I saw Enzo in Blackwood Asda. He said he was looking for his wife. I said, joking, 'try the shoe aisle', and we both laughed. Saw him again at the tills and he said 'you were right'. True story.
I met Mike Tyson and his wife in a elevator at a hotel in Phoenix, Az in 2011, he said hello and his wife nodded hello. He said "You with that wedding?" I said yes, he said, "you all are playing good music." I was going to invite him to my cousin's wedding reception but the doors opened he said "you all have fun!" and walked out. I just stood there like, "I just spoke to Mike Tyson! Hahaha.
I would've but I as so nervous and excited by the encounter. Believe me, I think about that ever since. His wife took our picture and you can see in my face I was a nervous wreck. He was a very cordial and nice couple.
I met Joe Calzaghe in Cardiff when I was living there. He was with his son and my mate spotted him and asked if he could take a picture of me with him because I'm a big fan. I thought it was perhaps a bit cheeky but Joe didn't mind at all. He put his arm around me and put on a big smile for the picture then chatted to me for a couple of minutes gave me a hug and said "thanks for the support mate". I don't give one what other people think about him. He's a legendary boxer and a true gentleman!
From what ive heard hes a cocky twat but i think i would be too,i can tell you for nothing the biggest twat in wales who represents us is gavin henson what a knob he is!
why so much hate for calzaghe? 46-0 former WBO, IBF, WBC, WBA, He held the WBO for 10 years with 21 defences which is the longest ever at super middleweight. He also spanked lacy who was meant to be the next big thing... it's a shame the top boys in the states refused to fight him.
+Dinglebell you forgot ring magazine champion too which incredibly seems to be worth more than all those world title organisation belts.. incredible fighter incredible heart, injuries ruined him could of fought on for a lot longer as he had unbelievable stamina but the hand just wouldn't hold up and he lost power due to it later in his career
sadly calz time was when most of the most popular middweights were retired or past there prime... even those who were active werent that special tbh im not saying that his a fake champ but the competition at that time made him look like a normal champ.
Ok il break it down only cause ur a nob. 1. He fought a bunch of tomato cans.2. Always fought in wales or Europe. 3. Only fought out of country when he knew jones and bhop were shells of their former selves4. Win against bhop highly controversial and point blank REFUSED to give a rematch stating ' I don't do rematches ' lol like wtf?? 5. Refused to fight Pavlik who at that time was in his prime and a big name6. Lacy only had 17 fights when slappy fought him and again in wales. 7. Fought an old jones who still dropped slappy in rnd 1. 8. In the 90s jones was the p4p top 5 possibly even number 1 so he was the cash cow and didn't need to chase ANY European fighter especially on foreign turf and slappy refused to travel to try and unify the titles. And tbh I could go on we in the states or America don't really respect like u brits do however I do recognise him to be a talented fighter who slapped da shit out of people but no way a great and I don't give a flying fuck what he unified as his record is full of shit!
+Chris Bako I don't think that was the point of the story. What he's trying to say is that coming from a world champ who trained himself in a wooden tool shed him and his dad especially were very dissalussioned with the whole fake plastic celebrity act that some of these hyped up boxers get into especially coming from a bum fighter Tyson who was looking down at a fighter like Joe who in his short time of 2 bouts in Las Vegas managed to defeat more hall of farmers than in mikes entire career so it was very disrespectful for him to not even recognise Joe.
@chris Um....being a badass has nothing to do with whether he could take Tyson in a fight, ya dense plonker. The fact that despite his small stature he had no qualms with putting one of the most feared boxers (feared because of both raw power and aggressive, unpredictable temperament) in check for such a minor breach of etiquette. That, my dear feeble-minded fellow, is a badass!
my brother and his mate who worked at currys installed joe's tv at his house, let them stay at his house for like 3 hours chatting having a laugh etc. took pictures with them
Nothing wrong with what Calzaghe said. He spoke his experience with Tyson. Tyson is a little crazy. Just look at the tattoo on his face. That just about says it all. But , he's a nice dude.
