Does Joe Calzaghe actually count these as punches?

[Weebler I]

calzaghe pretended to be scared of flying and that's why he couldn't come to the usa. imagine if froch pretended to be scared of flying. he would still be fighting the brian magees and robin reids of the world. then when ward turns 43 he finally mans up and beats him by gift decision. great career! where's his pass to the hall of fame?

I doubt Calzaghe really cares that much about the "Hall of Fame" since it's primarily a US sports concept and not something which pervades British sporting culture.

I believe Calzaghe has stated that a fear of flying was only part of the reason he did not travel earlier in his career but presumably RJJ and Hopkins weren't scared of flying so what was their excuse for not travelling? too protected? Did Hopkins's trip to Ecuador early in his career mentally scar him?

It seems odd that lesser fighters such as Lacy and Mitchell were happily prepared to make the trip yet for so-called atgs going to meet the likes of Eubank, Michalczewski, Benn and Calzaghe held such great trepidation. The travel complaint works both ways.

Lets get a video of you doing it then.

Watch the video. There is nothing difficult or demanding about what he is doing.

I'm not sure of the situation which is why I am asking? Was this a joke or is it supposed to be serious? Surely no professional boxer can think these are punches?

lol@ morons acting as if TS said all his punches arent real punches. he is talking about this specific exercise, not saying joe cant throw real punches in general. incidently those arent real punches, they are arm punches, hell they are almost wrist punches lol.

the fact that hes able to throw nine of them a second tells you everything you need to know, pacquiao isnt even that fast, nobody is. again, its bcuz they arent real punches. that said it still improves fast twitch muscle fiber, its a legit exercise just not legit punches.

Of course they're punches, what else are they ?

They're not hard punches or punches you would throw except maybe at your little sister but they are a closed fist striking an object and that's a punch.

Beside if you are trying to throw as many punches as you can in a set amount of time how else would you do it.

Why is Calzaghe on the agenda? Forget that coward, good rid to bad rubbish.
