    When Calzaghe fought Hopkins he changed his style to a slower more powerful boxer, which far from worked as he didn't even hurt Hopkins, although Calzaghe won comfortably on point (IMO) he still didn't put in his best performance.
    Calzaghe should realise what kind of fighter he is, if anything he should pretend he isn't Welsh. :yep

    All that being said and you dont make no sense. Balance is balance. Pressure???? please go into detail how pressure is condusive of footwork. Mobility in offense is upper body mobility. JT regularly, regularly punches in an awkard stance with his feet wide apart especially when he is trying to throw a power punch. You said he had good...no GREAT footwork or you agreed with such. None of you explained how balance is footwork. Balance is balance. I am trying not to laugh at you b/c you are trying to sound smart but you really dont make sense. I have a question for you. Can you have bad balance and good footwork. I see it all the time. Guys that can move well in the ring, but go down when hit with a slightly hard shot. Kendall Holt or Chad Dawson for example. That is an example of good footwork. I will throw in Cory Spinks who actually uses his footwork for offense and defense. You say what Taylor is doing is NORMAL defensive boxing. I rest my case.

    :rofl You clowns are hilarious. All that but still no cohesion to GREAT footwork. I asked for video evidence. I can back up anything I say with video evidence and break down for the so called boxing gurus who are jokes.

    Look - a lot of guys are trying to tell you, gentLy, that you're talking ****ing ****. On the other hand, a lot of guys are agreeing with the opposite point of view.

    You're asking for "video evidence" and you're asking dumb questions and you're misquoting what's been said to you, but even if you got everything you asked for you would still complain. I'm not getting into a 5 page debate with you where you post more emoticons than sense. Sorry.

    I'll even acknowledge the tiny possibility that you are right and everyone else is wrong.

    You post more words than you make sense. Go figure. I feel like I am talking to an Amsterdam wannabe. Are you even athletic? Just curious.
