no doubt.... but he never had a fight with a true pure talented boxer! bernard and roy? too old for calzaghe, that wont make him look that good.
Always the same pitiful excuses when Joe wins, often from mugs who predicted he'd be whupped. He's always had the will, skill, speed, fire, fitness, workrate, heart and brain to come through, and incredibly adapatable. Knock him down he comes back stronger, even with broken hand he's won comfortably one-handed. When he whupped coward crybaby Hopkins they said well Bhop was no good anymore, and Pavlik would whup him instead. Ha! No more excuses, please- the truth is obvious.
Haha, because he beat Jones? Typical loser, and who is to say Calzaghe wouldn't beat Jones in his prime. He beats everyone else... Unorthodox style, super speed, fantastic boxer. As Roy himself said "The better fighter won the fight"
ANYBODY HERE ENJOY A FLUTTER? SERIOUSLY, GET TO THE BOOKIES AND PUT YOUR HOUSE ON AN ACCUMULATOR: Calzaghe decisions Jones, Barrett KO's Haye & Froch KO's Pascal, it's going to happen!
Haha Calzaghes chin is granite. Like jaguar said, its three times in his career. Not many fighters can boast that. And hes come back to win every time. And never fought a serious puncher? Jeff Lacy was a serious puncher, Calzaghe schooled him. Kessler is a big puncher, Calzaghe threw him off balance the entire fight. Roy Jones may be a class above those two fighters, but Calzaghe is going to show all the American boxing fans out there who the REAL boss is.
LMAO! American boxers are the best. Do your research. Ali, Foreman, Ray Robinson,Ray Lenord,Hagler, Mayweather, RJJ, James Toney, Mike Tyson etc etc etc... USA breeds the best boxers!!
GOE1988 just because you have a great chin does not mean you arent going to get hit,but some fighters get hit and they stay hit,some fightewrs get hit and they come back swinging
Anyone can get knocked down. He got straight back up. If bhop had thought he'd hurt cal, he would'ave been on him like a rash in the 1st round. the reason why he held off is coz he knew he hadnt hurt him. Unfortunately for hop, you actually have to throw punches to win a fight. And the bottom line is, he just didnt throw enough!
Jones could win this, his defence has seen better days but he looks to still have the speed and power, will need a knockout tho & Joe's chin is cast iron! Be interesting!
my ass he's got a cast iron chin hopkins knocked him down in the first round of their fight and jones is more of a knockout guy than hopkins by far anyway calzaghe does not have an iron chin
In his whole career 15 years of boxing Calzaghe has only been down 3 times. Yes thats right, down 3 times in 15 years....
Of which he has got back up straightaway to either knock his opponant out in the same round or win via UD. If thats not an iron chin then *uck knows wat is..
Yea Hopkins droped Calzaghe in the first round, Jones is faster and hits harder than Hopkins. Calzaghe never been hit by a serious puncher, Calzaghe is gonna rush Jones like he always does try to overwelhm him wit a barrage of punches and get caught and shell shocked when he sees th speed and power.
watch that knocked down from bhop again. bhop follows thru with his head an pushes calzaghe back an onto the floor. it was a knockdown but it didnt hurt joe one bit.
No doubt that Calzaghe was a good fighter, but Brits always us the Lacy argument to defend his legacy. Lacy was overrated from day one. Wayyyy overrated!
