He broke his hand early in his career and just had to get all these surgeries in order to fight. The style he fights with is not suitable for his broken hand. As you can see, he manages to reddened and lump up his opponents face(see Diaz and Khan post fights). Mayweather and Calzaghe managed to adapt to a style that was suitable for their hand injuries and thus one retired undefeated and the other one is still undefeated.

Having a broken hand is not the end of the world, just you need to work hard on figuring out what style you need to use to win fights. Each boxer needs a certain style. Just because the style Floyd uses works for him, doesn't mean Floyd's style would work with Calzaghe. Same as Paulie, he can't copy what Floyd or or Joe does, he needs to figure out something for himself. I actually think Calzaghe's style is much better for Malignaggi than the hand down style he uses. Paulie should be a volume puncher not a pot shotter, pot shotting doesn't work for everyone.

To tell you the truth one of those ko's is against a guy who was a natural FW fighting at 135.

is this true that he got a broken thats why he didnt have any power anymore?

Lady Gaga doesn't have any power too. Seriously, it has nothing to do with his hands, he doesn't have power, period. It has more to do with his muscle fibers and muscular structure than it has to do with his hands. His 5 KOs weren't 1 punch KO's more like he was overwhelming bums like everyone does in their young careers. Power = speed and weight. It takes explosive muscle fibers and that's genetic. In the case of heavyweights it's totally different but in the lower weight classes you generate power with speed, explosive motion and leverage. Strength isn't such a big factor. Look at how Pauli fights very straight. He doesn't use his legs to generate torque or power, he arm punches allot more. A guy flexing his knees and carrying all that power from the ground with rotation, turning and delivering an hook to the face, that's power and Pauli doesn't do that. So technique is also a factor.

the old saying goes... {punchers are born} so he never had power period...next...

He Does Arm Punch a lot. on top of the fact that he has been a left handed fighter most of his career. I've seen his hands up close and they look like edward scissorhands got a hold of him. I know he's had a least 3 to 4 surgeries on his right hand alone.

He never had any power to begin with. Floyd also had hand problems and he had power in the lower weight classes.
