    i don't like his girly non-damaging flurries

    atleast calzaghe has somewhat of a right, he cant keep his opponents off him with punching power due to brittle hands
    that is what they all say until they meet him.

    non-damaging? You are clueless.

        tries too hard?

        thats the first time i have seen that said in a negative way when talking about a boxer

        i see your point,but if his punches really were that non-damaging then why didnt any of his opponents just walk throught them and knock him out?

          He's okay. I like Oscar, Felix Sturm, or Sergio more.... Those are the 3 best looking IMO

              Why did'nt people do that to Calzaghe? you get overwhelmed
              that's the whole point of combinations, fast and crisp overwhelming ****
              you dont need to put power behind them, instead save energy while scoring

              Alot of trainers teach this, i've boxed and i've seen alot of trainers in corners just saying "touch him, you dont need power just touch him"

              Leonard had power when he needed it, but his short hook flurries i could never help but laugh at

                      I agree maybe the best to ever compete at 168 in spite of him not having the strongest resume to retire with.