I used to box, so I am aware of the regiment. Even if I never boxed, I don't think that would disqualify me from commenting on Calzaghe, so long as I am a boxing fan who has some knowledge of his career and the sport itself. I respect people here who make comments, but may not have boxed before. Also, I didn't comment on his work ethic, just his career. By your calculus, no one would be able to ever comment about any boxer, because of the grueling training they go through.
Can you imagine the fuss they would have made of Calzaghe if he was English instead of Welsh? the English media show more respect to Frank Bruno or Henry Cooper who won fuck all, but happened to be a cockney and put Ali on his arse . Calzaghe is awesome.
Not to mention the fact that he's half-Italian with an Italian surname and Italian facial features. Maybe he's not "British" enough to be crowned by Britain.
The media dont show bruno much respect compared to joe. people like bruno because he is a character, a one off. joe gets a lot of respect as a boxer, but hes not a celebrity. media cares more about celebrity than acheivment. nothing to do with being welsh
I'm not sure of everyone else's reasons, but my gripe is that he had the talent to come over to the U.S. earlier. The U.S. is where all the elite fighters come to settle who's best, at least for everything above flyweight. My second problem is that he still had a lot left in the tank when he retired. A lot of the opponents on his record were no bodies, and with his last two fights he was starting to make a real case for his talent. As a result, people are left to question him.
I understand people not giving calzaghe credit for the Jones fight let's be honest it was one last payday before he retired but Hopkins fight as close as it was he deserves full credit and to be recognised for it Hopkins has got better with age and even now 5 years on is a very dangerous fighter
Everyone only sees the world through their eyes, can't comprehend not wanting to take a picture???? If im in a bad mood I don't want anyone near me, and I ain't been through half the shit Mike Tyson has or deals with daily, especially back then.
Calzaghe was a good boxer (on a scale of 1 to 10, he was 7.5 maybe), even if he ended his career undefeated... Never really fought nobody... In my opinion, he was just a fucking slapper... P.S. For the guy saying that he was the best UK boxer of all times, pull yourself together mate: everyone knows, that was Lenox fucking Lewis...
Cryer24597 Math does lie sometimes mate... Fighting bums won't make him a legend. His only fight was against Roy Jones Jr who already was a corpse (and Joe got punished). He is a good British boxer, but nothing special...
You'd be surprised exactly how complicated Mike's life was. I've done weeks worth of research on the guy, and his life was one hell of a mess. It was all good up until Cus died, then he fell into a state of rage and sadness due to his insecurities that eventually led to clubbing, fucking women, doing drugs, and drinking like a fish to cope. He has autism (Autistic people get obsessed over things they find interesting. Some Autistic people love sonic the hedgehog, Mike loved boxing) so he had a very fragile social shell that came crashing in around him because one person after another fucked his life up. His legal guardian and best friend died, he was about to call the world heavyweight championship fight because he didn't have the heart for it anymore, his wife degraded him on public television and then divorced him, Don King screwed him out of what must have been close to a billion dollars, by the time he had been undisputed champ he was only fighting for the money and had grown to hate what the sport had become (he says he walked into the ring to fight Buster Douglas after spending 2 weeks doing nothing but fucking Japanese groupies and doing drugs because he just didn't care anymore) that one groupie claimed he raped her and he was convicted to 6 years in prison (look into her, and then look at Iron Mike... It isn't hard to tell that he wasn't the type of guy that would rape a woman. You think he HAD to rape anyone? He was IRON FUCKING MIKE, he could have made more money charging women to smash than he made boxing back then). He spent literally every dime he made on dumb shit just because he was trying to fill a bottomless void in himself, and even today when he's 3 million (estimated) in debt with the IRS, he will tell you he's a billion times happier now than he was back then, and he wouldn't go back to that lifestyle even if he could. Oh, and his 4 year old daughter was found strangulated by a treadmill at his ex wife's house back in 2008...
