- April 23rd, 2008
On Saturday Joe Calzaghe probably boxed himself into the world-class category for the first time when the Welshman beat Bernard Hopkins on a split-points decision.
This won’t be noted in the annuls of Joe’s career as his greatest victory but by defeating a fighter who has shown time and time again to be true great it might be enough to seal his name in the pages of boxing history.
There is no doubt the Italian Dragon has won more impressively but whereas his opponents before have be very good they have not been names that the man in the street will necessarily remember in twenty years.
‘The Executioner’ has been there and done it. Like Calzaghe he was a champion for a long time and has beaten the best. Granted he is now very much at the tail-end of his career but so is Calzaghe and the two were evenly matched.
The manner of the victory was not convincing and getting knocked down in the first round is always a bit of a black mark. But the reason why this will hoist the 35-year-old into the upper realms of pugilist royalty was not whom he beat but the adversity he overcame.He stepped up in weight for the first time conquered the hostile Vegas conditions in his first visit and didn’t let Hopkins inside his head as many have done before him.
Next for the Welshman is probably Roy Jones Jr – a win over him might see the Calzaghe become a legend.
