Well, true, I'll concede that 'faking anothers punches on you' and 'faking your own punches perceived effect' are on different levels, the former is a direct cheat but still a common tool(Calzaghe used it too), the latter is a boxing tool to pick up points a la Sugar Ray Leonard v Hagler. I was definitely below the belt there, if you'll forgive the pun.
Mind you, I think you'll find the nickname Calslappy is well known in boxing, so I'm happy to be in a good company not knowing what its talking about.

Dont think Jeff Lacy would agree with you.![]()
Balls
thank you! an excellent example of a single fight that I was trying to get you to post.
You are right that its unfair for Calzaghe to be judged as a slap artist on the basis of only a portion of his fights. I am glad you agree that it would be much fairer to judge fighters on their performance on each fight alone - which is my point in being, no one should judge BHop's performance against Dawson on the basis of a previous fight he cheated in.

That is true but it was hard not to think he was faking it when you look at the amount of times in a fight that he did something illegal. Literally almost every single fight. I think what might have happened is that Hopkins was doing another of his moves where he tries to buy time by saying he was hurt and then after taking 5 minutes off he comes back.
