    Come on your grasping now. Talk about boxers fighting within themselves is pure specualtion. You take the one fight where Joe got a reasonable stoppage, the mitchell fight and turn it in to Joe could do that all the time if he wanted to. Every fighter in history has looked impressive stopping someone once in their career. Joe didn't want to stop Lacy, Kessler, Hopkins he just went twelve rounds for the pure fun of it.Jesus christ. Lets do this with Tyson, if he looked as impressive against everyone he fought as he did against Berbick he would destroy everyone. How about Lacy, he blew guys out in the first round early in his career, same would have happened if he was trying against Calzaghe, he just couldn't be bothered. Calzaghe is a great boxer but don't try and turn him in to something he is not.

    It's hard to believe that Joe, chasing the Hopkins fight from behind, who he himself originally clearly believed he had lost at the end; didn't throw absolutely everything into the mix. He is facing his first defeat and hes still holding back on punches? I can't see it. Joe seems like the kind of guy who would throw absolutely everything into the mix to me and risk a broken hand.

    Not a very meaningful statistic.



    Judah was not KO'd by Tszyu, but he was ****ed up and stopped.

    Roy Jones was not KO'd by Tarver, but he was stopped and looked pretty gone.

    Gatti was not KO'd by Mayweather, but he was a a hurtin' unit at the end.



    And, for your information, Iron Mike NEVER scored a real KO in his entire career.


















































    (Some of his opponents were just so scared of what was coming their way that they lay down and played possum. Gutless fakers!!!)

    Mayweather didn't "KO" Hatton, but hatton would never have made the count - so strictly speaking a TKO might just as well be a KO.

    Mario Veit went down twice in like 90 seconds - if that isn't power I don't know what is.

    Besides, it's hard to KO someone who covers up the whole time which is what you do when you face a superior fighter.

    You are a cretin. What do you mean "all but a KO"? It wasn't a KO. Calzaghe stopping Mitchell, Veit and Sheika were "all but KO's" but you don't count them do you?

    Your entire point is pathetic. You keep talking about it being a poor record but vast numbers of so called big punchers still only have about 3 or 4 actual KOs on the record.
    Sometimes the ref waves a fight off with the fighter still on the ground and even though he would have been out for the 10 count it then classes as a TKO.

    In recent years when Joe has thrown his left hand properly it has ended up in a mess. Calzaghe has always possessed power but in recent times has adapted to throw more clusters to avoid needing the big shots and not ****ing his hand up. Anyone who's followed his career from the start would know that and not start lame threads like this

    i like calzaghe.

    i am a fan of calzaghe.

    statistics are what politicans use to suit there particular agenda and mean little in boxing.

    victor oganov had 26 wins 26 ko`s.

    i watched him fight for the very first time v zuniga.
    those 26 ko`s meant nothing, he was a technically poor fighter.

    Why do you draw such a distinction between KO's and TKO's ?

    I actually like Joe Calzaghe, I think hes a good boxer.

    I just don't believe him to be a power puncher. If you cant accept that and that someone may actually have a different viewpoint which doesn't echo your fanatical ways, then thats your problem.
