    Consensus opinion indicates that those calling him a slapper are horribly wrong. Nice try though kids.

    Hard enough to hurt Hopkins and stop him if Hopkins fights the wrong fight.

    Lacy still called him a slapper after the fight..lol Thats why Lacy was damaged goods. The mental aspect of being ***** slapped around the ring for 12 rounds. If Calzaghe had ANY real power he would of STOPPED Lacy or hurt him more then he did after landing clean and flush with HIS POWER shots for 12 rounds. He could not even stop Lacy from coming forward. If I slap you 400 times I bet your face will show the damage, that dont mean ****. His slapping shots are good at causing swelling and irritating slapping pain.

    I'm not a JC fan by any stretch but to say he "slaps" is just ******ed. He may not be a knock out artest but he can hit hard enough to do the job.

    He could have stopped Lacy at any point following the third round IMO.

    For me, he just wanted to impose maximum punishment on another overhyped Yank, and by going the distance, did just that.

    To be fair to Lacy, it was probably the only thing he did right in the fight, showing bravery to make it through to the end.

    Illogical/******ed.

    A guy with bad hands wants to put another 500+ punches on them just to "impose maximum punishment"? Think dude..think.

    Are you just another Yankee doodle in denial?

    If so, just admit your guy got totally owned and outclassed - I have only been watching boxing regularly for about four years, but that was the most one sided demolition job I have seen on a champion, in particular one who went in as an overwhelming favourite. Lacy in six was it?

    :p

    Slapper. He landed a few hundred punches on Lacy without stopping him.
