    Ward was +175 against Kessler. Hardly a David vs. Goliath type underdog.

    Kessler was well past prime when he fought Ward. Ward acted like a billy goat in that fight to boot.

    Calzaghe never faced a prime Hopkins.

    the OP isn't claiming that though so your point is totally redundant.

    "whole career"
    who in their right mind starts a boxing career if they have **** hands? stupid claim. lies by calturds exposed easily.


    why did he need to adapt ie change if he had the problem all his "whole career"?
    Claiming he had to adapt implies he didn't have it his whole career, but rather for some of his career, thus necessitating a change.

    more lies from the calturds exposed.

    I love how the revisionists try to write off Calzaghe's absolute schooling of Lacy, saying Lacy was a never was.

    Okay, then we can say he was the equivalent of Pavlik on Hopkins' resume :hey

    Lacy got beat up by a shot to **** mental patient after the schooling Slappy gave him, then got stopped by an even more shot to **** Roy Jones Jr, the same Jones Jr who got stopped in his next fight against Danny ****ing Green. :rofl

    Lacy is a never was, a has been. His hype was only brought up because everyone thought that Calzaghe was a joke for his hilarious slapping technique and his defending of the worthless WBO belt.

    Don't worry, DirtyDan had never watched a Calzaghe fight until Hopkins or Lacy. If it didn't happen in the US of A on HBO or Showtime he hasn't seen it.

    And you can bet he picked Lacy and B Hop to beat Joe :nod

    He only found out who James DeGale was 3 weeks ago after all :deal
