    They weren't home town stoppages. A lot were legit TKO's where he had the guy hurt, on the canvas multiple times or both.

    The guy could bang in his earlier years, as is evident by the way he put down iron chinned Chris Eubank.

    Dont exaggerate Eubank just lost his footing when Calzaghe Cliped him as he was moving backwards. Eubank got up immediately, literally on the **** of 1.

    Compare the Calzaghe Knockdown to RJJ with the one that JC inflicted on Eubank and then you will understand what being hurt/stunned really looks like.

    Pish! He could bang, he came back brilliantly from a knock down, and showed great heart.

    Not as hard as he used to, but he's obviously not featherfisted like say Paulie M otherwise he wouldn't have around 31 KOs out of 46 wins

    Calzaghe was hardly hurt. He was stunned because he got caught on the bridge of his nose with a forearm shot. He got up inside 2 and carried on pressuring Roy from the center of the ring.

    He didn't lose his footing, Calzaghe put him down legit, back pedalling or not not many people put Eubank on the canvas.

    I've seen some of his earlier fights and the guy could bang. He wasn't a one-punch knock out artist, that much was a myth, but he was heavy handed, quicker and could hurt people.

    He clearly has no power what so ever because look at all the fighters that have walked straight though his slaps.

    Clearly you're looking for a reaction with your ridiculous, biased, Calzaghe hating post. Of course he had power. He just couldn't use it after damaging his hands.

    Are we supposed to be looking at his flailing, ***goty slaps, or the terrible stoppage?
