    This guy must slap pretty damn hard....

    All this "slap" hype has to stop. The guy had the same KO ratio as David Haye has at that point in his career for ****s sake, now all of a sudden he can't punch?

    Name me someone else who has stopped Byron Mitchell, for example?



    How about anyone else to have beaten prime Mario Veit, let alone KO'd him twice? (Inkin doesn't count, Veit was shot)



    How about anyone else who has dropped Chris Eubank in the first round?



    How about anybody to have dropped Jeff Lacy?

    Maybe you have seen somebody else nearly drop an undefeated Champion, who is known as having a granite chin, in Mikkel Kessler?

    Some videos are missing due to Frank "The Wank" Warren, but I think you get the idea. It's about time Americans started to show Joe Calzaghe the respect this truly great champion deserves.

    I dont know but Ive heard there is an older american that is the first man to hold 2 linear championships in 2 different weight classes. This man also had an record title defenses of 20. This man went up 15 pounds to dominate his naturally bigger opponent. He is the first and only man to KO both Trinidad and De La Hoya. Who is this?

        Is this the same man who was beaten by the "now widely accepted as ****" Jermain Taylor twice and will suffer the first KO loss of his long and highly overrated career. If I'm right his major wins of note were against welterweights, and the 15 pounds you claim he gained to dominate the bigger man was simply him skipping Joe Calzaghes division and moving up to his NATURAL weightclass. I cannot, for the life of me, remember the fools name though? I wonder what his name could possibly be?

                Actually watch one of his KO's though. He uses fast flurries from different angles to disorientate his opponent, then hits them with the hard stuff from the least likely angle. That takes considerably more skill than just flailing his arms as I see claimed here on many occasions.

                    Good post.

                    Lmao @ the last video.

                    Chris Eubank: Wooo, now we know why Steve Collins doesn't want to box him. Good fighter.
