    That was when ESB was at its peak. The numb nuts on here who were convinced by Lacy, 'twas hilarious.

    Great performance by Calzaghe.

    I recall 99% of people on ESB were spouting how Lacy was the next big thing and that he was going to destroy Calzaghe...LMAO...too funny you really can't make this sh!t up.

    It of course turned out to be one of the greatest displays of ring generalship in boxing history.:yep:deal

    Calzaghe truly is the greatest SMW of all time.

    No one can beat him 175 and down.

    It was funny to watch after all the hype surrounding Lacy and how good he was and was gonna be...! Never the same again after that. The bubble burst.

    It's because the Brit's really don't have any other meaningful wins over Americans, most the time they get their ass handed to them.

    This is why they harp on about this win.

    it was a good result, considering joe had owned an unknown belt for so long and had done virtually nothing with it in those 10 years of waste.


    in essence it was the equivalent of the commonwealth champion beating a world champ (albeit a very weak world champ), so no wonder people thought joe would lose.

    but joe proved he could step up to world level that night, and once more in his next fight.

    So many people counted Calzaghe out in that fight. I was one who kept telling everyone that it wasnt gonna happen like that. Joe ran him over. The technique, hand speed and boxing savvy were beyond too much for Lacy
