He has had many hand injuries, and was never that powerful anyway. I really hope he punches straight against Jones though, If he throws 'slaps' like he did against Hopkins he will be open to Jones' right hand.
Im sick of hearing people say this...hopkins didnt start to slow down until his last fight. Even against winky wright he looked as good as ever...and he dominated Tarver before that. Calzaghe had just turned 36 when he fought hopkins and his punches clearly had no power to them. He shoulda lost that fight...all he did was b!tch slap hopkins gloves the whole fight...he won by a split decision over a 43 year old fighter.
When calslappy was 35 he had the win over manfredo where he got LUCKY....it was clearly a bad decision by the ref. You calzaghe stans make me sick
I'm not a Calzaghe fan either, Hate to watch him fight.
But the fact that he punches in a certain way ( Slaps ) to protect his hands is 100% true, Why else would he begin to punch that way?
I'm presuming you have seen some of his early fights? In which case you should know and if you haven't, Then this post is pointless, No?

lmao...he cant punch straight. Roy jones is gonna be laughin at calzaghe slaps and landin rights all night...calzaghe lost
why should his punches be harder at this point? Forget his hand injuries, he does not punch. He slaps like a girl...he aint no great fighter or legend. Lets see him get by roy jones and then take on kelly pavlik....it aint happening.
At this point calzaghe should have more power...but he doesnt because hes a chump whos gonna get ****ed up by roy jones. Roy already knows he cant be hurt...when calzaghe throws a punch he doesnt look like a boxer. He looks like a girl gettin mugged tryin to do whatever he can to survive...slappin and ****. He shoulda retired a couple years ago...calzaghe is not a great boxer. Great boxers dominate in their prime and last a long time (at least middle weights and up).

He will beat Roy imo. I don't think Roy has it left in him now, But has a good chance if he can land the right hand counter effectivly troughout the fight and keep up a good workrate.
