    He caresses the face of his opponent

      he used to have a ton of power in his straight left till he broke it!

      even in his prime he liked to throw circular punches that often end in slaps. if he sorted that our he may land less but he could do more damage.

        I think he has deceptive power in those hands. They look, at times, girlish and ineffectual (though very fast), but Jeff Lacy's face was hamburger after 12 rounds, and, halfway through their fight, he had Mikkel Kessler doubled over in pain.

        But whatever works, eh? There's nobody who fights like Joe calzaghe, and I, for one, love watching him go to work.

          judges don't give near enough credit for power punches and clean shots. I guess slapping hopkins arms and gloves is a great way to score points.

            yes, I absolutely have, haha

              lol I don't even think those are punches entirely. I think the most of his shots are a mixture of pushes and slaps.

                I think Calzaghe has the power in him, he just chooses to punch way softer and faster to score points. It seems as if he wanted to slug it out he could but its just not his style
