Mr Calzaghe

What makes the story fascinating is the relationship between Joe and his Sardinian-born father, Enzo, who became his trainer. Torn between daring and caring, protecting his son and throwing him to the wolves in the ring, Enzo manages to be two people at once, and his past as a rock musician becomes part of Calzaghe's technique - the long verse of jabs and then a nonstop flurry of fast blows as the chorus.

This documentary film will stand the test of time and should be reference point for any young athlete in what ever sport they represent. An extraordinary piece of film making that took you to the heart of an incredible man, why he succeeded and to the people around him and the critical roles they played. The greatest boxer Wales and Great Britain has ever produced.

I've seen a lot of boxing documentaries and this is definitely one of the best. Great story! Great characters (the dad is one of a kind)! Great direction! Great story! The movie starts with his amateur career and ends with his final fight against Roy Jones Junior. Pretty normal for a boxing documentary. The difference is that this one is put together very well by people who know what they are doing. The production value is higher than I'm used to of sport documentaries.

It really surprised me how compelling this film was. It just pulls you in and doesn't let you go. This one is a real gem. People who aren't really into boxing, but love to watch sports documentaries, for them this is a must-watch. 10/10

As a boxing fan you're only ever given what the media or ppv provider allow you to see. In modern times, social media as well. Mr Calzaghe gives an insight into the real hours that go into putting on a masterpiece of a boxing show. The grit, the doubt, the love and sacrifice by both boxer, trainer and family member. Seeing fights that I grew up on and that I anticipated and couldn't wait for, so many years later almost as a fly on the wall (or rope) shows you what boxing was and just how great these 2 were. These social media times we are living in almost casts a shadow over what fighters used to do, which was to fight each without any 'BS' to see who was the best. A must watch for any boxing fan of any age. Either to reminisce or to watch one of the greatest fighters in boxing history and the great Enzo Calzaghe that guided him and saw what nobody else could.

What a wonderful docu-movie this is. It has it all, a marvelous story, excellent directorship, powerful editing and a score you will love. I so enjoyed this and would heartily recommended it to all, boxing fan or not. It may be too simplistic but this movie is to boxing what Senna was to motor racing, the sport is secondary it is first and foremost a human story and what a story it is!

Surprisingly the "real" star of the story is possibly not even Joe Calzaghe but his Dad, Enzo. How someone with no boxing pedigree can bring his son to the pinnacle of sporting stardom is truly a joy to watch!

Enjoy, I am sure you will feel better having watched Mr Calzaghe than you did when you sat down to watch it.
