Calzaghe never got the recognition he deserved here in the US because he destroyed every American fighter that challenged him and is the best ever in his class.
almost every opponent joe fought was cut and had muscle definition,joe looked lean and undescerning,no big and ripped muscles,but boy was his workrate amazing,always busy always seemed to have plenty in the tank,a one off fighter.
This was a clinical and masterful performance by Calzaghe. Every time I watch him I'm astonished by his speed, fitness, ability and strength. He was a brute in the ring, the complete fighting machine; he never stopped coming forward, and knocking him back just made him come forward more. Pound for pound, the greatest boxer this country has ever produced. And he's Welsh. Cymru am byth!
Calzaghe and Sheika were originally supposed to fight on the De La Hoya - Trinidad undercard in Las Vegas 1999, but it get delayed because of Calzaghe injury. Maybe it would have gotten Joe more notice in the U.S. years before he did. Good job by Joe here, as someone else noted here, Sheika was seen as a real up and comer at this point in his career.
Referee did the right thing. Calzaghe eventually beats you with a thousand punches. So accurate, such great timing, not a massive hitter but eventually knocks the life out of opponents.
this was a good decision to stop the fight before Omar landed in hospital from brain damage. Joe was holding back a tactic i havnt yet seen him do yet right up to the last round here, though ive only wtched about 5 fights so far. He is a real talent. way to quick for most. watching in slo mo you see him move as soon as the guy loads one up on him but by the time he leavs Joe is making a planed combo and is anticipating opponents next move. what a top shelfer bro.
Hardly a mark on Calzaghe unbeatably the best in his time he had to stop power punching later in career due to damaged hands yet still destroyed people. , totally unbeatable too fast, to aggressive and iron jaw !
WOW! what a great fight. Really feel for Sheika in this one, he had plenty of fight left in him but for an accidental clash of heads that just happened to happen in a really bad spot that cost him the fight.
It was always gonna be a tall order for any SMW in history to step in against Joe. Sheika had guts and the will to keep fighting despite being hurt, but the ref spared him of the kind of ass whooping your grandchildren feel, so I'd say it was a good stoppage with one of the fighters' well being in mind

Joe Calzaghe s.cardio output was on another level from anybody
Greatest fighter in the history of boxing.

Calzaghes work coming out of a clinch is quality, you need to be switched on at all times ....quality !!
Sheika's only loss going into this fight was a disputed decision against Tony Booth...who infamously only lasted 3 days in camp sparring Calzaghe.
Always get goose pimples watching Joe

Good fight, Joe doesn't get a fraction of the recognition he derserves.
Another one to pad Joe's inflated record along with:
Fight of the year in my opinion.
