I wouldn't agree with you that he was such a banger in his younger days, because a lot of his stoppages came more because of his swamping the opponents with punches, rather than straight knockout power. I think it was the Tyrone Jackson fight was where Jackson was actually mocking Calzaghe and standing there arms down as Calzaghe threw 9 or 10 unanswered, and was goofing off, and when the ref stepped in Jackson went ballistic cause he wasn't in trouble and was taking all that Calzaghe threw with ease. But then again, Calzaghe was one of only six of his opponents who managed to stop him, despite him losing 32 fights in all.
Maybe not the elite in terms of power, but Calzaghe could hit hard imo, i have seen most of his fights, and has left alot of opponents in a bad way.
