Joe Calzaghe Fighting Quotations

Lots of things can also happen between now and then (November 5th), not least among them injuries. I have had problems with my hand and back on and off over the years, which is hardly surprising when you have been fighting since the age of nine like I have. My left hand swells up after almost every fight.

[Tyson] Fury is big and [Wladimir] Klitschko's not used to fighting someone his size. If Fury can stop Klitschko grabbing and avoid that big right hand, he's got a chance. In the heavyweight division, it only takes one punch.

The lacy fight was a career defining fight.

I love the big fights. Obviously you can't fight just for the money but the money is nice.

The Eubank fight was my hardest fight.

Lacy was a pleasurable fight. It wasn't my hardest fight because I won every single minute of every single round.

My lowest points was getting injured and pulling out of fights.

I've been boxing for 25 years and I need exciting fights.

He's a sore loser and he lost the fight.

I'm devastated with the injury but I've proved my heart and skill to everyone by fighting one handed for eight rounds.

I feel blessed that I managed to fight 46 fights undefeated, that I was a world champion for 11 years, one of the longest reigning champions of all time and I like to think that I come out looking pretty good.

I honestly think that a Pavlik fight would be easier than Jones because styles make fights. He's one dimensional, comes in straight lines, I love that.

He's gonna try and stand back, mess me about a bit, be cagey and hold on the inside and make it one of them fights that are boring. I don't wanna make a boring fight. I don't like to be involved in boring fights!
