    Hopkins would have been 45-1 in that case as Calzaghe beat him.

    It's funny I was a casual fan when Calzaghe had is biggest wins I was totally convinced he was one of the greats, now I just laugh when I see clips of him :lol:

    I still like him though. Good fighter but not the best of styles nor competition

    To find out if a fighter is slick you just need to ask one question: what is the colour of his skin? The darker it is the slicker the fighter in question is. Only black fighters can be slick. Rule of esb general forum.

    Just because he wasn't black doesn't mean he wasnt slick? Thats just being ignorant.
    46 Fights. 46 Wins. including wins against names such as Jones Jr and Hopkins who are both considered two of the slickest fighters of the last 20 years.

    But he isn't black. I think you need to do your research.

    He's Eye-talian, so he's definitely greasy, but not slick.

    his high speed + his high volume + his good accuracy disabled the effectiveness of most atacks attempted on him ; and rarely, when his opponents had some minor succes, his chin would hold up; he didn't worry too much on slipping, shoulder-rolling
