Well Done Joe

Was delighted that Joe Calzaghe won the Sports Personality of the Year award. Thought he was a complete outsider after being overlooked for so many years.

Great to see that we've recognised one of our few sporting winners. 10 years as world champion. As unbelievable record.

joe Calzaghe has stayed champion for 10 years because he has always managed to avoid fighting anyone decent.
Fair play to Ricky Hatton for going over to Vegas and having a go at the best in the world, rumour has it, he is fighting De La Hoya next.

De La Hoya's fought at higher weights and would be too strong for Hatton who wasn't comfortable at welterweight. I'd retire if I was him. Calzaghe's 36, beaten everyone and has never really got the recognition he deserved because he's not very media-friendly.

Hatton did struggle when moving up to Welterweight.
Calzaghe hasnt helped himself by only fighting outside of Wales a couple of times. He needs to go to Vegas and Fight Bernard Hopkins, then he will put himself on the map

Yes - let's see if he could win well in the USA. Hopkins would be tough.
