how good would have calzaghr been without his frail hands..

I hate to admit it, but the guy slapped for a reason.broken hands held him back but still put on some great performances...

So what would have been his knockout ratio had his hands not been so fregile...or do you think that the fragile hands made him box mofre intelligent fights..use his speed and not go for hastly attacks...

I don't know but all I know is that he stood infront of Jones face to face with his hands down and jones couldn't do ****.

Very ****ing good, it's his own fault too, he never used proper tape just those crappy hand wraps when training.

i think joe had a sloppy technique as well, even in his early bouts he never quite mastered the art of shotting straight hard punches ala tszyu or wright. he would rely on his wide punches and speed to generate the power.

but if his punch had stayed with him throughout his career i think we can safely say he'd be pretty damn good. in fact he might have even been around today.

i hate the guy but i admit hes very good...would he ben considered top 10 pound for pound if he had a decent punch...

He was #2 p4p when he retired as it was.

i was referring to all time...

His Frail hands didnt seem to hurt his career t00 much. Def not top ten all time, but one of the best fighters of his generation. imho

[boxasmash]

Not top 10 but he'd be almost level with Jones, probably still below.

his punching technique is what gave him the frail hands
only if he was trained by a proper trainer and not a musician
