Why was calzaghe able to throw so many punches?

Still talking trash a about Joe... The resentment!

 

A cynic would say that it was because his career was pre 2009 :!:

 

Calzghe had the most unorthodox style in recent boxing history.
He had great stamina and the ability to slap pitty-pat slaps non-stop.

He beat so many because his style was so unorthodox his opponent couldn't figure out his style becasue probably no fighter in history had effectively used it.

 

... Or just a great combination puncher with immense conditioning.:happy

 

Aaron Pryor was a combination PUNCHER.
Not to be confused with a combination slapper. :bbb

 

Because he didn't sit down on his shots...Just relaxed and flapped away...conservation of energy.

 

Yer. He had great stamina either way but throwing a full power shot takes a lot more energy out of you.

 

He had really good stamina and didn't load up on shots

 

Calzaghe was not able to throw legitimate scoring punches He SLAPPED like a little girl guideatsch

 

he used to jog up hills

 

He trained for that. He was a hard worker that put in the work, and conditioned himself to fight in a manner that allowed him to outwork his opponents.

 

Harry Greb

 

I think his speed and punch output comes down to his punch style. He flurried with his palms, illegal in my book.

 

He ran a lot, 6 miles a day which incorporated 150m sprints and the area his gym is located is very hilly so most of the run would be up and down hills. This length and intensity of running probably helped a lot with his stamina and work rate.
