So I just watched Calzaghe-Lacy and........

[IamInuit]

Clearly the face of a man slapped half to death.

There's no denying that Calzaghe is more of a slapper than a proper puncher. It's hard to blame the guy cuz his hands are so brittle but it is what it is. I know many people are turned off by him due to his slapping style..

Lacy's face was a mess but that's not because he got punched so many times. He got slapped but even slaps can damage your face if it lands enough for 12 rounds..

Calzaghe has brittle hands and he doesn't clinch his fists tightly all the time when punching.

Oh he had softer hands after about the time of Shieka but that's from breaking them knocking people out. He had one of the best ko% in the game for quite some time. The whole Calslappy thing got taken way out to the cosmos not unlike Lewis's weak chin or Tito's. The two punches that stopped Lewis would have stopped a farm tractor and Tito had a balance issue and got knocked down because of it. He would then get up and destroy his opponent. Cal still hurt people even if he had to change punch direction. I bet Kessler would say he didn't slap.
