Another good fight of his was against a couple ofbother Americans called Byron Mitchell, Omar Shieka , Jeff Lacy is the one most people know him from, and a few good British fighters who he had good fights against were Robin Reid, Richie Woodhall , Chris Eubank and Europeans like Mario Veit twice (in the first one he destroyed him in one round but Veit was undefeated in 30 so everyone was sure that they were going to see something happen and they did, And they did right about the time Calzaghe blew him away ),Mikkel Kessler was a really good fight and for me Kessler who was also undefeated and in his prime (but in a wholedifferentleagueto Veit) ,I mean Kessler was an undefeated two belt holding and he was 27 years old prime age at the time whereas Calzaghe was about 34 or 35 that's why I rate that win so much gave probably the best performance of any opposition that Calzaghe came up against a prime young hungry, real ,good champion who no-one could deny and after and Kessler did regain a version of the title a couple of times si that provedthat he wasn'ta hype job, while Calzaghe moved up to Light Heavyweight there are a few more Good fights of his that I can't think of but u should check them out man, 💯🥊👊😎✌
the sound of punches in this match are unbelievably heavy and constant, they were both motivated, and Brewer was a good boxer, Calzaghe was a beast! You won't find as many matches like these on the web! Very generous match from both! I think this was perhaps the best match of Calzaghe, for constant power and defense expressed, he removed the remaining doubts from the hard people to convince! That day he would beat anyone!
@@cameroncopus9737 One of the british greats, definitely, but probably not the best ever. The best ever might be fellow welshman jimmy wilde. He holds the record for boxing's unbeaten streak (not chavez, as many seem to think), going unbeaten in his first 95 fights, and finishing with 131 wins against 3 defeats. He's usually regarded as the greatest flyweight ever. I'd certainly put joe up there, post ww2
This fight was the reason Bernard Hopkins pulled out of a fight with Calzaghe later in the year. Agreed the purse, agreed the American venue.... Hopkins knew he wasnt big enough to bully Calzaghe. He ducked it.
yes but his blood is Italian so he is a mediocre boxer!do you still insist? the world above does not like Italians, how should they make you understand?
Was Welsh so didn't get the media attention he would had he been English but without a doubt one of boxings greats and by far the UKs greatest champion.
@@nigelbase1196 so he's gone from well respected to outstanding. He is by far Britains greatest ever boxer but how often was his name mentioned on TV or in the so called national news papers compared to nigel benn, chis eubank, frank bruno, etc, etc? He is still not accepted as the best ever british fighter by the media. Had he been English everyone would have known about him like the far less successful boxers mentioned above.
Jo kalzagh to me is a fantastic boxer and he's right I. What he as said people should receive him he is world class me I think Jo kalzagh as never been fort world class in America jo kalzagh should be knighted as sir jo kalzagh yours Ziggy Nesta Marley from the Leicestershire countryside in ENGLAND God bless you Jo kalzagh
Quiere decir que Chávez le pegó dos veces a Mayweather cuando Mayweather estaba en su momento y le ganó por tko , kotya agarro ya viejo a Mayweather y kle ganó por desición si Chávez kestya peleaban cuando Chávez estaba joven Chávez no pierde
I'm a big fan of Calzaghe but I didn't like his cynical holding of Brewer's left arm on the inside from round 8 onwards. It was presumably because Brewer hurt Calzaghe with half a dozen good shots late in the previous round. Brewer should have been smarter and, as the commentators said, not walk in without throwing, but Calzaghe should have been warned by the referee in my opinion, it was cheating and at odds with the very honest and admirable way they both fought early on, with the referee barely having to step in.