That is very true, but then again I wouldn't consider Calzaghe to be in his prime when he fought Jones either. I do understand why people would think he dodged some serious competition in his career, but a record of 46-0 still speaks for it's self i think.
@Zer0nite Even now I believe Tyson would over power him, not just that I was actually talking about Tysons prime.. Tyson was unbeatable in the earlie stages of his life he could of took on anyone including Cal
Great boxer....but Welsh! no disrespect to the welsh either. But that is the reason with the british london obsessed media why he wasn't more revered, And i'm english as well. Make no mistake about it Joe was one of the finest boxers these islands ever produced and a true great on the world stage.
What you're saying is true, but to use Calzaghe's age as a marker is disingenuous. Clearly Hopkins had a tougher career, and his body was a lot more worn. Calzaghe hardly fought anyone of note until his last three fights. His body was still fresh. Moreover, Hopkins was going between middleweight, super middleweight, and light heavyweight classes by the time he fought Calzaghe, which also takes its toll. Calzaghe stayed at super middleweight almost his entire career.
Calzaghe was training for his next fight in the same place Tyson was, when Calzaghe heard about this he wanted his picture taken with him. Being a fellow fighter himself he expected a mutual respect from Tyson, like a lot of fighters usually do have for each other. But Tyson just sat there and didn't smile and seemed uninterested when Calzaghe's father was taking the picture of him and Tyson, so Calzaghe's father said "Are you going to smile then...!?" Tyson being the big crazy intimidating guy he is and Calzaghe's father only being small, Calzaghe thought Tyson was going to rip his head off. But Tyson just calmly said "I've had a long day man, i'm pretty tired..." Calzaghe met Tyson later and noted how different and friendly he was to him afterwards, with Tyson asking him about his life and family, he seemed completely different. Calzaghe also thought he was a bit of a crazy character when Tyson ranted on about Don King screwing him over, calling Don King a mother fucker and saying he wanted to eat his Don's children!.
Some fighters are old in their mid thirties, others are young till there early 40's. Roy went up to Heavyweight and sacrificed his speed when he came down. Joe was still at his best at 36, he beat a washed up dried out 39 year old Jones. If Roy was Peak and Joe was peak, Roy's speed and power would have left Calzaghe with a 45-1 record, Also, the b-hop of the late 90's would have left Joe with a 44-2 record. Joe fought them as old men to make his career look flashier. Top fighter still though.
lets have it right he got avoided and then the american fighters come late in his carear lacy for instance only fought him cos they he was over the hill and would decline cos of his age..never understood why people talk shit about him cos he was unbeaten till the end
You seemed to take my last comment out of context. The best fighters from all over the world come to the US to fight, meaning the competition is not just American. That said, Jones and Hopkins were certainly not the best the US had to offer in the way of competition at that time. Lacy fought Calzaghe in the UK and was a B class fighter, which is in line with my previous remarks about Calzaghe. 2 worn and 1 untested American fighters is a far cry from putting the best Americans in front of you.
Joe Calzaghe is a great boxer - retired undefeated 46-0 - probably could have found 4 'easy' fights to break Rocky Marciano's record but way too classy to do that (not that any pro fight is easy - but for a fighter of Joe's caliber there probably is).
Why didn't he fight RJJ when he was 29? Or Hopkins when he was younger? Typical Euro move---come to America and fight their legends after they get old. Lennox Lewis did that too. Hatton gets respect, at least he came over and fought our best in his prime at age 29/30 against Mayweather. And the result of that fight is why they don't come over in their prime. :)
Indicative of the flaws(Tyson) which were so graphically exposed by above all; Evander Holyfield....he(Tyson) would have done well to have studied the fights and character of Joe Calzaghe; i am in no doubt he would have had a more successful career....a truth many of the feeble and jaundiced of mind will find hard to swallow.
