His hands are broken now but he still has some of his punching power is still there, if he didn't punch hard at all then he wouldn't have a big ass dude like jeff lacy and even kessler was on the ropes against calzaghe. I don't remember a fight of calzaghes where he was the one on the ropes.

Calzaghe Punching Power? Dont you mean the power of a slap?

He used to punch with much more power before he started worrying about his hands.

He may have had more power, but I think calling him a power puncher as some seem to think is a stretch. He got most of his KO's earlier in his career against weak competition and from what I can tell he never had any spectacular KO's where he cold-****ed a guy with a single shot.

yeah man, i have his career set on dvd, and have watched 3 fights of his out of alot and i have already seen him knock a guy out with one punch, so your wrong.. btw, his fight with charles brewer was awesome, action packed

Not all one punch KO's are equal. I'm talking about KNOCKING SOMEONE THE **** OUT (see Hearns or more recently what Miranda did to Banks), not just putting someone on their ass and having the ref stop the fight. Has he done this and if so, who were the opponents?

well, like i said i have only watched 3 fights, the one i saw was a clean one shot knockout. yeah the ref did stop it and the guy wasnt totally knocked out.. i see what your saying, but i cant tell you honestly cause i havent watched many of the fights yet that i ordered
