Thats why he was favourite to beat Calzaghe by everyone :think lets face it when you get an American fighter doing well he is always going to be the next best thing Kelly Pavlik was supposed to be the great white hope that Calzaghe ran away from but then he gets school by old man Hopkins Chad Dawson was the same until he ran into Pascal Now Andre Ward has beat an always limited fighter in Froch people are hailing him as the new pound for pound, I can not wait until that bubble bursts Seth Mitchell is the only American right now who i say is genuinely looking to be a good prospect, Id like to see him against Kevin Johnson next given that those two had a run in not so long ago
Hate Andre Ward i see Andre Ward - schooled Abraham - Beat up 42-1 Kessler - schooled Froch no one is gonna burst his bubble anytime soon....sorry to break that to you
Lacy wasn't all hype. He was the super middleweight Mike Tyson, incase all you Americans who labeled him that have forgotten. Calzaghe ruined him and that shoulder injury finished him. Canelo could be the next one to get smashed and destroyed for good. He is allowed to get away with soft fights now hiding behind his age, in a couple more years he won't be allowed that and a top fighter is inevitably gonna hurt him real good.
JuanMa Lopez. Hailed by many as the new coming of Tito Trinidad...got whooped by Orlando Salido with 11 losses (a good fighter tho) in his own territory. He can still redeem himself i suppose, but from seeing his last fight, im not so sure.
Ortiz got smashed, but it wasn't for good. Remember, he came back to get some wins against Antonio Diaz, Harris, Campbell, and Berto. He made a case for himself and was able to get a huge payday against Mayweather. But maybe now, due to those shots he took without defending himself from Floyd ruined him. We'll see how he does against the Berto in their rematch.
