and in the manfredo fight he "slapped" i know exactly what u are talking about but those are "scoring slaps" much like jabs arent suppose to knock u out but just to score and to set up straight right and left hooks (opposite for right jabs)

he DOES have more in his arsenal than "slaps" though its not just you ICE but i've heard that a thousand times "especially after the manfredo fight, which was probably seen by more calzaghe haters than any other fight" about how calzaghe slaps and that would never work against winky, b-hop, j.t.. anyone that says that needs to simply watch more fights of joe because for every slap he throws and i'm talikng about his 10 YEAR REIGN HE ALSO SLAPS TH F**K OUT OF SOMEBODY

sorry the whole joe slapping is a pet pieve of mine
i dont like it when great boxers has a one word stigma attached to them that denagrates their abilities when it is manufactured by the haters.. its disrepectful to boxing as a whole and the intellgence of the boxer's fans

maybe i'm going a little overboard
Im not Calzaghe hater i just say it as i see it and he hardly landed clean punch on Manfredo yet he done that much damage to his hands Calzaghe has slapped the S*** out of people i'll give you that but against who exactly ?? and i've watched most of Calzaghes fights and he used to have alot more power now his fists are like feathers he is a great skilled boxer but he isn't a great what i mean by that is that he has got the skills of a great but his place at moment isn't a great in my opinion if he beats Kessler he will get my respect but we will wait and see.
