Joe Calzaghe reflects on his fights with Bernard Hopkins & Roy Jones Jr | Coming To America 🇺🇸 

Blue Rainbow SHUT UP RASCIST

David Nolan Yo mama biatch

David Nolan Just curious. ..what did he say that makes him a racist? I don't get it!

Weedy Pigeon 2nd He's winding you up, Also.. Joe slappy Calzaghe is a fraud

Iron Bull hahah spot on lad

"That's what came from these balls!" As John fury said

Damn I did not know this...Shame...

Did not know Enzo died until just now. I always assumed he was too young for that, at 69 he was still too young. RIP to this legendary trainer 🙏

@@bulletproofman323 Sad part number two Enzo's wife has died as well

*the greatest British fighter

Dam right kid !! ...I wanted to rename him. "Huge heart calzagie ",,,,. Some guy ehh,.. I feel we didn't really get to know him , if that makes sense ., so something like this is cool isn't it bro.

Most definitely 👊🏽

Welsh

And thee greatest!

Matt Thompson Man his showboating is cringe worthy!

@@ironbull8256 troll give it up you fucking ass wipe

Do not be an arse ! Any boxing fan would never under rate JOE CALZAGHE only idiots like you .What a clown

Dave Collins facts 💯

Man come on. Calzaghe was good but stop with the All Time stuff. His resume was very weak and doesn’t stack up to the true greats.

He was good but not great. He gets the right amount of credit. Why do you think a guy should be rewarded for fighting a list of rubbishy opponents. When he stepped up in class v Hopkins it didn’t go so good and Hopkins was 43. The guy carefully managed his career. Stop rewarding that behavior.

Check and Balance true lol

LR266 Absolutely correct, he was the BEST!

If he was English he would have a knighthood. . He beat the best in his era

@Greg Pettis Calzaghe fought a washed up RJJ that had been KO'd several times prior. Prime Roy smokes him early. I'd rank Calzaghe under Jones, Toney, and Bhop, but above Saul Alvarez and Andre Ward. I think that's about fair.

Joe destroy's him.what could carl do to stop him.---nowt

Joe would have beat Carl easy ..but I don't think he'd have stopped him ...Carl had a great chin but Joe would have put more hits on him that a major you tube channel gets

john wedgbury HAHHAAHAH

Marvin hagler wud hav walked him down in 5 or 6

Tracy Murray leave the 80s out of this plz

@@tracymurray9798 Marvin Hagler, you name him with such lightness, you are talking about one of the best boxers in history.

Why ? Froch at least took chances and didn’t pad his record with terrible opponents

Rangda Rangda not even close. Froch was a tough man with a granite chin, calzaghe was poetry in motion. Levels above.

There about the same froch calzaghe and fury all have thay same kind of engine chin and heart

Froch had a better resume despite that though.

Froch was always trying to grab on to J.Cs. shirt tales. Also, why did Froch never want to fight either Nigel Benn or Chris Eubank??? WURZO 2020 - 1968 -

Wow I mean he’s a great fighter but top 10 all time ?

@@vince11harris rewatch his career. I would personally consider him within my top ten best fighters of all time

*over rated

@@meandmynine_tm9684 boxing casual

Maybe underrated by those who think he’s a total joke.. but those who say he’s an ATG OVER RATE him. Calzaghe should not be rewarded for fighting a carefully gaurded resume. Many bums and some past prime older big names.

Were Lacey, Kessler or Hopkins bums or past their prime??

@Sam Harris he beat hopkins ya plant pot. Check the record books!

That was true. He didn't LET him beat him, he just did it.

Tbf Hopkons was an old msn and I had the right a draw and I'm a bit joe fan..

