    You should watch some of Calzaghe's fights from between 5 and 12 years ago. He was a feared puncher at that time, and scored a lot of KOs.

    The problem is, few people in North America have seen his earlier fights. I had to order videos of those early fights from Britain.
    He has scored 2 or 3 KO's in his whole career no more than 4 , he wins by volume punching to get a TKO , in terms of raw punching power Cal is not a big puncher and has never been one . and Ive seen a lot of his fights .

      You are wrong about that.

      Joe has 19 KOs in the first two rounds. Several have come against previously undefeated opponents.

      However, the last one was against Bryan Mitchell in 2003. Anyone who's seen only his fights since then, they would probably believe you. He's lost his power.
