Eubank doesn't get dropped by china hands, only the most brutal punchers drop Eubank, I.E Benn, Calzaghe achieved that status when he dropped mr Iron Clad jaw himself, twice! proving he has exceptional power, plus look at his early KO %, it was brilliant. All you have highlighted is, unlike many boxers, Calzaghe proves he wasn't just a KO king, he had a wealthy of ability in his locker, which makes him a rare breed of fighter, probably the greatest ever technical fighter, and the greatest ever natrual ability. Thanks.
Even though you're a wanker and I'm generally obliged to disagree with everything you post (which is easy, because it is mostly crap), I will give Calzaghe credit for beating Eubank, a very good win in all respects. How you can say that Calzaghe is "probably the greatest ever technical fighter" though, ****ing hell, even for you, that is outlandish! Calzaghe can't even punch properly, and he got dropped by two old men because he has a leaky defense. Also if were talking KO ratios, Hamed's is nearly 85% against arguabley better opposition, Calzaghe's is a pitiful 69%, mostly against bums.
He got caught off balance and flush, in the first min, of his first fight outside of Wales, against a prime natrually bigger man in Hopkins, it happens to anyone, and look what Hopkins got for his troubles, a 9-10 round thrashing of a lifetime. Jones had to hit him bone on Bone, and is an ex HW champion, and a lot bigger, hardly a bad KD when analysed, again, look what he got for his troubles. Calzaghe fires off precision, slicing perfectly timed punches, add that to his ring generalship, lateral movement, ( check out how he made a fool of lightning fast RJJ with his goading!) footwork, and ability to adapt to any fighter during their fight, he is worlds apart from anyone else. Hamed ducked as many people as he could, if you want to look at other stats, Calzaghe has a big fat 0 under his loss column, hamed doesn't.
If Calzaghe ever steps up and takes on a prime version of an ATG then he will have a loss on his record also. At least Hamed had the balls to step up. The funny thing is, Calzaghe is rewarded for staying in Wales and fighting bums for a decade with an unbeaten record and plenty of praise. Hamed could have done exactly the same, stayed in England, hid behind a lightly regarded strap and defended it against nobodies for an indefinete period of time, if he had done that, people like you would now be his biggest fan and be calling him an ATG.
Ya-Ni , you just prove how dumb you are by saying things like this... so I am assuming you started to watch boxing when Calzaghe beat Kessler?
He is certainly the worst regular poster. He he also a latent homosexual with a Joe Calzaghe obsession.
LOL EUBANK ,,, Do you know anything about history and the circumstances behind that fight? NO , you don't
its pretty bad, I remember the post of him talking about how good looking british male actors are,, how Calzaghe is the best looking boxer , how he likes fashion and shopping , and how he likes to take it from the rear
Joe's chin would not hold up a against devastating puncher such as Marciano, if decent punchers like Hopkins and Jones could floor him, I'm pretty sure Marciano would decapitate him.
look at the dudes avatar, he is like 4 feet tall, and is built like a little girl! You should see his comments on my Hamed/Calzaghe legacy thread, hilariously dumb!
They could each beat the other. I think Calzhage if he can land hard enough can keep anyone preoccupied an then pour on the physical endurance. (If you've got power,speed an endurance you can lack some power-highly debateable with Calzhage cuz he just grows remember the saying he has no flaws -just hand problems-an weight?)It's what makes anyone nearly unbeatable. He has such a work rate TRULY special. The rock truly awesome just kept coming in the truest sense in mine an most judgement an didn't lack. He had a look to me that was impossible for anyone to beat the more I study it always happens. I'd say the same for Calzhage. If you pulled my pants down an spanked me I'd have to say calzhage.:happy
