    Needs to go back to the drawing board

    Ive noticed through his career moving further forward and fighting purely on the inside. His biomechanics do not suit this style. he has ape like arms and great leverage for a long distance European style.

    when he fights on the outside he looks good.

    he just wants to be brave, much like khan used to try. both are not inside fighters and should either hold or step to the side not and their and throw ****ty light combos which don't discourage anyone from working on the inside.

    he needs to stop being brave get a new trainer then I think he could challenge at the highest level again (minus kov)

    Yeah all that bravado needs to be taken out, the sticking out the tongue bs as if he's not hurt as if he's calzaghe.

    Windmilling his arms like he's in complete control of the fight when he's in the middle of an unnecessary slugfest getting his face dismantled

    If he keeps fighting like that, he will end up looking like Mickey Rourke.

    name 5? hmm that difficult ,the ones who should be there moved up because the division was so dire.

    the fact that sven and joe are 2 the more accomplished smws doesn't really say wonders for the divisions early years.

    its acceptable that they are both backdoor hofers, but atg they aint. Neither did one thing great - calzaghes best acheviement is unification a defence against a good opponent. atgs have ten to a penny of good opponents.


    but the atgs will come. ward is a probable. sven would have been a probable if he hadn't lost his titles on so many occasions and his resume wasn't a lie.

    Who is teaching him to stay in the pocket the whole fight and throw gay combos with no power.

    I know he lacks stopping power. But when he fights long at least his punches have some snap.

    He's gone backwards.

    I understand sometimes its good fun to stay in there and throw but not of your **** at it

    I agree, if he boxed how he used to on the outside I reckon he could have won that fight quite easily.
