    Calzaghe was awkward as hell but i was really interested in how he would do with Chad Dawson, Froch, Bute etc.

    Sucks he retired he left unanswered questions.

    Slappy and Mayweather both look great on the pads. I'd say Mayweather looks a bit better because he actually sits down on some of his shots towards the end of his combos.

    When it comes to facing pads, not threats, those two are the best.

    Actually, he left a lot of unanswered questions when he was active.

    was going to say that actually Mayweather looks crazy but its different showing off and actually doing it against a live opponent.

    Leonard was awesome back in the day he could showboat mid combination and when you think hes fooling around takes your head off with a full bodied uppercut

    What size are those gloves? they look really big which makes it all the more impressive.

    Awesome skills :happy

    A bit slappy at times but very effective and highly skilled.
    HoF and ATG status awaits and rightly so :deal
