i hate the term 'slapper' what the fuck is that???

gotta respect his punching style man...its made him undefeated and its HIS style...the refs haven't complained..

All the people that call Calzaghe a slapper and say he can't punch for shit, you pussies wouldn't even dare to throw a punch if you knew your hands could be easily broken. Most fighters get worse once their hands start to wear down from punishment. Calzaghe has adapted his fighting style and he continues to give people ass whoopins even if his hands are brittle. I still don't know why Joe doesn't wrap his hands two inches thick like Mayweather or Trinidad, I bet he could punch a lot harder if he did.

I'd slap your sexy little ass while hitting it from behind...... dude wtf? i posted it , you homo. and you should really stop with that shit , would you it in real life?? fuck no , you would get slapped. everybody has balls over the internet.

There seems to be a clear demarcation line between people who put a genuine argument against Joe's style (which I choose to disagree with) and a handful of cunts that really aren't worth replying to as their red reputations suggest. Funnily enough, most of second category does seem unable to string a coherent sentence together and although they generally write in the pejorative probably think that it is an ointment of some kind. Personally, I quite enjoy a thread where someone has an opposite point of view to me and argue their case well; plenty of Bernard fans are in this camp. Just try to ignore the trolls and they might go back to whacking off over Paris Hilton pictures with the milk and cookies their mommy put out for them.

why do people keep calling joe calzaghe a slapper ?? its not like he gives bitchslaps to his opponent he puts some classic and great classic combos , that no one does better he has 32 (t)ko's in 44 fights. thats a hard percentage , he has hurt lacy , eubank , kessler (with a bodyshot) there are harder punchers out there , but he isnt a fucking 'slapper' (whatever the fuck that is) 31 KO/TKOs .... The Manfredo fight shouldn't even count as a stoppage.

son u just mad cause ur from wales. i aint racist and i dont just favour fighters from my country. sam peter is aight and so is miranda and others like bika and stuff. Any white fighters from anywhere that you like?

You're a racist. Either you favour black boxers or you favour boxers from your country. You suck. i have to agree

he does slap and flail around. hopkins will school him even at this age You're a racist. Either you favour black boxers or you favour boxers from your country. You suck.

To think that there are people out there that think The Slap hits harder than Pavlik and Kessler:rofl: your being stupid whocares who hits harder calzhage has already won a wide U.D against Kessler and he would Box pavliks ears off

Joe Calzaghe vs Bernard Hopkins http://hidebehind.com/lthumbs/51/510ABD.gif

-10 year defence as SMW champion -21 title defences -44-0 -most technically skilled boxer at the moment after Floyd -best super middle weight ever Not bad for a slapper....

I would not say that Calzaghe slaps as such, he just doesn't turn his punches over the way most boxers do.

Any publicity is good publicity after all.

why do people keep calling joe calzaghe a slapper ?? He does slap some of his punches, but guys on here overplay this. Like has been said before, leonard slapped, his hooks were almost arm punches in some cases. The more you guys get annoyed about it, the more these kids will post about it, its the nature of immature people.

I wouldn't take this guy too seriously. It's obvious he just wants to rile up people because he comes to every Calzaghe thread saying the same thing. Ray Leonard 'slapped' too but those were some pretty hard slaps.

I box, I know you can get hurt by a feather fisted guy if you dont tighten a part of your body at a moment of a punch. Lacy slipped, the slapping slapartist did not knock him down. It's a myth. Him getting up off the canvas proves nothing about his chin. And we already covered up his mythical KO record. What's mythical about his KO record? It's a plain and simple fact he got 32 opponents out of there. Lacy slipped....alright.

He is the ugliest puncher i've ever seen in the whole sport. It's not how a Boxer punches. The theory of his power went from accurate, to extremely overrated because of Brits. You know, there are morons out there that think he hits harder than Pavlik and Kessler based on his record. Truth is, he has no power and he slaps, but he is a volume puncher and the opponents he stopped couldn't take it for too long. So him hurting Kessler with a body shot, knocking down and hurting Lacy, getting up off the canvas and knocking out Mitchell and 31 other knock outs or technical knockouts on his record signify he has no power? And who thinks he hits harder than Pavlik or Kessler?

He has KOed only 2 and TKOed 30 , it makes a difference when discussing power , Joe is a volume puncher not a big KO puncher , maybe because slaps quite a bit . What matters is he has gotten 32 of his opponents out of there, a few could have been questionable stoppages but not all of them were. I don't get it, why does he get labeled a slapper when fighters throughout history have done it. Ali, Leonard, Hearns off the top of my head all delivered open handed punches.
