    Second, Cal is so very elusive. He's very difficult to hit squarely. We have to credit Calzaghe with this asset as well.

    Third, and most importantly, Calzaghe employs his defense while on the attack. It's all in one motion. In other words, he can dodge while punching. This separates him from alot of very good fighters.

    Fourth, his punching power is underrated and he is both left and right handed. Now how many boxers are that?

    Argue the point all you want: Calzaghe is a special fighter.

      when you say things like Hatton Ko's Floyd Mayweather and you say things like Calzaghe is illusive it makes you sound like you dont have a CLUE what you are talking about

      Salem,Reid,Hopkins,Jones,Eubank,Kessler,Mitchell have all nailed Cazlaghe good and majority of them have hurt him

        saying something doesn't make it true. there must be thousands of boxers who have never been knocked out before not to mention he hasn't exactly fought the best. any normal boxer who gets knocked down by old men and scrubs would not be classified as having a great chin.

              But, it is true, whether you like it or not. Won't you believe your lying eyes? In case you won't, then look at his record. Furthermore, IT IS A FACT that Calzaghe is both left and right handed.

                A prediction before the fight. You made it seem like I said that after the fight. Yes, I missed a prediction. If I got them all right, I would be a millionaire.

                  Mayweathers is better.

                    no you made a fool outta yourself anyone with half a celL would not have picked Hatton to Ko Floyd a guy who is a defensive master and a guy who has not taken hardly and solid shots in his WHOLE career let alone been down

                    your opinion stinks cause it is riddled with biased

                      Mayweather has a fine defense, but IMO it's not as good as Calzaghe's for the reasons I've already stated.
