    Stop Calling CALZAGHE a good BOXER.

    The guy is a FIGHTER. An excellent FIGHTER. He FIGHTS in all of his fights.

    Stop saying he could easily outbox so-and-so. Could he outfight so-and-so? Absolutely. Calzaghe has extremely fast hands and throws tons of combinations.

    But he's not a particularly good boxer. In fact, i've rarely seen him box an opponent at the elite level. he picks his spots to fight but he rarely actually steps back and works off a jab.

    He hardly ever even uses a jab.

      Calzaghe had a pretty good jab against Kessler.

      He had a very good boxing performance against Charles Brewer too.

            Calzaghe outworked and outfought Kessler and Brewer is not elite.

            Just watch in APRIL against Hopkins.

            IF he wins, he will have OUTWORKED Hopkins, he would never be able to outbox Hopkins

              But he's a brilliant spoiler. He ruins other fighters game plans. That is exactly what a good boxer does.

              He doesn't out-fight people. He takes them out of their plan and uses his own to win. That is called good boxing. He's a good boxer. Not a classic boxer, but a good boxer nonetheless.

                  no he takes them out of their game plan by outworking them with the thousand plus punches he throws a fight.

                  And he's got spoiler tactics and the clinches on the inside and he can break your will with the pressure he applyes.

                  he never boxes. What he does is called fighting
