He has broke his hands many times in his career and has developed this punch/slap to save his hands from further damage.

ha... Yes he has... Yes he has

But I think you're right so CC
CC back . No it's true, he was a very hard puncher but as a young lad he never wrapped his hands. Every now and again you see a proper shot but its mostly 'slapping' and he aint done too bad with it to be honest.
I hear ya... I think he should have been exposed to the American public years ago... His style is exciting... It's friggin sad that we're just seeing the twilight of his career... Most Americans got to see the Lacy fight and thats it... He F****** destroyed Lacy(Awsome fight) but hus promotion sucked(I've seen the Eubank fight and a handfull more)I can't wait for Lacys return...
I agree, but the money in the UK is to good to turn down, look at Eubank he made about 20 million in the ring without fighting any American star, or travelling. Calzaghe made huge mistake after battering Sheika in 2000 he should of fought in America and cashed in who knows where Calzaghe would be now if that happened. Shame really.
i feel the same how it's a shame
i always used to feel that Calzaghe never got the credit he deserved he should have been taken international years ago every fight i watchedi just felt bad for him.IMO he deserved a big pay day
But Good old Franky boy knows best huh
I lost respect for Calzaghe after the Lacy fight not for his boxing ability just his stupid fucking showboating it was like he thought cus he had americans watching he cud behave like a bit of an idiot IMO and that just dont do it fo me

i think the punching/slapping is due to hand breaks
