Undefeated world super-middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe has announced his retirement from boxing.

The Welshman won all 46 of his professional bouts, the last being an emphatic points victory over Roy Jones Jnr last November.

Admitting the decision to hang up his gloves was one of the toughest of his life, the 36-year-old insisted he had "no more mountains to climb".

Calzaghe calls it quits

So there we have it, arguably the finest boxer from the UK retires undefeated in his professional career.

Congrats Joe.

There were some rematches he should have had, most boxers dance around with the idea until the publicity gets up about a grudge match and they milk it for money. He skipped the part where you fight and make the extra money. But it was a good career overall.

They survive without brain damage long enough to retire these days? For shame.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Giggs is the most popular Welshman ever tbh, the most famous thing '27 has ever done is be arrested for disturbing the peace and provoking ethnic tensions at cardiff/swansea matches and surgeons is surgeons, member of the year on bf2s, that's his claim to fame

I wish Giggs was mate but probably not the case, this land is still obsessed with bastards egg chasing (yeah ok if we win it again I might big them up) but it's still Gareth Edwards this, Neil Jenkins that down here.

Countray to Mek's statements I have never been arrested - Im still to quick, no bastard coppa gonna take me alive. The only peice I have ever disturbed is the one that dangles from my bollocks. And what a might fine piece it is I wish to add.

Lives in L.A with 'our Shirl' so as far as Im concerned they ain't Welsh, they both been out there going orange for 30 years or so now I reckon.

I could never argue about the fact I detest the people of Swansea, or at least the football supporting ones. I play hockey against them and fucking hate them aswell, I hate playing vs students cos they are gobby twats, mix them with the fact they are representing the shithole called Swansea and Im gonna smash a few.

They bang on about Liverpool/Everton and Rangers/Celtic even Newcastle/Sunderland but all those guys return to the factories on a Monday and work together. That dosen't happen here. Football loving Cardiff/Swansea fans just dont mix, wether thats in work or on a night out, or anything. The football brings the politics into play. The same can be said for Cardiff/Bristol City (not rovers) but due to the bridge there is a bit less tension but then the Wales/England thing gets brought into play.

Ryan Giggs would fall in the top 3 though, I'd say it goes like this:

1. The Sheriff
2. Joe
3. Ryan

Check this fella out on 1st name terms, until you have Sheriff's 1st name you cant claim to be in with the legends of Wales.
