    Calzaghe is easily P4P softest puncher

    He fought a smart fight. I don't dispute the decision. But he LITERALLY slaps. Like during his flurries, his arms actually rotate in a slapping motion. Slappalicious performance by him.

    i think if he wants to crack he can.but for the most part his barrages are to score points and overwhelm the opponent.you shouldn't **** with a philosophy if it works for you.

      Antonio Tarver was regarded a big puncher when he fought Hopkins. It's just very, very hard to land a clean punch on Hopkins.

        Funniest quote of the night (and I might put it in my sig) is when Lampley said "Calz seems to have adjusted by taking some power out of his punches in order to have more speed and accuracy." ROFL.

          I agree completely. That's the thing, it works fine for him. Like sometimes he hits and hits good. But when he's scoring his throwing his arms around so awkwardly. Might as well if he wins though.

            Guys like him, Ouma, Paul Williams, and Juan Diaz all win fights and even get KO's by consistently flurrying, not by hittin with any real power. They don't need to land hard to win when they get off as much offense as they do in fights.

              watch the Kessler fight. Even the slaps he gave Lacy were brutalizing him. Hopkisn is just to cagey and smart to land clean shots.

                  This was Calzaghe's most effective blow by far.

                  Other than that he didn't land ****.

                    I agree he was slapping a lot but those slaps must've been hard since they had Hopkins on the defensive like never before. Hae u seen Bhop more defensive in any of his previous fights?
