    All in all considering age and hand injuries his hand speed is terrific for a SMW-LHW.

    I agree, he looks exceptionally fast throwing in that clip.

    Funny.

    Do a search on the threads you've started.

    Every second thread "Calzaghe".

    You're telling me to get over him? Every thread you create has some attack involved on Joe Calzaghe.

    You're obsessed, sounds like he ****ed your mother and didn't pay her a cent afterwards.

    You're a joke.

    MultiDude I am British. I post about Hatton, Calzaghe, Haye, and the British boxing scene a lot.

    I believe that Calzaghe still has great hand speed. Personally I think Joes hand speed is currently superior to that of Roy Jones - and will play a factor in the fight. A lot of people state that he has lost a considerable amount of speed. I see no harm in questioning that.

    Of course he has lost some of his speed, what a stupid question. That doesn't mean he isn't still relatively quick at present, but so is Roy Jones, does that mean he hasn't slowed down? No, of course not.

    The question is how much speed has he lost?

    Okay, yeah i'd say it is significant enough. It just seems like a difficult thing to determine because he is still relatively fast.