Not all white guys are soft

Yeah after his 40's lol

He said that when he was 43 his age is no excuse and he said again b4 he fought joe smith

Your a young man. Perhaps you should watch and study the sport a little more before calling this coward a legend. This is an excerpt from his autobiography - 'No Ordinary Joe' published a year before they fought in 2007: "I have no interest anymore in Roy Jones and no interest in Antonio Tarver. Jones is washed up and Tarver was never that good anyway. He just caught Jones when Jones was shot and Johnson did the same" That’s the fight you watched at 4am. Coward Calzaghe. No one really rated him a legend.

@@checkandbalance2903 you're obliviously a hater. Commenting on every fucking comment. Check out what Emmanuel Steward said about him. Multi division champ, 46-0... who did he duck? Why is he a coward? Youre just a salty hater... funny too because i havent seen you respond to any rational comments.... i seen your page. Youre in recovery? I get it been there too... but constant irrational hating on a great athlete youll never meet or know isnt very healthy nor is it conducive to long term recovery... focus on positive shit brotha you can do better be well good luck

@@sbakernyc5761 There are too many smug comments over two greats who were obviously past their best, their past few fight record prior to Joe was 3 _3 RJJ and 2 - 2 Hopkins. Also too much is made of overhyped Lacey who hadn't beaten an elite opponent before or after facing Joe

Here your session with joe.. “I fought the worst opponents I could find, waited till Hopkins and Jones were good and old than tricked all the ignorant UK boxing fans into thinking they were still in there primes😝. Hopkins almost beat me anyway though... I’m the coward from Wales.”

@@checkandbalance2903 😂😂😂😂😂 id say Hopkins did beat him. Bhop didn't have a mark on him at the end of the fight

@@checkandbalance2903 Please do everyone a huge favour and shut your fuckin mouth:(100% HELMET) WURZO 2020 - 1968 -

@@margotcappello8789 Well said .

Jimmy Wilde, Lennox Lewis and yes even CARL FROCH, all took more chances and fought true prime competition

@@checkandbalance2903 Stfu nobody cares

@Marq LOECSTA Name any better islands ? (Apart from Japan) ? :D

The best , ever...

Eddy Baz I know that you beauty but he was also emotional over his career

That's kind of logical if you never beaten a big-name fighter in his prime

Think hes more italian than welsh

@@historygeek7779 his mother is Welsh and his father is italian so he is half Welsh half italian.

Ps wonderful interview. Thanks for this.

When a father knows the ability of his son.

@Maj The Reefer Oh fair play I saw Enzo wobble by, but only saw Roy on stage at the weigh in. Marti Mcfly was there too 😂

@Biniam Zerai Trump is the king man

Yet Floyd constantly talks about his fucking money miss me with that bull shit

He was good but not one of the best ever. Come on man. Research the history of the sport. Look at guys like Robinson, Armstrong, ... hell Robinson fought a HOF fighter twice in the same month. Calzaghe has a very sketchy resume. Lots of C level competition and when he stepped up to HOF level fighters they were in their 40s. Jones was so shit he should have had his license stripped. Calzaghe has lots of delusional fans.

As you Were It might seem weird now, but if you watched that fight live, you'd remember it was unavoidable as part of the fight week build up. It was America's first black president, it was an historic event, and the fight was taking place in New York. It was a case of history, not politics. I remember Enzo taking the piss out of Roy for using Obama's slogan 'change' in the final press conference, saying 'there ain't gonna be no fucking change'. He had the whole room in stitches.

Because sky and mass media are brainwashing people into retards .

@Salah the Diver SUM1 WITH A BRAIN RACIST CALL HIM BLACK HIS MUM WHITE

Obummer was an ahole.

Trump is a fat wanker

He simply is.

one of the greatest of all time full stop.

Greatest of all time ?!?! Seriously?? Come on man he’s not even in Box rec top 100 list.

You never watched Nigel Benn fight I take it?

@Greg Pettis and mayweather with 50-0

That was kinda weird, dunno why he noted that

It was a stupid question

@@ttlfmag3507 stupid question, great answer.

