    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.

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.
