Calzaghe wins Sports Personality Of The Year Award.

Welsh boxing superstar Joe Calzaghe brought his superb year to a close by winning the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award.

The 35-year-old finished ahead of Formula One star Lewis Hamilton, while boxer Ricky Hatton was in third place.

Calzaghe, the world super-middleweight champion, is undefeated in 44 fights, including a superb win over Mikkel Kessler in November.

Enzo Calzaghe, Joe's father and trainer, was named Coach of the Year.

"I'm shocked - it's a massive honour and it caps off a great year for me," said the boxer who has been a world champion for 10 years.

Calzaghe won with 177,748 (28.19%) votes to Hamilton's 122,649 (19.45%) and Hatton's 85,280 (13.53%).

He received the trophy from Lennox Lewis in Las Vegas after travelling to the USA to support his friend Hatton, who was defeated by Floyd Mayweather on Saturday night.

And after being on the shortlist last year but not making the top three in the voting, Calzaghe joked: "I said I didn't care last year but I lied."

He added: "I'm proud of it, it's a real achievement and also with my dad winning tonight. To get two boxers in the top three is amazing.

:clap: :laughing: :laughing:

yeah I know.....bigdawg is trying to troll thru this and figure out just what the trap is...or if there is one.

 

This show is definitely one of the shows I miss since leaving England. I used to LOVE this show. Well deserved by Calzaghe.

 

Sports Personality of the Year in the UK? That's on par with winning prostitute of the year in Butte, Montana.

 

Listen to me you simple minded fucking Yank cunt......do you know of people living in Butte Montana that answer to the following fucking descriptions???

1. 1st Undisputed SMW Champion of the World, Fighter with best Record in Pro Boxing today.

2. 1st Formula 1 {no Nascar isn't close, shithead} Driver to start on the Podium in his fist 4 races, Come 2nd in his rookie season and generally be regarded as the champion-elect of the most glamorous and skill demanding motorsport of all

3. Is Floyd from Butte Montana??

....actually....I will make it easy for you.......does the World Womens 400m Champion come from Butte??? Oh...of course she couldn't, because she's BRITISH.....

 

:bears: Who cares, there was only 1 fight that mattered this weekend.

 

Yes...when Trplsec stuck his yank head up his yank ass and fought for air.

 

Yeah, that's the same thing I'm thinking. Really just not an amazing honor. But in all seriousness, Calzaghe couldn't actually win the "Whore of The Year Award" in Butte. He wasn't even nominated, but at least he's got the UK award to be proud of..

 

Thats cos your sister has that all wrapped up. Or is she your wife? Or both??

 

Wow, resorting to family insults. Watching Hatton treated like a puppy that just pissed on the floor must have been tougher on you than I thought.

Not to worry mate, he's still the likeable beer-guzzling, dart-playing slug that he's aways been. And everybody sing along now:

"THERE'S ONLY ONE RICKY HATTON!!!"
