One of the best documentaries, that I have seen in a whi!e. The journey from child to man, from amateur pro. Beating all comers and great odds to achieve the amazing feat of retiring as an undefeated Champion of the World. Loved the structure of the documentary, the editing, the journey, the relationship with his Dad, family and the other boxers. Great insights from his opponents. Fantastic fight footage. What a humble guy. Absorbing, emotional, and inspiring. A must watch.

Undisputed Champion of a documentary
Welsh Dragon
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.
Watch this even if you are not a boxing fan!
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.
