    The Flaws of Calzaghe & Jones

    Roy Jones Jnr
    • Doesn't sway while blocking punches with guard.
    • Drops hands to taunt opponent.
    • Punch resistance questionable.
    • Foot speed decreased in recent fights.


    Joe Calzaghe
    • Can throw wide swinging punches.
    • Can duck into oncoming punches.
    • Drops hands to taunt opponent.
    • Can leave himself open to shots when advancing.


    What other flaws can you think of that these two fighters have?

    Uppercuts and straight-rights, hoping calzaghe has fixed those problems. When he is in close he leaves himself slightly open for uppercuts and from a slight distance straight rights work wonder against calzaghe.

      Calzaghe squares himself up quite a bit, Jones backs straight up with hands low, he still does that from time to time now.

            Calzaghes style is awkward, but I like him! He constantly throws, I find that entertaining and he has people back up against the ropes which means those slaps hit harder then what people on this board think.

              Footwork would cancel a lot of that punching.

              Roy can out point Joe if nothing else cause I don't see Joe hurting Roy at all.

              I don't see RJ standing still and taking a lot of punches from anyone.

                  I know what you mean, Calzaghe's power is underestimated, he does the slap style due to those hand problems but, like Roy said, he can sting you with the occasional heavy shots after he's broken through the guard with the flurries.

                    nah, it just unbalances them, those slaps are more pushes than anything else
