Why Do People Say Calzaghe Was A Slapper or Featherfisted?

[coghaugen]

I thought Kessler was a better fighter than Brewer.

Not really, quite straight-forward and beat nobody of note. Calzaghe was dead at the weight at that time and with his hands full of cortisol injections, really there for the taking.

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.

My bad man I was just trolling. Calzaghe is definitely over-rated a ****, there's no doubt about it. I can say with 100% confidence that my post history has no sign of Calzaghe support.

His fast flurries looked like they grazed opponents but watch some of them in slow motion and you'll see they weren't merely slaps

Anyone who says he was featherfisted DKSAB.

Glencoffe woulda got slapped up, FAX.

it's pretty impressive what he was able to do with such jacked up hands and you have to wonder how dominant he would have been with 2 good fists

wasn't pretty to watch when he went into full slap mode though

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.

Wait, what?? Frazier knocked out prime opposition? like who?

How was Calzaghe almost stopped on a flash knockdown? Joe was nowhere near to being stopped.

The low blow didn't come until the later rounds. So how did Joe survive getting knocked out by low blowing Hopkins??

You ******s are always all over the place. Sit down American and shut-up.

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.

Mitchell was hurt and wobbling all over the place from tons of unanswered punches. It was a good stoppage.

You Americans are dumb as ****. As well as being poisonous. Suck it up *****.

[IronDanHamza]

Yes he was in the 90s in Britain.

No he wasn't.

if u had any sense then you would have not entered into a "frazier dont come close to joe calzaghe!" debate. I mean, really?

but you had to be a fool didnt you? what kind of joke are you? frazier koed mathis, foster, stopped ellis and quarry, and pretitle stopped chuvalo.

How was Calzaghe almost stopped on a flash knockdown? Joe was nowhere near to being stopped.

yeh thats why the ref jumped into stop it seconds later. some coincidence, sherlock.

The low blow didn't come until the later rounds.

2nd round genius. You clearly havent a clue what you are talking about.

You ******s are always all over the place. Sit down American and shut-up.

not american - again you are exposed not knowing what you are talking about. I agree about the first point though, you being primary evidence.
