Joe Calzaghe Media Workout! Video Inside

[FRKO]

That's all well and good, I like Roy, but I thought he was supposed to KO Trinidad in 4?

Funny how we sit here comparing hand speed, btw. We all know very well that no opponent is gonna just stand there like a buffoon and allow the other guy to blast away with 15,000 shots per second. Right? Right. This is all pointless. there's no point in dissing Joe's fighting skills or trying to predict what he will do based on a 2 minute media workout on on a punchball. Joe wasn't even going for speed on that ball anyway.

i mean, he looked good... but to put it in perspective, u seen him on that double end bag..??

OK, fair enough. I thought you'd posted that as if to say "Calzaghe ain't ****, Roy is better".

Roy looked good there, btw. Very sharp.

Yep, gotcha. Roy looks amazing for his age. I can't knock the guy either. Roy and Joe kick much butt. Some of my fave fighters of all time.

Roy looked happy, btw. Nice to see that.

Roy always had alarmingly fast hands. The kind of hands that would be down by his ankles, on the other side of the ring at one moment, and then holding up his belts in the post fight interview while your corner tried to revive you the next. He still looks great too, as per that training video (the guy in the white shirt looked pretty quick too).

But Joe C. has some impressive speed too - P4P, among the fastest in recent memory - and he flurries brilliantly, more so in actual fights than in training.

hahaha, wud u think between joe and roy?

Roy has more pop at the end of his punches tho and makes that bag move better with his rhythm, his flow....Joe on the other hand has just quick hands to keep up with the bag.... das my opinion..
