yes, lacy had been overrated, but joe put on a spectacular performance of speed, tactic and stamina!! never had he looked so sharp and switched on!!! you cannot dismiss a great fighter on his opponent aloned! and the fact is, it was a great performance , deadly quick an explosive combinations left lacy dazed and more than a litle confused! while lacy has been overrated, calzage made him look like some bum joneyman with a good chin, not a contender!!!!!
Your right, Calzaghe did all he could against Lacy, better than the rest of the fighters in the division, who probly would have lost to lacy. But if Calzaghe was to retire tomorrow he woulden't be remembered in the same way someone like Nigel Benn is, he needs to beat Tarver,Woods and/or Johnson to cement his place as one of the Greatest Fighters to come out of Wales/Britain.
agreed!! :) i am waiting with bated breath for the tickets to go on sale for the millenium stadium (rumoured that the fight will take place there) i have heard thaat it will be tarver! so we can only wait!!
its nice to chat about a real sport for a change!!! :)
