    Joe Calzaghe in his younger days had a brilliant horizontal uppercut.

    Did Calzaghe ever have a brilliant vertical hook?

    Probably as he was afraid of being countered after it .

    He does have a very good uppercut though , throws it with a lot of power .

    He throws a beautiful one in the 12th. feint jab then right uppercut that sends Pacs head flying backwards. Slowmo version of it is amazing.

    against Alicea he knocked him out with a huge uppercut/straight/uppercut combo...it was nasty. Alicea's big ass just fell like a brick.

    He also knocked out Steve Robinson and Tom Johnson with uppercuts if i remember correctly. Its like a hook/uppercut.

    Tyson's uppercut on "Mike Tyson's Punch Out" is tops. He was one of the most devastating video game sports entities ever, a little behind "Tecmo Bowl" Bo Jackson who is for my money, the GOAT!!

    Lets define an uppercut, or better yet a punch. Calzaghe does neither. You have to connect with knuckle that connects your fingers to your hand not the inside of your glove. That is a ***** punch or a slap. Calzaghe throws side armed ***gy punches. Oh and Mike Tyson all time, he threw them lightning fast in in combinations. Zab now, b/c he does the mike shuffle and can counter or lead with his left uppercut b/c he is so damned fast. You may hate Zab but I love his offense.
