    It's not the best weight credibility-wise and to my eye,a Haye or a Mormeck seem too big,so even fighters like Adamek might be too big.

    Calzaghe's natural walk around weight was more than Enzo Mac's, he could of crushed him easily.

    David Haye was the hardest hitter at CW. He carried his power nicely to HW.

    Audley and Haye have been mates for years.

    i think he could of won a belt at cruiserweight.
    i also think joe could of put on a few pounds and outboxed sam peter to win a part of the HEAVYWEIGHT title.

    He slapped at super middle as well. infact he slapped through his career.
    Guy had ZERO punching technique and ZERoi Fire power.

    For one he was small, second he was being dropped by shitty punchers at 175lbs.

    He knew when to call it a career.

    Calzaghe was advised to not even turn professional because of early hand troubles. So it's amazing how he managed to achieve what he did.

    What struck out to me was never the "slapping", but rather.. the way in which he imposed himself on fighters such as prime Mikkel Kessler.

    That is absolute bollocks, go watch Joe when he was younger before his hands were ruined.
