    I don't wanna pay $50 to see a "pro boxer" impersonate Rick James!

    It's alright.

    In general, it's not that his fights are usually boring. They're ugly.

    So when you watch it, it's usually not "wake me up when something happens", like a Zahir Raheem or Cory Spinks. Joe's not boring the place out, because he throws a lot of leather, he's just ugly to watch because of his punching style.

    I hate bad Poll choices, which is all too common these days.

    To answer, yes, I enjoy his style.

    Great fights to watch, he boxes down to some of the fighter he fights, to make fan friendly, you got to be pretty good to do that......best fighter to watch, he had hopkins running like a girl, so thoes slaps must hurt, cause i think popkins need fake a low blow,,,,,,,,,,,

    Anyone who says that Calzaghe doesn't have power obviously has only taken notice of Calzaghe at the tail end of his career and is pretty ignorant of the bulk of Calzaghe career. The guys power has definately diminished and his style has been modified as he's gotten older. Throughout most of his career the guy had decent power. He has KO'd good opposition during his reign just not in the twighlight years of career.

    Somewhere between the first 2 options, not ALL of his fights have been exciting obviously.
