Was just watching the Joe C vs Bika fight..Pretty good scrap. I noticed in that fight that Bika tried to muscle Joe around and roughhouse Joe, which Bika tries to do to most every fighter he fights and he is good at it. What i love about Joe in that fight though is he roughhouses Sakio right back and even muscles Bika around at a lot of points in the fight. Calzaghe could adapt to any style. And he was physically stronger then a lot of folks give him credit for. To slap as much as he did i remember Lacy's face looking pretty smashed up after Joe got ahold of him. And Kessler this past saturday night didn't look any worse then he did after Joe taxed that a**

Slapping, or 'cuffing' causes cuts and swelling even easier because of the rough surface and because of the scraping/pulling motion.
Thats why its illegal.
I like hoe people sometimes try to discredit him by saying the Manfredo stoppage was to early, as if the end result was going to be any different.
Should they have stopped Mayweather-Gatti at the opening bell? What about Foreman-Frazier?
A **** stoppage is a **** stoppage.

when hopkins roughs up calzaghe HE'S CHEATING!
when calzaghe roughs up bika OMG CALZAGHE IS SO VERSATILE!
I have no problems with Hopkins rough housing in the inside but his 1,2 combo of the headbutt and overhand right is dispicable.
bika beat the crap outta calzaghe in that fight. he was out of gas and holding on for dear life and even faked low blows in the last round to get a rest. sound familiar? according to calzaghe fans that makes him the loser.
as for calzaghe punching hard...some people never face reality.
Calzaghe is noted by other for hitting really hard, no matter what others say, he's a great fighter.

I can't wait to see Joe inducted into the Hall of Fame next year.
Yes, and remember Joe had a lot of hand issues, too.