Tyson at his best under. Cus D Amato was a seek and destroy fighter. he beat the best of that time. peaple do forget too quick. everyone had a plan........until they got hit
This was a funny story, but the bleeping got really annoying... when someone swears as much as Joe is here, you might as well just not run the censored clip if all you're going to hear is BLLEEEEP!
From all the stories that are told about Mike, this one is most boring one. Dude you dont have A Mike Tyson story! This is waste of time listening this!

Should have invited Tyson and had him walk in to the reception and accuse the groom of hitting on his wife.

Joe and his Dad are legendary! They make me laugh
Calzaghe Legend
Joe is one of the greatest of his generation ,what a legend enzo was
Joe is the best boxer to come from the UK so far.
Jimmy Wilde imo
If he were English - best boxer to come from England, if he's from Wales - best boxer to come from the UK
Aj
He never fought Collins and Collins bashed Eubank, Benn, etc.
Chris Ubank?

Can we keep crops, milking and egg laying out of boxing please.

Mr calzaghe just visited our boxing gym this evening. Everyone got a pic taken. Thank you joe
my brother and his mate who worked at currys installed joe's tv at his house, let them stay at his house for like 3 hours chatting having a laugh etc. took pictures with them
He was an amazing fighter wish he had a couple off more fights

He says Tyson ghas a girly voice.

Calzaghe was always missing something regarding marketability. His fights were also pretty boring.
Raymondspongey cooper would have beaten the shit out of Ali if that little rat coach Dundee didn’t tear his gloves and give Ali smelling salts.
Chris Birch calzaghe boring? Your having a laugh 😂
The media dont show bruno much respect compared to joe. people like bruno because he is a character, a one off. joe gets a lot of respect as a boxer, but hes not a celebrity. media cares more about celebrity than acheivment. nothing to do with being welsh
That is what passes for a story in Britain.
Haha thats funny, And every story should have a happy ending and thats Don King in the ring with Mike Tyson no holds barred!

22NiggaPlease you need to talk to sean, joes translator.
+mainlymusicman lol do Americans only understand English if it's being spoken in an American accent?! mugs..
I don't understand but am learning englisch and I will keep this memory of the best English boxer in history
YOUR THE MAN WHO NEW HOW THE GAME WORKS THE REAL CHAMPION
Calzage the Goat
One of the greatest
This is a funny story lol, but the best trait that Joe has is that with all his accomplishments the guy is still one of the most humble fighters.
I understand people not giving calzaghe credit for the Jones fight let's be honest it was one last payday before he retired but Hopkins fight as close as it was he deserves full credit and to be recognised for it Hopkins has got better with age and even now 5 years on is a very dangerous fighter
Eating the kids part he got that from Tyson yelling it to Lennox Lewis but that was 10 yrs later i think JOE is spinning a yarn
Cryer24597 ..you wanna bet
IwantAgoodCleanFight ..they sure did
pit man No that was 2 years later he said this was after the Julius Francis fight he probably did say it more than once
Lol😂😂
He didn't tell it at Lewis he said it in an interview, Joe was talking about the time Tyson said he wanted to eat don kings kids
Yes Tyson was very intimidating back in the day
Brilliant! :)
He was one hell of a boxer full stop
Joe's the best ever
Mikes gotten better with people in his old age.
Joe is the best boxer 👏👏👏
Everyone only sees the world through their eyes, can't comprehend not wanting to take a picture???? If im in a bad mood I don't want anyone near me, and I ain't been through half the shit Mike Tyson has or deals with daily, especially back then.

who is this guy?
Enzo was a legend
no he isn't complicated. He just hated Don King
rightfully so as well. king is a notorious dirtbag.
He should of ate his kids.
You'd be surprised exactly how complicated Mike's life was. I've done weeks worth of research on the guy, and his life was one hell of a mess. It was all good up until Cus died, then he fell into a state of rage and sadness due to his insecurities that eventually led to clubbing, fucking women, doing drugs, and drinking like a fish to cope.

