Calzaghe has fought the best in his boxing career, hessler the last bloke he just fought was a monster and joe was lucky to come through that , but outboxed him.

Joe Calzaghe is the best in his weight and now the weigh above, if the boxers in these weights aratron are crap you can hardly blame joe. Hes boxed the best over the years within his weight and now the weight above.

Thats all the man can do...

Hes Still A Legend and laughs at Ricky Hatton.

I suggest Aratron you watch his last fight against the danish geezer and then maybe come back and slate him...
Couldn’t agree more, in fact I thought Kessler was a much tougher opponent than Hopkins, he was quick and strong and he was only 28 and Calzaghe still managed to out box him!

Hopkins was crafty, he tried every trick in the book, head butting, sly digs after the bell, holding on, pretending he was hit low...I think the judges took this into account and realized that Calzaghe was trying make a decent fight out of it... at the end of the day Calzaghe threw more punches and connected more punches....and a wins a win...and im well happy for him!!

there was one funny bit in the fight, round 10 I think when Joe was behind Hopkins pretending to botty bash him.....fvckin classic!!
