"Joe throws 50 pitty-pat punches, lands only 5" Bernard Hopkins

[El Dominicano]

But Mayweather does it and its "boxing".

Brilliant.

Mayweather slaps?? LOL get your eyes fixed

[El Dominicano]

I cannot wait until Calzaghe faces Jones, then faces Pavlik.

How embarassing it will be for so many.

I honestly have no idea how some on here will cope when Joe is 47-0 and has beaten 1) the best fighter America has produced in years and 2) their current P4P golden boy.

You'd be proud to have Joe beat 2 old legends.

i really dont believe clazgahe landed 200 punches thats ridiculous imo he didnt land much clean punches

How the **** does Calzaghe keep an opponent off him for 12 rounds when he slaps. Hopkins is a coward, otherwise he would have walked straight through Calzaghe and KO'd him, not talk about it now after he lost. Calzaghe since 2006 can't punch with power for fear of another hand injury.
One thing is for sure, Calzaghe was very heavy handed in his prime, before his first series of hand injuries. The prime Calzaghe who demolished Chris Eubank would have KO'd Hopkins.

[WESS]

Thats what I'm saying. Calzaghe fights like a ******. Its like landing where ever you can to convince th judges. The objective in boxing is to punch. Calzaghe is P4P number 1 at slap boxing. Is there a slap boxing sport??

Yes, its the Olympics. I say Joe Calzaghe is the GREATEST Olympic boxer ever. He plays "tag" to score the points. He doesn't win, just "tags" the other fighter more and considers himself the best of all time. He will be easily forgotten about when he retires/gets retired.
