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

[GoodBoxfella]

Who does?

Joe Calzaghe suffered a severe injury to his wrists when he was younger and it was thought he could never box again but he just evolved a new way of punching which is why he sometimes "slaps". Just think what he could be like.

He should have retired then. What he does is illegal in Boxing, and he gets away with it.

[Silencers]

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?

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.

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.

[CardioMonster]

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.

[RichCCFC]

Any publicity is good publicity after all.

[tntkid]

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