    How does having bad technique and sub standard defense make you a complete fighter?

    Spoilsport.

    Seems that brittle hands is a thing this guy looks for in a fighter.

    Theres nothing too wrong with his defence he's just a very attacking boxer so he leaves himself more open to shots thats all.....he hasn't lost so its not soooo bad

    It's true he doesn't punch with proper technique though, often.

    I hate the fact that his left hand is ****ed....cos he was KO artist back before the knuckle breaks......hell he put Eubank on his backside which Nigel Benn couldnt do and he was a beast!!!

    Yeah thats true of course thats why people call him Calslappy...which I find funny!!

    But his right jab is something he brings out when the all out combos arent working....and his jab is very fast for a fairly big guy....

    Calzaghes flaw has always been his instinct to want a scrap and entertain the fans........so that much is true but as we now know in retrospect his UD over Bika was a good one and Bika is a dirty as they get, and all joe did was strut and laugh in his face

    The only thing that is annoying about people saying things about Calzaghe is the never fought out of Wales thing.......he fought in Denmark, Germany, England and Wales.....and yes, theyre all Europe but its not like he fought every guy in the Millienium stadium!! Hell he beat Lacy in Manchester in England, and when he fought in England 10 years or so ago he was booed and heckled by most the fans!

    He proved how great his jab was against Kessler.

    He's amongst the best in the world with this punch.
