    But didnt Calzaghe have these hand problems that really stopped him from punching hard? Im not sure about it but he did stop quite a few people during his SMW reign although none of them were really top fighters....

      Ivan Calderon merits consideration, the guy can't crack an egg but is unbeaten and has won titles in 2 different weight divisions.

        Spot on my friend, if you watch some early Calzaghe bouts you will actually see that his style is much more based on one-hit-wonder, he was hitting hard back then. Record was someting like 33 (30 KO) or something like that. He adopted the pitty-pad-flurry style because his hands did not allow him to continue with the old.

            Yeah, It's obvious he wasnt a feather puncher because of his record. Even if he didnt knock out world class opposition it doesnt mean he didnt have knockout power, I remember him flooring Eubank in their fight. And I can't remember anyone else dropping Eubank other than Collins so it was clear he had some pop. I didnt follow much of his career but there is clearly a difference in style from the Calzaghe who fought Eubank to the one who fought Kessler and Hopkins. He changed his style
