    Joe is a talented fighter, I have no doubts about that. But he does slap.

    You're right, he doesn't throw punches, he sort of flaps his arms landing punches, but I'm talking about the way he lands, they do actually land with his knuckles, which is why I think he always damages his wrists, because of the way he lands his punches.

      there is a difference between slapping and what calzaghe did against lacy. in the fight with lacy he fought alot like mayweathe vs corrales as he didnt turn his punches over all of the way. when you do this you can still generate alot of power but your chin is not protected as well . and puching like that on the inside is good becuase you can protect yourself better but from the outside you can get countered

        Joe is able to keep his guys on the defense with his slapping. There is no way that if Joe was throwing punches instead of slapping with them that he gets off as many shots in such a short span of time. This keeps guys on the defense.

        Slapping is not legal in boxing, amatuer or pro. Joes a slapper!

        You tell 'em, Rockin'! Joe's speed is ****, and he only beat Lacy because he was slapping.

        You ought to mail Joe and tell him... I'm sure a pro who's 41 (31)-0 with a 13 year career could do with some tips off a 3-4-0 novice.

          i feel like joe might kind of slap with his right hook, but ive only seen two of his fights, so i guess i dont have the background to say that i think he's a slapper.

                  If its about slapping, I agree that he could use some advice.

                  Why dont you fill us in on your career in the ring CA3.

                  I had about 70 total fights. How many have you had?

                  If you need advice too, just let me know.
