          Yeah I think so if he lands a clean power shot, but mostly he will be wasting his shots on Roys gloves. Roy will be counterpunching off the ropes as usual when he presses him.

            Doesn't have much lead in either hand? I'd disagree slightly. His left can be VERY good. His right is his jab hand which isn't as strong. If you ask Chris Eubank he'll tell you he was never hit as hard as when Calzaghe hit him. This is a guy who fought Benn, saying Calzaghe hit him harder!

            Joe has pop, trust me. You don't see it often cause he doesn't use it often.

              Even if a guy does not have much natural power, if he puts his bodyweight behind a punch then he can hurt you.

              I don't think Calzaghe will get much chance to do that, because the more you sit down on your punches, the more open you are to counters, but hypothetically speaking, if Roy was to drop his hands and let Joe hit him, it would hurt.

                I've actually been to 6 of Joe's fights I've seen that pop up close. But he does not have nor did he ever have true knock out power. Joe throws fast punches, he occasionally forgoes technique for volume but he does not knock people out. Statistics back this up, he has only had 2 actual knock outs in his 45 fights, the rest were stoppages or decisions.

                  Taylor - Pavlik I, would you say that was a genuine KO.

                  Well it was scored as a TKO.

                  TKO means no need for a count, worse than a KO.

                      I dunno about that. How about Joe-Manfredo? That was a TKO right?
