Does Joe Calzaghe actually count these as punches?

Had Calzaghe mixed it with the best he wouldn't have been undefeated. He was made to look like an amateur against a 43 year old Hopkins and conceivably lost that fight. Ward spanks any version of him, Dirrell beats him, prime Jones kills him, prime Hopkins takes him. Calzaghe was managed very very well. 35,000 fans paying to watch him box Manfredo? Don't make me laugh.

Dirrell? lol

Dirrell? lol

you don't think Dirrell is hugely skilled?

I think he's a good fast fighter who at the age of 29 still hasn't won a world title or beat anyone other than Arthur Abraham.

I hate it but I have to agree with ^^^

Those punches were good enough to have a darn good career and retire undefeated....all while snorting a few lines on the side.

Calzaghe was a p.u.s.s.y. at best.

He waited for RJJ and BHOP to lose quite a few steps before he would even put foot in the same arena as them, let alone the same ring.

Both RJJ and BHOP told him years before that he could get it. Joe would have NO PART OF IT.

I'm not saying that Calzaghe doesn't have some skill ... but he would have never beaten RJJ or BHOP in their primes.

I have no doubts about it.

There's a reason why Joe Calzaghe hid out in Europe for all those years .. and it wasn't because he adored his fans!

it's a drill to work endurance, isn't meant to showcase power. brutal too, doesn't take long for your arms to feel like roadkill lit on fire. lot of boxers do similar routines.

This is correct.

Those punches are no joke, he ended Hopkins career with them.

That's not true at all,hopkins career should of been finished a long time ago due to his age but he did things at his age no other boxer or not many boxers can do..he was still strong after the calzaghe fight..and to me hopkins won that fight..joe landed more punches but after the fight you could tell that hopkins did more damage with his punches..joe's face looked much worse.
