Why Do People Say Calzaghe Was A Slapper or Featherfisted?

[Evil_Meat]

Sure he was a different puncher at first but those injuries and brittle hands turned him into a slapper. Manfredo knockout was pure comic i still remember. It was as if the ref was payed to call a stoppage because he was looking for the first sign of danger to step in.

Calzaghe landing those girly slap combos cmon man Manfredo was not hurt at all. Bullsht british stoppage

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

Slappy isn't necessarily a bad thing if you are winning. RJJ was called slappy too. He was still a great fighter. Haters just need something to latch onto in order to talk up their favorite under-achieving fighters.

He slapped the **** out of Jeff Lacy ...

... be honest, how many of you picked Lacy to KO Calzaghe?

Those bull**** stoppages literally had me crying I can’t stop laughing

He has accomplished a lot for a slapper.

But seriously, I have never rooted for Calzaghe but I admit he has very good skills. He is very slick. Had good hand speed and most importantly, very active in the ring. He might be a slapper but his in-ring activity is something.

I don't beleive he was 'feather fisted' at all.

He did have fragile hands though.

He also had the 'slap style' that RJJ and Degale also use.
