Slapzaghe is just one lable given Wales' Joe Calzaghe by our rather dim "cousins"over the water (cousins? hmm, not mine they aint).
Let me remind you all of the past few years...on this site i read, from you boxing "experts"
Lacy will **** Joe up
Kessler will break him to pieces
B'Hop will destroy the myth
...most recently
Calzaghe is dodging Pavlik.
Well, last i looked Joe comfortably beat all the above except Pavlik who was beaten up by the very man who couldnt lay a glove on Joe. Now of course the Yanks are spouting "RJJ will show Joe the way" etc. They NEED Calzaghe to lose so that finally they can say he was always overrated. Wake up America, you asked him to come over, he came, he saw he conquered. If he beats RJJ you will say he beat an over the top fighter. since his hands gave up on him he adopted a style that makes him one of the most prolific punchers of all time. No muscles on this fella, just speed of hand and thought. Wheres his guns? He dont need em!
If it aint American it aint worth knowing seems to be your attitude you ignorant dummies. Well, America cant make cars either!
Joe Calzaghe, Welsh legend and an all time boxing great - even if he wasnt born in dodo land!
cymru am byth!
Really a stupid thread!
Vitali beat British Lennox Lewis so bad that he went into retirement.
Vitali beat the crap out of British Danny Williams
Barrera made Prince Naseem turn into a frog
Recently Khan got dropped like a bag of potatoes
Hopkins far more superior than average Joe Calzaghe (be realistic PLEASE!)
Last but no least, THERE IS ONLY ONNNNNNEEEEEE FLOYD MAYWEATHER!!! Made your national hero look umm.... I won't say the word, cursing is not my style.
I ain't even from the states, but UK fighters suck to be honest.
I guess some people REALLY DO think Joe gettin' by Roy:lol1:
If you're that dumb I'm smart enough to capitalize off that......I'm takin all bets that those numbers on the left allow me to.......
After the Kesler fight most boxing fans knew that this boy was the real deal. But not to talk shit but some of his punches do look like slaps, This fool would of been the shit at slap boxing back in the Middle/High school days.
Nah, Calzaghe got bullied at school. It's well documented.
Joe has hand problems for a reason, though. It ain't bad punching technique, despite what some people think, it's the fact that he's thrown so many hard shots he's literally smashed his hands up by hitting heads. Roy Jones will say (and has said) the same thing -- that his hands are damaged for a reason.
I don't think they're damaged enough to render his punches useless, but he has to stay aware that he could break them if he hits too hard during a fight. That's obviously not a predicament any fighter would want to be in. But to still win fights firing on one cylinder is pretty damn good. There certainly are slaps in there, but mixed in are some hard shots. It turns out to be effective for Joe, as you never know when he'll pepper you with a hurtful punch. Opponents think they can walk through him easy, then bam... think again.

Who got knocked down in the first round again?
That's weak man. Plenty of fighters get knocked down, and much more severely than Joe did, but then get up and win fights.
Joe was only on the canvas for 1.7 seconds, then got up, no sign of shaky legs, and carried on as normal. If it wasn't for that flash knockdown, the round could have gone either way.

Not all Americans are like that though, so to generalise that much is pretty harsh. You should have adressed this to "Calzaghe haters" in general, regardless of nationality.
A good point. I admit i generalize, and i guess i shouldnt and not all Americans are bad i guess. That said though, the Calzaghe "haters" of all nationalities make me laugh/cry/puke.
The guy is a World boxing champion with an unblemished record who had beaten every one ever put in front of him. Slapper, ducker, whatever you want to say, his record cannot be questioned, its in black and white, and all Wins.
Shall we question Pavliks record now and ask, was he a nobody who just happened to have Taylors measure. Was Taylor a nobody who had Hopkins'.
Its the toughest sport in the world and we can only dream of attaining the levels these guys reach.
Id never question Roberto Durans record and say "hold on, he fought lots of bums inhis earlier years".
Sugar Ray L himself fought plenty of "bums" or was it that actually, he was just bloody fantastic. Watch Calzaghes last few fights....Lacy, Hopkins, Kessler...nobody hinted that any of this lot were bums, and he despatched them all. W W W on record.
When Americans climb out of their own arses and realise the world has been around a long time, and doesnt owe them **** all. when they finally turn round and say "Ok Calzaghe IS a ****ing great champion" then i will give THEM respect in return.
I understand tho, when u get a guy come to your country and just beat all your champions and have their countrymen say "i told u so" it hurts. So you tend to hate
