Is Joe Calzaghe a Slapper?

[moochi]

**** no........for a man with as fragile hands as his, and with as many knockouts as he has..........how on earth could he be considered that!....it may look so from the naked eye, but the obvious is the obvious when the man is KTFO!....

remember that calzaghe's hands are that fragile that he doesnt' even spar!

[ejk22]

Yes, he slapped the taste out of Lacy's mouth for 12 rounds.

funny, but hey even if he does slap it gets the job done, would you agree with Steward that Mosley slaps? well he still managed to drop Vargas, & that wasn't a slap.

[Obdeboondocks]

first time i saw him fight was the lacey, saw a fair share of the slaps.

[Shanus]

Yeah he slaps, but he gets the job done.

He doesn't slap with the palm of his hand, but he doesn't hit squarely with his fist, it's an inbetween, its the shape of his hand when he throws the punch, looks like a slap, but he hits with his knuckles.

Make no mistake, the vast majority of his shots against Lacy were slaps.

He cuffs with the palm side of the glove, a very dirty tactict in the ring. If the ref allows it then its all good though.

Remember, slapping is a foul. You just dont have to normaly warn the pros, it usually will be directed toward the amatuers.

No, slapping..... Turn the shots over! Boxing 050

Do you think he could actually be more effective if he didn't slap? Could he be even more succesful than he already is, or is he using it to his own benefit? either way, it was a boxing masterclass.
