Why Do People Say Calzaghe Was A Slapper or Featherfisted?

still won all his fights...not bad for a so called "slapper"

Fraud ran and retired when trouble came calling. He don’t got one notable win on his resume over a live opponent kessler? to be fair kessler went into the fight in cardiff, with joes welsh mafia ref, with an injured hand. joe had refused to fight uninjured kessler on many previous occasions, but jumped at the chance when kessler got crocked. once fixed by surgeons, mikkel was again avoided by joe.

His legs were surprised to. :boxing: But yea, ur right. One punch doesnt mean much. But feather fisted? Nah. ok feather is too much, but certainly a weak puncher. I have no problem talking a guys strengths if they are real, in joes case, southpaw stance, an awesomely bottomless tank, good speed and chin, selling weak opposition successfully with blindly good marketing to convince the welsh the wbo belt was legit years before it was.

eubanks was weightdrained at 11 days notice. He had no business being a stand in for a title fight - the only thing that justfies him being there was that the belt was no legit at the time, so he just turned up for the paycheck. Eubanks confirmed the shot didnt hurt him, it just surprised him. A legacy of being power puncher built on one fight where he for a few seconds decked a weightdrained late notice stand-in is not an a convincing argument. What is convincing is being in a situ where his paid for ref coukdnt stop the fight prematurely for fear of ridicule/overturnig of decision - thats all the good opposition he fought who who were never really hurt by joe even when joe outboxed them joe just wasnt a hard hitter. Its in his style as well as his musculature/lack of punching finesse His legs were surprised to. :boxing: But yea, ur right. One punch doesnt mean much. But feather fisted? Nah.

Paulie landed a wel timed shot that ndou walked into after taking shots for 9 rounds. Very different from one clean hook in the 1st round that stiffened Eubanks legs. eubanks was weightdrained at 11 days notice.

malignaggi knocked down lovemore ndou. a guy that was never stopped and fought everyone including canelo and cotto. so i guess malignaggi is a bigger puncher than those guys cause they couldnt drop him it wasnt brittle hands that made him develop that slappy frenzy style. it was not being a good boxer. if he tried to be a stand up boxer he would be nothing special. throwing fast illegal furries with the inside of the gloves gave him an edge since fighters don't train for that type of attack. look at him try to box against hopkins. it was pathetic. he just kept running into punches over and over, reset, run into punches, reset, etc...eventually he got desperate and just threw a lot of punches that flailed and missed and fooled the judges. great job. even against an insanely shot jones he was being picked apart before he went slap happy. his old opponents just couldn't keep up with that level of desperation.

Clearly not feather fisted is all im saying. I dont believe he fooled all the judges and refs his whole career. Thats quite silly.

if lacys corner stopped the fight might have saved his career for a few more years his career was on the same path after as before, crush weaklings, get outdone by middlers or above.

It's not meant to be evidence supporting Calzaghe, it's meant to be evidence confirming Calslappy. I mean the question was why people think he was a slapper. That fight was all the evidence you needed. sorry my man!

You dont have weak punches if you knock down Eubank with one shot. Brittle hands made him reluctant to throw big. malignaggi knocked down lovemore ndou. a guy that was never stopped and fought everyone including canelo and cotto. so i guess malignaggi is a bigger puncher than those guys cause they couldnt drop him it wasnt brittle hands that made him develop that slappy frenzy style. it was not being a good boxer. if he tried to be a stand up boxer he would be nothing special. throwing fast illegal furries with the inside of the gloves gave him an edge since fighters don't train for that type of attack. look at him try to box against hopkins. it was pathetic. he just kept running into punches over and over, reset, run into punches, reset, etc...eventually he got desperate and just threw a lot of punches that flailed and missed and fooled the judges. great job. even against an insanely shot jones he was being picked apart before he went slap happy. his old opponents just couldn't keep up with that level of desperation.

all those videos i made i mean someone made and you still have people saying "he used to be a big puncher" this is why we have trump you know

Cause he was ... good riddance. Wouldn’t survive in today’s world of smw and lhw.

yeh but not in danger of getting stopped, not once, ever. you are deluded if you think a stoppage was due. Joe could not induce a stoppage despite having a punch bag in lacy to hit all night. This is exactly why he is considererd powderpuff. The truth works against you, not for you like you imagine it does. if lacys corner stopped the fight might have saved his career for a few more years

He used to knock guys over heavily in the amateurs with pillows and headguards, shots sounding like a gun going off

Seen it a good 50 times and it still never fails to put a smile on my face. i still don't understand wtf happened :rofl:

you are blind and insane. lacy wasn't hurt??? his face looked like it went thru a wood chipper . he was knocked down and staggered several times. watch the god d a mn fight on u tube. never said Joe was mike Tyson and lacy did not walk thru his punches cause he didn't even land on him. jeff lacy did walk thru to Palookaville though. Joe destroyed lacy's career period. to bad you cant ask lacy about the fight cause I bet he don't even remember it I wouldn’t waste your time with this deluded c*nt. He’s just a bitter little troll. Kinda reminds me of someone...🤔🤔🤔 Maybe he also has a new nose and consistently scores 10-10 rounds

actually that was the whole point of you writing this - . so you DID think it was relevant, because they were words WRITTEN BY YOU. But now you choose to claim its not important to you. more lies from you. you've been told that within days of froch becoming mansdo, joe dumped mikkels titles. Cause and consequence could not be made more clear for you. And to make it worse, it was you who gave me those dates, so you self destructed your own argument, cheers for doing that, saved me bothering. keep posting your lies, my friend, no one cares since they destroy themselves. Are you genuinely insane???😂😂😂 Calzaghe had already agreed to move up to fight BHop by DECEMBER 2007, Froch wasn’t made mandatory until APRIL 2008! So without the Joe having the power of hindsight it’s impossible that he moved to LH to duck Froch you f*ckng deluded idiot.😂😂 I haven’t lied once you’ve consistently lied and contradicted yourself cause you’re just a bitter Froch nut hugger cause deep inside it hurts you fanboys that Froch could never reach the heights Joe did. Levels I’ve already schooled you time and time again on this subject, I’m done wasting my time on an idiot like you, you’ll get no more serious responses from me cause you’re not worthy of one. 🖕🏻🖕🏻

slapper NOUN informal / British derogatory 1. A vulgar or coarse woman, or one who has many casual sexual relationships. he qualifies for that. still a good boxer though

I don’t have an issue with Froch retiring actually that was the whole point of you writing this - you do realise Calzaghe was also 36/37 when he retired (like froch). so you DID think it was relevant, because they were words WRITTEN BY YOU. But now you choose to claim its not important to you. more lies from you. I have an issue with idiots like you saying Joe ran to another division to avoid Froch you've been told that within days of froch becoming mansdo, joe dumped mikkels titles. Cause and consequence could not be made more clear for you. And to make it worse, it was you who gave me those dates, so you self destructed your own argument, cheers for doing that, saved me bothering. keep posting your lies, my friend, no one cares since they destroy themselves.
