I can't believe that he has put his unbeaten record on the line like this. :)

Maybe he'll win! Wasn't his dad a dancer?

he seems to really be cashing in doesn't he.

every time you turn on the telly it seems like the greatest british fighter ever is on the tube

soon, barber shops across the UK will be filled with talk of joe calzaghe

Bruce Forsyth is a legend and his best years are way behind him.

Standard Calzaghe fodder of late. Though Joe should be careful as Brucie's footwork is still pretty good.

good chin AND footwork?

joe may want to think twice about this one. is he sure the risk/reward measures up?

He'll probably get injured a couple of weeks before and pull out.

Realistically if JC has lost a couple of million through the FW case he needs to keep up a high profile for the cash otherwise he will be forced into fighting again

shame the charismatic one wasn't this visible in his peak fighting years

LOL imagine Enzo Calzaghe on Strictly come Dancing!

Robin Reid priced himself out.

You live according to your means and 2 miilion is a big hit when you have a greedy ex missus, a few kids and a fancy lifestyle to upkeep.
Did he actually bank as much as that?
What is your take on how this case will go?

Of course its only a matter of time before the amount of camera time his missus has managed to get via All Star Mr and Mrs, Fifth Gear and Beat the Star [where I swear she was on it more than him] will lead to her being booked as a celebrity on her own. That might be the ultimate plan, she's really got the startled look required down pat too.

I just hope Joe gets Ola. She may need to work on a new expression to witness that. As Mel Gibson said to Patsy Kensit "batter up".

How does Strictly Come Dancing work? Do they handpick opponents for him to dance against?

They get 11 celebrities to dance with 11 pro skaters and then 1 by 1 they go out not that i watch it or anything

Calzaghe won't be able to dance if he continues to shoot himself in the foot like this:

DOH # 1

Independent on Sunday 29/10/07 Steve Bunce; "Joe, What annoys you?" Joe; "Stupid celebrities in the papers and magazines all the time really annoy me. They're famous for what? Nothing, Getting their Tits out somewhere (Err..his Girlfriend for example) It's rubbish and don't get me started on reality celebrities, They are Shit."

DOH # 2
The Times 04/12/06 'There will be no faustian pact with Bruce Forsyth'....... Calzaghe: "I was asked to go on Strictly Come Dancing but I'd be embarrassed by the Trousers

DOH # 3

Daily Mail 25/12/07 Following his SPOTY award.....Joe said "There are more commercial opportunities for me now because of this award. But I would NEVER do something like Strictly Come Dancing."

So here we are June 8th 2009 and what is JC up to now......Well, he's shacked up with a bird who is famous for.....er....."Getting her Tits out" and guess what, He'll be wearing the embarrassing trousers on Strictly Come Dancing too, "I'd never do that".

If anyone remembers his little jig on the way to the Ring against Sakio Bika and then during the fight, they will know he won't have much chance of winning it either.....Diversity needn't worry!

"Jones jr is shot to pieces - what would I gain from being the 3rd man to knock him out?"

I'm just waiting on the quotes now.

Joe Calzaghe and fancy lifestyle ?

I don't think so sunshine.

Well as JC has still got a few quid people should be allowed to rip him off then!

Yes, but if you take away his Dad's 10%, the taxman's 50% and the 4(?) mill. divorce settlement, you can see he might have to don either the dancing trousers or the boxing shorts once again.

what like John sargent. Seeing as Joes on I might watch this years show. I usually watch the X Factor but this looks more appealing.
