Just a note to add Jones - although faded was still in The Ring top 10 Bika Manfredo - In The Ring top 10 when Joe beat him Veit - Went on to take the undefeated record of Braehmer the current WBO LHW champ Mkertchyan - Even won the European title after Calzaghe beat him, beating an undefeated Euro champ for his title Sheika Starie Won Ring LHW & SMW titles and all the SMW titles WBO (21 defences), WBA, WBC and IBF
90% of this board was predicting Lacy by KO over Calzaghe. Funny how hoards of people on here NOW always knew he wasn`t anything special.
Jeff Lacy and Calzaghe both didnt do anything special before they met. Lacy's best wins were over Pemberton, Reid, sheika Calzaghes best wins were over Eubank, Tocker Pudwill, Reid, Its just Lacy was a champ in a division full of bums so he got hyped up.
You forgot Calzaghe had also beaten Brewer Mitchell Starie Veit Woodhall Sheika Mkertchyan even went on to win the European title against an undefeated champ after Calzaghe KOd him This was all before the Lacy win
Slappy vs ducky who's resmue is greater? Ducky by far. Hell if he fights Shane Mosley and Sergio Martinez back 2 back like he says he will then we might have to stop calling him a ducker.
Charles Brewer was getting knocked out by Middleweights who had he beat to be considered a good win? His best win was a split decision loss to Svenn Ottke Byron Mitchell got outboxed by Liles, then Knocked him down 3 times to win a TKO that was his best win before fighting Calzaghe. Mario Veit and David Starie were never champions. Veit is a product of Sauderland promotions. Starie was a national level fighter. The point im making is, since the SMW division at that time was relatively weak, it was easy to hype Jeff Lacy who had a crowd pleasing style and the IBF title.
Lmao @ thread see why I talk **** about UK fans, just when everything is all peachie here comes a dumb ass thread lmao, A prime Eddie Murphy didn't have comedy better than this post
but people keep talking about him like he's the best of all time but if people really took a good loook at his resume they'll see that is not impresive at all.. an old not in prime DLH, and old JMM, an old mosley, he only has two good wins and those are corrales and castillo :hat
