If everyone fought like Joe Calzaghe, would you be a boxing fan?

    Defnitely not.

    Its every fighter's different styles that makes Boxing what it is

    Nope. For one, I can't stand his style of fighting. On top of that, as another poster mentioned, stylistic varieties is one of the great joys of boxing and with only one style so much that I love about the sport would disappear.

    Everytime I watch his Lacey fight I realize how **** he was,moron...although the looks of shock and awe of the Yanks in the audience snap me out of it.

    I'd love Boxing even more, I'm Joe's number 1 fan, he's the 2nd greatest fighter that ever lived.

    Nathan Cleverly is 1st.

    :lol: He was a good good fighter id be deluded and idiotic to say otherwise, didn't like the style but it was very effective. I also have to give him credit for being able to adapt mid fight and emerge victorious, not many fighters can do that.

    (Still a cherrypicking twat though) ;)

    If everyone fought with the same style I wouldn't watch boxing, even if every boxer was an Arturo Gatti wannabe:D

    I like a mixture of styles, depending om what im in the mood to watch. Slick boxer-puncher, pressure fighters, and even styles like Joe Calzaghe, not very pleasing to the eye yet tactically very good, have their place:good

    That's what I love ,at the end it shows Hopkins dropping Calzaghe with his famed one-two, but at 8:17 you see Calzaghe land his own (slappy) one-two that Hopkins just does not see coming

    the guy just adapts