Oh, and his 4 year old daughter was found strangulated by a treadmill at his ex wife's house back in 2008...
That is very true, but then again I wouldn't consider Calzaghe to be in his prime when he fought Jones either. I do understand why people would think he dodged some serious competition in his career, but a record of 46-0 still speaks for it's self i think.
@Persianlife Yeah, poor guy... having to live with all of those wins and no losses... he really needs some pity. Thanks for helpin' him with that.
With all his hand movements, he coulda been a rapper
Everyone has a funny story about Mike
Former undefeated ring magazine supermiddle weight champ
Was just thinking the same
@Zer0nite Even now I believe Tyson would over power him, not just that I was actually talking about Tysons prime.. Tyson was unbeatable in the earlie stages of his life he could of took on anyone including Cal
Great boxer....but Welsh! no disrespect to the welsh either. But that is the reason with the british london obsessed media why he wasn't more revered, And i'm english as well. Make no mistake about it Joe was one of the finest boxers these islands ever produced and a true great on the world stage.
Sardinian Welsh Southpaw, what a fuckin mix!!!! 46-0, a champion
Mike Tyson is my hero - he is 100% real.
What you're saying is true, but to use Calzaghe's age as a marker is disingenuous. Clearly Hopkins had a tougher career, and his body was a lot more worn. Calzaghe hardly fought anyone of note until his last three fights. His body was still fresh. Moreover, Hopkins was going between middleweight, super middleweight, and light heavyweight classes by the time he fought Calzaghe, which also takes its toll. Calzaghe stayed at super middleweight almost his entire career.
The Calzaghes got some balls. Respect.
Crazy Tyson, Talks about eating children and praises God in the same sentence.
Well. He took the pic. Damn. "Celebrity lives matter"
Right, like does he have to smile if he doesn't want to?
Top three UK fighter of all time. Calzaghe the man.
He's alright, but he's no Bob Fitzsimmons
@Persianlife why?
Tyson would rip Calzaghe's head off!
You didn't even know shit about calzaghe 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The best middle weight of his generation. And I'm not even Welsh
@Mike51020 it was just a joke, 'course I know who he is... :D
2:35 😂
Even the way he tells the story makes me think Mike Tyson was just fucking with him
Hahaha 😁
@primeboxers he fought boxers who were out of there primes and made a good living out of it ;-)
0:32 When ah............need motivation, my one solution is my queen cause she stay strong
I m french, is it possible that someone make a short summary of the story fir me? He soeaks too fast
Calzaghe was training for his next fight in the same place Tyson was, when Calzaghe heard about this he wanted his picture taken with him. Being a fellow fighter himself he expected a mutual respect from Tyson, like a lot of fighters usually do have for each other.
But Tyson just sat there and didn't smile and seemed uninterested when Calzaghe's father was taking the picture of him and Tyson, so Calzaghe's father said "Are you going to smile then...!?" Tyson being the big crazy intimidating guy he is and Calzaghe's father only being small, Calzaghe thought Tyson was going to rip his head off.
But Tyson just calmly said "I've had a long day man, i'm pretty tired..." Calzaghe met Tyson later and noted how different and friendly he was to him afterwards, with Tyson asking him about his life and family, he seemed completely different.
Calzaghe also thought he was a bit of a crazy character when Tyson ranted on about Don King screwing him over, calling Don King a mother fucker and saying he wanted to eat his Don's children!.
Sean ladies and gentlemen it Sean, Joe Calzaghe's translator...
LMAO
This eating Don Kings kids bit never happened did it Joe? Lets be honest, ya ripped that off of his Lennox Lewis speech after the Savarese fight.
@IMikeTysonI Nah, not really. Which one of them can still hold their own in the ring?
