    That video is the exact reason why I have issues with Calzaghes 'greatness'.

    What, because he threw his hands at a heavy bag?

    I hate this video. What he does there means **** all regarding his boxing ability.

    No because of the lack of technique in doing it..... I just think he looks massively undisciplined when he fights... But he is very effective. I just think he is much better then he looks coz tbh at times he looks atrocious.

    That video and every video of him slapping his opponents around in a comically bad fashion may be the reason Calzaghe is the very best fighter in history.

    It is basically subjective and cannot be outright denied.

    The military need to get a Calzaghe DNA sample and merge It with someone with less brittle hands.

    He cant punch, he cant showboat, he has no positive things to say...

    He's a marketing nightmare.

    He broke the centre knuckle on his left hand on Evans Ashira's head.........a ridiculous fight in the first place not atypical of Calzaghe slumber years and wasted defences

    He does have a nice southpaw jab and an effective straight left though, it tends to be when he tries to combine left and right hooks that he starts to windmill and flail

    Hence the name Calslappy as some people say.......still, not done bad for himself considering eh?
