He is not my favorite fighter, i watched some of his fightes but i am by no means expert and would prefer volume puncher like Pac, at least he had also a quality with quantity.
I don't know what's available now or what you've seen. But on YouTube from over the years, I've seen the following: 2 documentaries, 1 of which is called: 'No Ordinary Joe' HBO's 24/7 series from his fights with Roy and Bernard A Ringside Special The build up to the Kessler fight Footage of him using the punch counting machine Try some of them if you haven't done already. The documentaries are really good. One of them shows you him running in the Welsh mountains. I think a young Nathan Cleverly is with him too.
Calzaghe was a great fighter who threw a lot of punches. The issues with labelling him an ATG "volume puncher" are that there is insufficient data on pre-80s fighters to take an informed view, and it isn't clear what the criteria for a great volume puncher actually is. Who throws the most punches or who best controls a fight with volume of punches (not quite the same thing)? Jirov for example threw a huge number of punches, particularly from a cruiserweight, and overwhelmed many of his opponents. When he fought an exceptional counter-puncher though, it was Toney rather than Jirov who dictated the terms of the fight. Was Jirov a great volume puncher? His punch stats may suggest he was, but when it came to effectiveness of volume punching, he probably wasn't (at least not as good a volume puncher as Toney was a counter-puncher)
Didn't he slap Jeff Lacy with something like 1000 plus scoring shots, lmfao that fella would have got 120-108'd had it not been for Calzaghe giving him a clip from around his back just to emphasise just how rubbish he was . That clip is probably the punch bag challenge where you see how many times you can hit the bag NOT how many times you can hit the bag with KO shots .
