    you say this and your probably a Mayweather,Hopkins and Winky Wright fan.

      Joe C is the man. I would love to see him fight Chad Dawson for all the marbles before he goes.

        Like i said in the past, i respect Calzaghe for what he has accomplished, but just can't respect him for the way he fight. I just can't get over it, he is so akward and his fights look ugly. Boxing is supposed to be judged on effective and accurate punching, and i can't say i consider his "slapping" technique to be effective.

        But hey, it seems to be working for him, just don't expect me to be a fan. You can't say i like him, but i don't hate him either, i just don't care really.

                  i respect him as a fighter, i do think his played his career very safe . . . after he beat kessler i was impressed ... after that it was all down hill and i can say i am truly not a fan of his.

                    I guess the cut on Jones eye was self inflicted.

                      If that is the only example you can come up with to defend Joes punching technique it just shows i am right.

                      A punch doesn't have to be powerfull at all to cause a cut, it's more about where it lands and what part of the glove hits than anything else. Most of the cuts comming from punches in boxing are actually from grazing punches.
