    Well you gotta figure in he fought a lot more at 175.

      his knockout percentage drop might also have somethin to do with a friend of his dieing in a boxing match and him wanting to take a safety first career after that

          The forearm is the side of the elbow right.

          Either way all you just proved is Roy couldn't hurt Calzaghe with a punch and had to use an illegal shot to drop him.

                I would rather be hit with a Foreman rather than a connected punch from a fist, all 10 oz gloved an all. Experiment with this yourself. Get someone you know that has a decent punch and try both.

                  Nah, that's definitely not it.

                    If he didn't fall down and use his glove to keep himself up, what would have happened? Would Tarvr have defied gravity?

                      Calzaghe would strongly disagree with you. RJJ hit Joe with everything he had and Joe smiled at him. FACT. Roy bashed Joe in the head with an elbow and finally hurt him. FACT.
