      Home cooking, he feasted well. He was a knowledgeable boxer but the excuse of his hands being brittle doesn't help the fact that he couldn't break wind let alone an egg!
      Good boxer, not a great one, did well for himslf and now he's undefeated ha!

        Calzaghe's Resume is mediocre. It's not terrible. But Hopkins did beat him.

            Because they know he lives in Wales and who's not going to be envious of that.

              it's no coincidence boxers with "bad" hands, have horrible punching technique

              malignaggi "my hands are just brittle"

              no, you slap with your fist, that's why you hurt your hands

                  He just doesn't have the big impact on the sport and wasn't an atg, just a HOFer

                  His biggest wins came late in his and sometimes opponent's career..

                  Maybe had he stayed around and beaten Tarver, pavlik, froch, etc or if he had better wins early in his career he would be regarded higher

                      All of his fights save for the last two, took place overseas. He had virtually no U.S. exposure, and the only notable American fighters he faced were past-prime Jones and Hopkins, and an overrated Lacy, who couldn't take a punch.
