Why Do People Say Calzaghe Was A Slapper or Featherfisted?

[McNulty]

Bro Manfredo could've been killed had the ref not jumped in.

Shut the fùck up. I'm sick and tired if you clowns and your generic responses. Joe got dropped and almost stopped by a fùcking no-name Byron Mitchell (who also got stopped on a fix) and I'm pretty sure Manfredo Jr. is better than that.

Joe had some skills, but he was super protected and enjoyed hometown cooking his entire career.

Never, ever was Calzaghe considered a "pure power puncher"

Well there was that episode of Powder Puff Girls where Joe decked "Mojo".

Joe certianly was resourceful. He was also well coached, athletic and smart about his craft. But like more than a few...he never really challenged himself and fought competition that could be beat by a resourceful, athletic, driven guy with a high punch volume.

Smokin' Joe Calzaghe, threw flurries so fast the naked eye couldn't pick them up.

shame he didnt land with most of them. shouldda slowed down and landed more.

thuogh to be fair he did well, with 7 recognised defences, thats pretty goo!, on par with froch and ward, i think, or thereabouts.


name - thats fraziers name, JC never smoked.

He smoked America's last three "great" Middleweights. Jones, Hopkins and... Lacy.

smoked applied to frazier knocking out prime opposition late on.

JC didnt knock any of them out due to his limited power, and moreover 2 of them were past prime, one should have been retired. so absolutely no, you are wrong on so many levels.

He was however almost stopped himself by hopkins in round 1 had he not lowlbowed bernard to survive.

So maybe you can call him "nearly-smoked-by-a-43-year-old-if-hadnt-cheated" joe calzaghe.

Can add Byron Mitchell and Omar Sheika to the list Joe smoked. Also Peter Manfredo defo got smoked.

byron was stopped by the welsh ref on a slip, about 60 seconds after clean dropping joe and joes panicky 30 punch "arm punch" barrage coming close to gassing joe out. the only person smoking something there is you.

However you are free to claim the great Omar Sheika was smoked, wear it with pride.

I'd really advice you NOT to claim Manfredo was smoked, because that means 3 arm taps constitutes smoking.

the tears in this thread If joe was so crap

they didnt say he was crap, they said he had skills.
Seems its just you crying then. Better stop soon.

7 recognised title defences is clearly world class, and even 1 of them was against elite opposition,
