NEW! JOE CALZAGHE SPECIAL: TRIBUTE TO HIS LATE FATHER AND RELIVES THE GLORY DAYS - WITH AKY KARIM

[@nzrdb6]

Great interview. Very knowledgeable interviewer asking excellent questions. Joe's a great guy. People forget how heavy handed he was

[@TheIkaraCult]

his hands were fucked for a long time, hence the 'slapper' nonsense. Floyd had the same problem with his hands but he doesnt get the same grief for it

[@MrKent1111]

@@TheIkaraCult to be honest I would just take that as a compliment to him now! How many boxers could radically change their style like Joe did? Not many in my eyes because it's ingrained into them! Class act Joe in and out of the ring

Joe is the greatest British boxer ever ..full respect and god bless Enzo

[@alburke881]

@Anderl Blakely still the best . By far .

[@alburke881]

@Anderl Blakely NO ONE RATES HIM OUTSIDE OF THE UK ? tell that to the hall of fame . he was inducted into it to years ago . seems he is highly rated . also i am outside of the uk and i rate also . hes by far the best british boxer and one of the best all time great boxers .

[@alburke881]

@Anderl Blakely Lennox was knocked out by a nobody . He fought Tyson when he was on the slide . He fought evander near the end of his career . Morrison was always on the slide due to his lifestyle . Joe beat everyone that was put infront of him and eubank early in Joe's career . He schooled Jones when they were both reaching the end of there career . He demolished Jeff Lacey who the " Americans " sent over claiming him to be the next tyson . Joe punched the ears off him . Completely outclassed Jones . He beat them all , and regards his boxing ability , outstanding and anyone in boxing knows it . You talk about the Russians , they hadn't even trown there hat into the ring when Joe was at the start middle or end of his career , and dela Hoya is not in the same class as calzache when it comes to boxing ability . He beat everyone , EVERYONE , regardless of where they were at in there career , because he was at the same place in his . He's a well deserved boxing hall of famer and those in boxing know that , hence why they put him there . You can debate all day about how he's rated around the world , or not rated , but when all is said and done he is by far the best boxer every to come out of the UK via WALES . I boxed for most of my life . I come from a family of boxers . My cousin is fighting in Madison square garden in 4 weeks for a world title , I know boxing and so do the experts that inducted him .

[@alburke881]

@Anderl Blakely and don't talk about canelo . The only real matchup he's had in recent years was against GGG and GGG beat him twice and got robbed of the decision . And what would Mexicans know about the heavier weight decisions until they recently for the first time in the history of boxing won a world heavyweight title with ruiz ? The Mexicans , including de la hoya are corrupt . My cousin fought one if there world champions in Mexico for a world title , beat him easy and still got robbed of the title with a split decision . Only seconds after the robbery was announced they offered him a rematch and he accepted . Weeks later when he looked for the rematch contract they ran a mile , never to be seen again , hence why he's fighting in MSG for a world title at a higher weight. Don't talk to me about Mexicans . They're so corrupt my cousin had to stay in a secret hotel in Mexico fight week because if they knew where he was staying they would attempt to spike his food and drink to slow him down . They're riddled in corruption . Know one wants there recognition.

I had two dads. My biological dad who hated me,I don't know why. And my step dad. My step dad was the most wonderful man on earth,my biological dad a violent alcoholic. I lost my step dad 3 years before my bio. How ironic is that ? The reason behind this story is Enzo and Joe typified a father son relation ship. Many times I have wept seeing Enzo so proud after the bell. I wept tears for them both. Joe,you lucky git.

[@bittasweetsymphony726]

maybe you idn't lose your stepdad, maybe he left you.

[@alexandruescu1207]

My dad was a violent, bad tempered drunk... really took many years of my life due to anxiety and depression, until I learned to understand that the man behind the scary mask was deeply damaged from his own upbringing. With that understanding followed compassion, and now I’m free from the past.

[@boxingfan4977]

Joe Calzaghe 😳 bravo British Boxers one of the best to do it

That was a great interview. Can see the hurt of him missing his Dad, what a beautiful relationship they had. God Bless Joe.

Waited till Hopkins and Roy Jones were past it before he fought them. Hopkins beat him as well

[@23macca23]

casey bramley Check the record books. Calzaghe BEAT Hopkins!

[@sheruffa6032]

@@TrulyUniqueOne Look, I heard a boxing coach say that you don't need to watch the matches against Hopkins or Roy Jones jr, a coach only takes ten matches to understand the potential of a boxer, He said that to understand Calzaghe's talent it is enough to observe two matches, the First against Mkrtchyan and the second against Brewer, these two matches were enough for the Boxing coach to understand that Joe was on another level, and looking back at those matches, there are all the characteristics, all the qualities of this great boxer, so before judging, observe these two encounters, then let's talk about them.

[@TrulyUniqueOne]

@@23macca23 Hopkins didn't have a mark on him at the end of the fight and he had 2 outrageous decisions against him previously at the same venue. Hopkins beat him

[@donspartan5403]

Salute Joe. Your old man was a character and will be remembered. Make sure you get more involved with today's boxing as your the type of character UK boxing needs. I remember when you fought Roy Jones Jr and I was in afghan at the time. I remember phoning bastion and getting some lad to go online to tell me the result. I'll never forget that. That's the dedication us fans have for this sport. Keep entertaining us Joe.

We Italians are proud that he was a great champion, but in this case the merit is of the place that raised him and the parents who allowed him to become what he has become,the merit is also and above all of joe and his character and his strength! we remember that the context in which we grow up is very important. , if he grew up in Italy it is not said that he would have been a boxer, let's not forget this detail!

[@keithbrady7320]

Thanks Joe and Enzo for the great nights and inspseration you gave me and many other.. The night you beat Jeff Lacey i was in a bad place in my life.and after seeing you fight a fight many thought you hadnt a hope of winning i made a chioce about where i was going in my life and never looked back. I named my little boy Enzo who is 2 yrs old now after the great man himself. i looked up to Enzo Calzaghe just as much as Joe. What a team! What a bond! What a journey. Respect and hats off to both.

[@TheJamie6666]

Jeff Lacey was highly overrated.

[@keithbrady7320]

Jess Lacey was never the same boxer after that fight. He came into that fight a Champion. Average or not everyone but Enzo Calzaghe thought Lacey was the real deal. He had deadly knockout power but he couldnt set himself up because Joe made him dizzy with his speed and movement.

[@peterbalac1915]

@@keithbrady7320 Fortunately there are very few negative comments about Joe on this thread.I will never forget the Lacey fight what a performance from Joe one of my all time favourite fights.I picked up on the love and respect enzo & Joe had for each other never having that from my father made me realise that's exactly the relationship I wanted with my son, seeing Joe and enzo hugging and enzo kissing Joe on the head when he won was agreat lifes lesson for me.I too have the Same relationship with my son thanks to enzo, RIP enzo thanks to you and Joe for great memories and the best lesson in life I learned from watching you both 👏❤❤
