LOL @ this crybaby spammer. Posting after anyone hoping for a free swig of Calzaghe's nut.. This is a serious list, an adult boxing forum, whiner. STFU. Take the nut juggling agenda somewhere else. Enough with the stalking. Annoying ****.. Nobody is even thinking about your boyfriend Joe, *****.
Pre Injury. Nothing wrong with that technique. [yt]eC2us3PNmvM[/yt] [yt]35KqYUKUazg&feature[/yt] [yt]MJ_Vt6h0z4w&feature[/yt] Post Injury the difference is visable. Not pretty.
When he was younger his punching technique was slightly better and saw him fight with much more power. Calzaghe has always had numerous injuries to his body. Even if you argue that his punching technique isn't because of his weak body, it doesn't change the fact that all he isn't doing is turning his punches over/under. The rest of his mechanics are okay.
I think there is a noteable difference in his technique before/after injury, but each to their own, I wasnt trying to convince you . His style is off-putting to many as the poll indicates.
I don't think there's such a thing as "ugliest punching technique"... dirtiest maybe, but in fact, I always liked guys with the most awkward style, Darchinyan, Hamed, Calzaghe... Hopkins and Bika are usually dirty. Still they manage to secure wins without being dirty, like vs. Pavlik or Manfredo, but I don't like when they go dirty. But being awkward is hardly the same as being ugly or dirty. Just look at Darchinyan... this unusual style of his makes him totally unpredictable, even for someone like Mijares. Works for the defense as well and sets up traps as well... there's nothing ugly in it. In fact it's pure awkward beauty, there's no one else out there like Vic Darchinyan... This content is protected
Same old slappin calfaggy. All he does is slap all through his career. No power ever and uses his hands as an excuse. You would think he would just man up and bust his hands every fight instead of adapting. If you watch the 3rd clip with the eubank knockdown, eubank gets up and while being counted finds time to wait with his pose. Quality.
