      To be like water is to be unpredictable...Joe isn't unpredictable...The problem here is that he WON'T stop throwing, even if you counter him...Unpredictable is a fighter like Mayweather altough Mayweather is a bit stiff.

      Altough this is an anime...Here is a PERFECT example, or watch Bruce Lee fights...Watch

        Its true. His awkardness is what troubles fighters. U can never get his rythem down packed, because he has no rythem. He just fights and throws punches (slaps) at any angle.

            His feints, footwork and command of the ring is over looked.


            His footwork is superb.

              calzaghe's style is like diarrhea.

              You can't predict when it's gonna strike. It makes you uncomfortable but never KOs you.

                That was a good one my man. His style is defintely one that is hard to deal with. He changes his fighting during fights during rounds. Shane Mosley can change styles in the middle of a fight not too many boxers can do that. Joe moves well and has great foot work stepping to the side and creating angles and throw constatly from different angles. much like Jones in his hay day he would throw punches from an angle that no one else could and hit you and then have the speed and reflexes to still get out of the way even though he exposed himself for a split second. This is what Joe can do to a cerain extent and he is very good at staying in punching range and not getting hit. He does often throw slapping punches but he throws 4 or 5 in a row punches (slaps) in bunches. you throw miss and he counters you with 4 or 5 punches. Every now and then he mixes in a hard clean shot. He is not going to lift anyone off their feet but after you get hit 200-300 times you are a little bit gun shy. I mean you start thinking can I hit him should I throw and then he aint there no more. if you hesitate and miss he makes you pay. hats off to Joe he is a great fighter....Lefty

                  He has a pretty definite style if you ask me. Ability to make adjustments does not constitute a stylistic change.
