    Calzaghes acheivements, bearing in mind his bad hands.

    When you think about how bad his hands are, literally can't go one training camp or one fight without doing damage, does that make his acheivements that much more impressive? I wonder what he could have acheived if they weren't so bad...

      If Joe's hands were in perfect condition he would've KO'd Hopkins, murdered Jones, demolished Dawson, annihilated Pavlik, and moved up to Heavyweight to pick apart Klitschko.

      True story.

      But with his hands being **** he just decided to fight guys like Manfredo, Bika and Pudwill instead.

        Something people will never accept.

        Landed most punches ever on Hopkins and Jones, threw the most against them too.

            Well, he fought one handed against Reid, Ashira and Bika, to name just a few. His hands were damaged going into the Lacy and Salem fights, he pulled out of the Glen Johnson fight partly because of it, and there's been many postponements in his career because of them.

            What if none of that had happened? This is a thread in the same style as all the "What if Vitali never got his face smashed in by Lennox?" kind of threads.

              A shot version who 50% of people on this board thought would win and a 43 year old who won every round against Pavlik.

              Yeah I am.

                Does it change the fact Hopkins is still 43 years old and is in decline still
                How many people thought Hatton had a chance against Floyd, you were one _Ricky_

                  People were just rooting for the old guys. I knew Cal would win both fights. I was just hoping he'd get knocked out.

                    half of the people on here didn't think he would win.

                    we were just hoping he would win.

                    i posted "roy ko8 over joe" in every single calzaghe/roy thread and even i as a die hard roy lover didn't believe that ****.
