why do people say calzaghe has an "iron" chin

[deanrw]

Hopkins did not hurt him badly, it was a flash thing. He got right back up on steady legs.

RJJ had him hurt a bit though.

I think Joe's problem is finding his legs early in a fight. It is almost like he was not warmed up enough. Once he finds his groove though he seems to take them pretty good from what I can tell.

Does he have an Iron chin? No but not many do. He has a good chin though.

I dont even kno what your talking about...Jones and Hop had calz cut and bruised just look at the state of his face...

no, calz's problem is that he tries to fight a technical fight but he sux at it... then he unleashes the slapper within and he beats a shot fighter and barely gets past a 43 yr old senior citizen.

Which is a silly exaggeration. I could make a thread about some ****** things a few fans have said about their favourite fighter.

Its so obvious Joe's chin is good but by no means 'iron' like a Chuvalo or Hagler, i dont its thread worthy.

well thats why i made the thread and not you.....i never said he has a glass jaw..thats ridiculous

And got up and won. What difference does it make? He hasn't got a single L on his record. Hopkins has. Jones has. Does it make them any less great?

Again, old or not, the last thing a fighter loses is his punch. AKA, these dudes still have power.

Was Hopkins an old man when he was battering Kelly Pavlik all over the ring?

The Pavlik fight is irrelevant. Hopkins was on 100% and had a great night.That's hard to come by at 43 if not impossible for most. He looked old and slow against Calzaghe and Wright. That Pavlik fight was an exception you twat. Not the rule. Calzaghe beat a 43 year old who looked his age that night. He won by the skin of his teeth. Not very impressive in my eyes.

Huh?

Kessler is better than Jones and probably Hopkins. You make it sound as if he's only started fighting when he fought in the USA.

You Americans and your opinions on where your country stands in the world always amuses me.

Kessler sucks. Who did he ever beat?

[fightnews55]

Not at all. You know it!

Hopkins was offered a fight with Calzaghe in 2002 for 3 million. He backed out at the last minute and asked for 6 million. Then he takes a fight with Morade Hakkar for 1.25 million.

Morade Hakkar, dude! LOL.

Jones has security guards on his resume, or was it a cop?

All these guys fought ****ty competition who never stood a chance. And who cares? It pays the bills and it keeps them active. But taking a fight with Hakkar instead of Calzaghe is embarrassing. And I don't care if it's a mandatory.

Please. You actually believe that bull****. You probably use Calzaghe's jizz as Vaseline when you spar.

Is daggum a calzaghe lover at heart. I think it may be a love/hate relationship, the guy just can't stop talking about joe. He is more devoted than any other fan i have ever seen every thread with even a sprinkle of calzaghe and daggum is there.

[fightnews55]

actually mate that little vid youve got des show it quite wel, hopkins lands the punch and joe retreats slightly, hopkins then puts his weigh on him and joe goes down.

Are you all there?

[Silencers]

His chin is very good, he can take a good shot and come back with his own, his punch resistance actually seems to get better as the fight goes on when he knows what's coming at him.
