Father and Son - 20years of lost potential?

[donnydarkoIRL]

Could someone please explain to me how someone who already has an absolutely 100% perfect record could have done any better?

Calzaghe has done very well.
It's rediculous to suggest that more is wanted from him.
(Although just you wait, someone will jump in saying he should have fought x y z.)

I'm just suggesting that Joe is good because of Joe.

apparetley they don't watch other oppoenents fights - as joe says he fights the way he fights and he isn't going to toil over hours of videos and change his style for each differen fight.

I don't see any problem with this to be honest. Whatever works for him is fine by me. Some fighters like to analyse countless hours of tapes of their opponents others arn't concerned.

The correct choice depends entirely on the mindest of the fighter in question. Joe clearly isn't concerned with studying everything his opponent does. It's an equally valid opinion, after all what if you prepare meticulously for an opponent based on a careful study of his previous fights and he comes in and fights with a totally different gameplan against you?

And at the end of the day let's remember that Bhop studied everything about Joe yet he still lost to him so watching tapes of your opponent clearly isn't the deciding factor in a fight.

Well said about not studying tapes and why...Many top level fighters just leave that to their trainers and management just for that reason...I know a ton of fighters that rather just go in the ring and adjust as the fight progresses....So they don't go in and have a gameplan for just one style...then end up finding a whole different style to adjust to...Also it is possible they actually detract from their own selves by not working and keeping their own style sharp during training camp because they spent all their time trying to fight accodringly and missing thier own strong points

It show also the quality of a fighter if they can go in and just adjust to what is in front of them