Mike Tyson would whooped he's ass in a fight Still think can't conpared himself with mike Tyson
Some fighters are old in their mid thirties, others are young till there early 40's. Roy went up to Heavyweight and sacrificed his speed when he came down. Joe was still at his best at 36, he beat a washed up dried out 39 year old Jones. If Roy was Peak and Joe was peak, Roy's speed and power would have left Calzaghe with a 45-1 record, Also, the b-hop of the late 90's would have left Joe with a 44-2 record. Joe fought them as old men to make his career look flashier. Top fighter still though.
Yeah thanks for that “riveting” story Joe
its difficult to understand the full story. for the foreigner.
starts at 0:30
lets have it right he got avoided and then the american fighters come late in his carear lacy for instance only fought him cos they he was over the hill and would decline cos of his age..never understood why people talk shit about him cos he was unbeaten till the end
You seemed to take my last comment out of context. The best fighters from all over the world come to the US to fight, meaning the competition is not just American. That said, Jones and Hopkins were certainly not the best the US had to offer in the way of competition at that time. Lacy fought Calzaghe in the UK and was a B class fighter, which is in line with my previous remarks about Calzaghe. 2 worn and 1 untested American fighters is a far cry from putting the best Americans in front of you.
Wow! First boring Tyson story ever... I never thought I would see the day!
1:44
Not bad
hahahaha
you say that, but he beat every american put in front of him. Roy Jones jr, Hopkins and Lacy to name three.
Excuse the pun ,but where is the punchline?
Where's the fun of it?
why people jealous for him...lol
Joe Calzaghe is a great boxer - retired undefeated 46-0 - probably could have found 4 'easy' fights to break Rocky Marciano's record but way too classy to do that (not that any pro fight is easy - but for a fighter of Joe's caliber there probably is).
What's with the silly bleeps
tyson respect olders at list which is not the case of everyone he could have eazily smash joe's dad he didnt its called respect
Why didn't he fight RJJ when he was 29? Or Hopkins when he was younger? Typical Euro move---come to America and fight their legends after they get old. Lennox Lewis did that too. Hatton gets respect, at least he came over and fought our best in his prime at age 29/30 against Mayweather. And the result of that fight is why they don't come over in their prime. :)
What language is he speaking?
He's speaking English in a very broad Welsh accent.
+Andres Astor lol
He's speaking some East Tatooine Jawa.
I can’t understand a word he’s saying other than “fuckin”
wake up son
Joe is nowhere near one of the most well known boxers. I could ask 500 people and maybe 2 would be like "I think I saw him in that Fight Night game"
Indicative of the flaws(Tyson) which were so graphically exposed by above all; Evander Holyfield....he(Tyson) would have done well to have studied the fights and character of Joe Calzaghe; i am in no doubt he would have had a more successful career....a truth many of the feeble and jaundiced of mind will find hard to swallow.
@gorillawarfare786
Replying to you, would only make me feel less intelligent.
Keep it up bad boy x
@primeboxers FEATHER FISTED???? yeah right
Tyson at his best under. Cus D Amato was a seek and destroy fighter. he beat the best of that time. peaple do forget too quick. everyone had a plan........until they got hit
Everyone is bringing up him beating Jones jr and B Hop but lets not forget he and Pavlik were both dodging a PRIME GGG for almost a decade ffs!
Big Country Do you actually follow boxing?
This was a funny story, but the bleeping got really annoying... when someone swears as much as Joe is here, you might as well just not run the censored clip if all you're going to hear is BLLEEEEP!
Joe Calzaghe. All time legend. Froch will go down as a good champion. But not on this bloke's levrl.
You need a new sound guy, dude. That loop was atrocious.
From all the stories that are told about Mike, this one is most boring one. Dude you dont have A Mike Tyson story! This is waste of time listening this!
Ends at 0:30 too. Not much of a "story."
Mike Tyson would fuck joe cowardzaghe up
If I could understand what u are saying to begin with..
@IMikeTysonI Ali woulda taken him out ;D
@HomelessRichGuy Oh hello from 9 years ago.
