Calzaghe can hit and not be hit without running or clinching

[Steak]

he actually gets hit pretty often, but generally not cleanly, and his punch output and variety more than makes up for that.

he usually does put on a show, which is why I enjoy watching him.

I wouldnt say he gets hit "often"..

well often is probebly misleading, but most of his better opponents can land pretty consistantly on him, hes a bit open to right hands at times.

but nevermind.

I'm pleased some people are finally starting to acknowledge Joe. It may be a bit late on in his career but you can probably see him fight once or twice more before he retires.

I always liked Joe Calzaghe. I knew he'd beat Lacy easily.

But what was it that kept him like the UK's best kept secret until the Lacy fight?

It would been fcukin awesome to have Joe back in the days with Eubank,Collins,Benn and watson can just imagine some of the fights that would of gwaned..

he did beat Eubanks.

[jkdking]

yeah he did beat eubank after eubank had over 50 fights and it was a come back fight. so yeah joes record speaks for its self.


he is in talks for a 2009 jan bout agaisnt ali

[Fulcrum29]

thats a great point man.

he 'hit the canvas' from the same thing that made Gamboa hit the canvas recently, a forearm/elbow punch, i.e. an illegal punch so **** off

[jkdking]

in jones prime his movement was second to non his combinations were second to non. he use to move in and out when fighters through punches. watch the second round agaisnt joe when he lands his two punch combo. that is how roy used to beat his oppenents they could not get set.

i think if they had both meet in there primes. roy would have went out hard made joe feel his power and that would have slowed the pace of the fight.

i also think when he through his straight right he would flow in to a combination.

watch some of jones fights from 1997 to 1999.
even in the first tarver fight watch him land the straight right and then flow it up.

Why do I need to **** off?