@Bryan Black He was looking for some vurtue signalling BS

Obummer was a lieing ahole, who didn't give a crap about anybody , except the Demorat poverty pimp party.

Hopkins made their fight dull. He admitted it himself lol.. But get your point Joe's speed was phenomenal.

Did you watch the Starie, Thornberry and Jimenez fights? Although not entirely Joe's fault, they were stinkers!

The ONLY thing I respect about Calzaghe is his relationship with his dad.. that was truly beautiful as far as his career.. overrated and fought very poor comp and had one of the most padded records in boxing history.

Thee top by quite a bit

He’s not even in Box Rec top 100 man. Your insane if you think he’s top 10. Why would you reward a guy who epitomized avoiding dangerous fights. You want to put him up there with warriors like Ray Robinson who fought 10 HOF fighters in there prime MULTIPLE times ??? Robinson has some 35 fights against other Hof Fighters. Calzaghe had 2 and they were both at the tail end of there careers 40 plus years old.

@@checkandbalance2903 your a moron. Who did joe avoid ? The problem was there was nobody else during his time. Much like the Klitschko's . Beat everyone there was out there. Not their fault that the was no one. Joe is an all time great and only a hater would say otherwise.the Kessler he fought was then times better than the one who fought froch. Also styles makes fights and joe would have wiped the floor with froch. I'd see it similar to the froch vs ward fight.

@@checkandbalance2903 well said 46 - 0 isn't worth a fuck when most of the opponents were tomato cans

Not even close my friends but hes top 40 atleast

@@TrulyUniqueOne 50-0 ain't shit when a certain pussy fighting non boxers get the fuck outta here with that shit

GazB Groundwork you mean you don’t like to listen to the Eubanks???lol oj

@@therabman_5606 I loved watching eubank snr, and he was a character. AJ got a shock last night. Gonna be hard to come back from that!

I disagree Roy at super middle would have been untouchable or hell anytime before the Glenn Johnson ko lol but Joe was good I liked him wish he'd have fought in America sooner he was fun to watch

You must be a casual nobody beats rjj pre 2004

Joe was fresh as fuck from fighting bums. Jones had fought the best of the best for years. Stop embarrassing yourself.

@@meandmynine_tm9684 and that bum joe whooped Jones easy

LetsTalkSense1 Yes he did say that, and i agree. Any boxer being talked about by the late, great Manny is indeed high praise. 👍

Made me laugh when Carl Froch called him out even though he had retired. The problem for Froch was what had he won/done to even deserve to be in the same ring as Joe? Pshhh!!!!!

silverGTO TwinTurbo Yep, and at no point was CF the best in his division, Andre Ward ‘explained’ that to him relatively easily.

@@silvergtotwinturbo9984 exactly how was years ahead of froch , funny that froch didn't entertain s degale fight when he was the big dog in the division but he doesn't mention that

Absolutely spot on and the only British boxer in recent memory to retire undefeated??

No they dont, aj or fury win one kire belt at their weight and they achieved the same. Just took nearly ten years less doing it...

MEANDMYNINE_tm what was that about AJ? I agree about fury though. He could be on his way to greatness. But other than him no other active British fighter is close. It took joe so long because no one wanted the unification fights with him.

@@charliecamb aj only got to win the wbc and he got all belts a his weight. Like Joe. Like I said, just a lot sooner, no fannying about defending the wbo for a decade

Yeah way to reward a fighter who fought a cowardly resume. He fought rubbish for 90 percent of his fights and his two best opponents were in the wrong side of 40. Yet you’ll slag off Froch who actually took on Ward. What’s wrong with UK boxing fans ??

@@meandmynine_tm9684 Meanwhile AJ got knocked out by an out of shape Mexican!!! He won it back in the rematch; but can't see him ever going in against TYSON FURY or DEONTAY WILDER!!! WURZO 2020 - 1968 -

lennox, prince naseem, nigel benn, chris eubank sr & calzaghe, put em in any order you want.

