does it really matter?

i'd take a brutal 12 round schooling ala jeff lacy, over a knockout anyday of the week. go ask mr lacy now if he'd rather have been put out of his misery in the 7th or endured another 5 rounds of pain.

lame effort.

Just curious, Joe Calzaghe has one of the softest punches at Super Middle. Do you guys think he'll ever knock anyone with a pulse out?

He only hurts people by throwing 1000 soft punches.

Sorry China Fag Joe, hate to spoil your party.

Is that the best you can do? :lol:

At least JC doesn't have a ridiculously ironic nickname like..........err.............'The Executioner'!!

It fit Hopkins before when he was younger and more aggressive.

Now he executes game plans that bore the viewers.

Let me guess your favourite boxer is Pavlik? and Pacquiou is your #1 P4P.

I would say 75% of title fights go the distance so your arguement should be directed to just about every world champ!

Calzage hits hard and that is why guys cover up so much when fighting him, but it is his style to outbox because of his superior speed

Calzaghe used to be a proper banger, but he risks breaking his hands every time he throws a hard shot.

Yeah he doesnt punch too hard, he's like the Winky Wright of the super middlewieght division, power wise.

on his way up calzaghe was known as a heavy hitter.up to beating eubank he'd won all his 22 fights, 21 inside the distance including 10 in the 1st round. 17 were stopped inside 3 rounds.ofcourse there was obviously the usual array of tomato cans and the like,but relatively speaking he did hit hard,but then had a lot of trouble with brittle hands.

calzaghe def can hit not the hardest but but def not as soft as people think i agree with haye its because is bad hands before going into the eubank fight 22fights 21 tkos wat does tha say

Hopkins fucking sucks too, so I agree with you.:D

the fight took place at an amtauer inter nations tournamant in italy.

tournament took place in december 1992.

chris byrd and joe calzaghe met in the final at 165Lbs.

calzaghe won ko 3 is what the records book say.

i have never seen the fight , but the result is legit.

i saw a graph of this tournement per weight class , who they beat through the rounds until they met in the final.

this was a few months after chris byrd had won a silver medal at the barcelona olympics and both turned pro after.

calzaghe should have been sent to the olympics , he never lost a senior amatuer fight, but the ABA of wales refused to allow enzo to be joe`s trainer .

As pointed out by some Joe used to be a real puncher till his hand trouble started coming into play .

He even said in an interview recently: 'My left hands been a pain in the arse , I used to be able to knock people out with my left hand' .

His hands have just become too brittle to load up on his shots .

People pointed out his ko record coming up to Eubank , he also floored Eubank in that fight and Eubank had a great chin .

Sorry China Fag Joe, hate to spoil your party.another stupid post. He isn't one of the softest punchers at super middle. If you knew anything about boxing which you obviously don't, you would know Sven Ottke had only 6 ko's. Calzaghe has 32 in 44 fights. Of his title defenses 11 have come by way of ko. get a clue.

sean

11-07-2007, 04:45 PM

also not mentioned although i have before, calzaghe in the kessler fight was looking to place shots/score points and get out before the fast and heavy handed kessler could come back.

calzaghe simply was not trying for a ko in this fight he was trying to score points and win rounds v an opponent he could feel was strong and dangerous.

WHO FUCKING CARES. Whitaker only knocked out 17 of his opponents does that meaning anything?!?!. The man wins his fights and wins them well and thats all that matters! This site is becoming polluted with some real P4P fuckwits

Even if he wanted he wouldnt be able to.He couldnt knock out Ashira,the ref knocked out Manfredo for him,that fight would have gone for 12 rounds

There's more than one way to skin a cat mate.

11-07-2007, 05:24 PM

FFS go ask kessler and lacey and a few others if the guy punches hard,i guess lacey just headbutted the ring post a few fucking dozen times instead going by the state of the guys face haha,man some of these posts are dumb as shit.
Kessler aint ever been down,and i mean ever as at any level hes ever competed at,and he was badly hurt at times by JoeC,im not a fan at all,i dont mind or hate the guy,but give the fucker some respect.

Why does he need a ko for anyone to appreciate his brilliance ??

People get me with all the brutality when they fail to see the sweet science that smack dead in front of them !!

If he were a heavy weight then yeah but most great fighters don't neeed a KO to give the fans what they want ..:bbb :bbb :bbb :bbb :bbb

He used to have good knockout power when young. Only the other day he was on tv explaining he's adapted his game because of his dodgy hands.

He broke a hand in the Ashira fight. Of course, I wouldn't expect you to know that, since you've never displayed any sort of grasp on boxing before. Didn't you think that Kessler would beat Calzaghe?

Someone who threw 1000 punches and failed to knockout his opponent is obviously feather fisted.He's a real slapper,rabbit punches and the grabbing.He cant knockout an elite fighter

you get worse with every post you fucking retard.

the guy whos cock you have jammed down your throat couldn't knock out glass chin judah, carlos fucking baldomir, corley and so on. does it make him a shitty, feather fisted fighter? oh yeah, and he uses his elbows illegally :yep

you truely are the worst poster in the general forum you dick riding sack of shit.

Nice thread, same was Holyfield who hurt every opponent with his combination punching. Calzaghe will broke Marciano record in this two years.

saintsmike

Erm in a legacy defining fight would you really risk breaking your hand?

Once a hand breaks it increases the chances of it breaking again, and Joe C has broke his left hand more times than he's had title defences!

Joe C used to be a hard puncher & still is WHEN HE WANTS TO BE. Kessler hadn't even been ROCKED until he fought calzaghe and has a pretty good chin. If you want to see Joe fighting with no inabition watch his fight against Byron Mitchell.
