Find it suprising as he does have Italian descent.

Although genetics his old man hasn't got the greatest head of hear.
Having said that, it could be the Welsh side of his genes - Tom Jones has gone through some pretty drastic action (scalp reduction surgery) and Ian Woosnam's clearly got some assistance with his new hairline.

Calzaghe had a full head of hair also at that age.
Giggs' hair is on the wane also.

hair is no indication of failure as a pugilist. george foreman won the world heavyweight title when he was as bald as a badger

Has anybody ever seen a bald badger?
Don`t know who got it wrong originally but wouldn`t as grey as a badger be more fitting?

Bald as a Badger?
I always say Bald as a Coot - I believe a Coot is a bird, but not sure what it looks like.

Talking about genetics: did Enzo Calzaghe suffer some kind of childhood illness?
His short arms make him look like a mild thalidomide victim.

as bald as a badger refers to the white part in between the two black edges of a badgers colouration giving the beast an appearance of baldness. it's the alliteration Bald/Badger and the fact that the badger is not bald - is in fact rather hirsute - that makes this phrase one of my favourites and much funnier than "bald as a coot"

In fact, the phrase is "as bald as a badger's arse" referring to the white patch on it's backside.
There is also 'as rough as a badger's arse' referring to the bristly nature of our set dwelling friends.
Not to forget as rough as a badger's tadger, see above.
Coots are not bald either, they just have a white patch on their head.
Baldness runs on the mother's side of the family, and so the status of the senior Calzage's bonce is not the issue, but rather the males on the mother's side of the family.

Honestly though, he does have short forearms.
Unless it's the camera, or because he's always standing next to Joe/Macca?

Coot's are terrible things, they drown about half their offspirng (or break their necks) every year in order to select the fittest ones (in sub-optimal years, which is virtually every year).

Oh well while we are on a nature lesson, dogs often eat their own shit, and nearly always eat their own spew.
