Joe Calzaghe desribes his "slaps"

[GodOfWarII]

Just face it, Calzaghe can't punch.

If you watched his previous fights instead of sucking Kelly Pavlik's **** all day long then you would see when Calzaghe had less hand problems and was koing/tkoing his opponents. I really hope someone beats Kelly Pavlik soon just because of you kball and your annoying fanbase of his, Abraham probably will do it but sadly it will probably be by decision which isn't just since I think Pavlik deserves to be knocked out for having the most annoying redneck fans in the entire world who come to this website.

because he ****ing has broken hands, you genius. He is afraid of making them worse

he has no power with the slaps... why not just put no power on the punches so he doesn't hurt his hands?

[BattlingNelson]

He slapped Lacy with HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS of shots, yet Lacy only went down once in the 12th.

Just face it, Calzaghe can't punch.

So true.

But he sure as hell can slap!

[El Chicano]

People have always regarded my arm punches as a weakness, ineffective, and Jeff Lacy even described them as slaps, but he was the classic example of how much these rapid-fire bursts can do damage. I pick a point at which to fire three or four rapid-fire shots, bah-bah-bah-bah, and these baffle opponents, then boom, I hit the guy with a harder punch, a big one. It's unexpected because I haven't given him time to think or any warning that it's coming. I'm so busy for a super middleweight and I'm always on top of my opponent, crowding him, probing him, making him commit and luring him into making mistakes. If I stood back and threw only forty punches in a round, my opponent could think up all kinds of plans of attack but I let the punches go and I mix them up, jabs, hooks, uppercuts, crosses, so it's hard for my opponent to think when he has all of this going on around his head.

Interesting, well described. Seems to be an effective plan and makes sense. Whatever works I guess. But they still look like slaps and after that description of his fighting style, now I see it as ***** fighting.

[MWMerlino]

I understand the reason for the slaps by we saw how true counter puncher responded to them...

I'm gonna watch that in about an hour. I hope it's good.

Well, Kelly Pavlik can't even box.

[Tuggers1986]

No Average Joe

[MWMerlino]

Everyone who says Kelly Pavlik can't box should tell us why they think that.

Its complete denial.