Not even top ten

@@meandmynine_tm9684 lmao you're cooked

He has never beaten a big-name fighter in his prime😴😴.. British people just say shit because he's white and British😂😂.. dude stayed away from everyone in their primes. Roy Jones Jr would've smoked this guy.

@@traplivesmatter1462 Lmao you're a simpleton. He did beat Roy Jones Jr, & if he was so past his prime why is he literally STILL fighting & that was actually Calzaghe's last fight? Keep making excuses though you moron.

It did piss me off how Jones ran away from him 10 years prior. Jones only fought him when he had nowhere else to go.

He was at his peak, that year he had his highest ring p4p rank of 3rd and threw the most punches in any of his fights. What's more prime than that for him. Show me

@@Mitjitsu 10 years prior Joe had an unofficial belt that was not recognised until 2007. Why would Jones fight for an unofficial belt for no money when he was winning real belts left right and centre. Thats some dumb shit pal

@@meandmynine_tm9684 look lad I'm not interested in any DUMB SHIT you want to talk about ! Iv said all I'm going to say on this , I merely applauded Calzaghe on his humble approach in HIMSELF saying Roy was on the way down , if you don't like it , take it up with Calzaghe, I don't give a rats ass what you think pal Peace out

Wtf are you talking about. He fought tomato cans and 40 plus year old Americans. He’s kaughed at as a cherry picker and you say this rubbish

Roy jones fight was better

J p Roy was wayyyyyyy past. The Kessler fight was his best.

His victory over a prime Kessler was super impressive.

The hopkins win was his best fight by far. He was 43 but still arguably in his prime

oldgonzo22 hall of famer but not an atg. Carl Froch resume is probably better than Calzaghe’s is he an atg? fuck no

Hof does not equal atg!

No he’s not an ATG. Not even close. Not enoug big fights against live prime comp.

@@checkandbalance2903 stfu look where he's at and look at you foh

@@checkandbalance2903 46-0 end of discussion keep your shitty ass opinion to yourself bitch

Not even top 20 of this era. Fought nobodies and past prime fighters. Barely got past 43 year old Hopkins and he’s the best of the era ??

Hopkins unified the division for the AFTER Calzaghe dominates him. So when was Hopkins Prime & who was better than Calzaghe that he didn’t beat??

@@checkandbalance2903 dont talk fucking shit he beat EVERYONE

Frank Lucas he didn’t dominate Hopkins.

@@checkandbalance2903 facts bro, these clowns don't know shit

Looking very well for his age too

Why does it matter if ur black

@@mazzinas5610 It matters cause this is how you oppose racism.

@@mazzinas5610 you absolute tit

I think Lacy suffered a serious rotator cuff injury after that fight and was never the same again. It made him look a lot worse than he really was in the years after.

Lacy was taken to school by Calzaghe, but in all honesty I felt bad for tough guy Lacy with his career destroying cuff injury. He was a genuinely good fighter, and didn’t deserve that.

Passed away start of the year

Why would you need to duck people when your setting up fights with nobodies? His two best fights jones/Hopkins were exhibitions. Embarrassing. Never fought a great in a title fight. Guy didn't want too!

@james Andthegiantpeach he also defended a belt not officially recognised until 2007 21 times. Who the fuck was he fighting?

I think so too. If joe actually had the balls to step up and fight him after being publicly called out.

Winston Churchill a painful one. I don’t know if he would have survived with his poor defense.

MEANDMYNINE_tm joe was retired and 40 years old. Froch had no balls to fight Joe in his prime and lost to Joes leftover in Kessler.

Calzaghe was 37

@TRUMP MAGA how old was clazghe he wasn't 39 A prime eubank would of beat calzaghe. Eubank fought calzaghe with 2 weeks notice and out of his prime and Calzaghe in interview said Eubank he's toughest ever openent. Anyone that knows boxing knows a prime Jones Jr beats calzaghe all experts agree.
