    Calzaghe was coming to the end of his career and wanted to cash out, Jones and Hopkins were bigger names than Pavlik and bigger names = bigger money

    the Hopkins fight proved who would have won the fight though, Pavlik was a hype machine just like Lacy was

    Lacy was a hype job, young and strong but one dimentional. It was only the Calzaghe hype machine that wanted to make him out to be more than he was. Yea, there were some that thought Lacy could do it due to his strength, but it wasn't the first fight were he was hit at will and the signs were there. Good win for Joe, but are you saying that makes him an ATG? Joe in no way dominated Kessler, someone who by all intents and purposes won the first half of their fight, you're saying that makes him an ATG? You mean the 20 defences in a weak era of SMW's where Calzaghe pretty much never left the Isle of Brittain, that makes him an ATG?

    Corrupt referee and 3 american judges? How the **** was ref corrupt? Everything was against Calzaghe even though he has some of THE WORST stoppages in boxing history to pad his TKO record. That's ATG worthy? Listen, you can have your opinion, and it is, just that. I can use boxrec too, and name opponents of a fighter I want to trump up by saying this person won a title down the line, or this guy was once a champion, it means **** all at the end.

    Awww, you wanna date me?

    Seriously, what kind of half a *** searches for another man's picture on a web site? What, you were hoping I was some nerdy ****? I'd stomp a mudhole in your ass, but then again, you like playing on the computer with your hand down your pants, so I definitely wouldn't want you to touch me. Dirty bird.

    Joe is a lock for the Hall of Fame no doubt, an ATG and the GOAT at SMW. It's a stupid race thing with Americans, whereby they disrespect Joe because he's Welsh.

    Wrong. The ones hyping Lacy were Americans and American boxing 'experts', many of them at the same time had little respect for Calzaghe. Go dig up some old web pages on every boxing site and see what American writers had to say before this fight. Can't hold it against Joe for putting on a masterclass and proving all you fools wrong. I can see how you'd be bitter about it after refusing to give him any credit.

    What're you talking about? I said it was a good win. There were also many writers who saw Lacy as the limited fighter he was, but still thought he could pull it off due to his youth and strength.

    You assume I'm bitter cause I don't agree with Calzombies, that ain't my issue.

    You ain't disagreeing you are just plain hating, only a hater would ever deny Calzaghe being an ATG.

    I mean Americans in general. Calzaghe gets little respect overrall for that win across the pond. And your claim there were many writers who saw Lacy as the limited fighter Joe showed him up to be is exaggerating. If there were 'many', they sure weren't making their opinions known at the time.

    I actually remember an article where the writer brought up Lacy's Olympic loss in Sydney, Australia, against Gaidarbekov in the quarterfinal of the 2000 Olympics where he was beaten in much the same fashion as he would be against Calzaghe, they had to stop it cause the score was like 16-1. But I agree, the loudest articles were about lacey being too strong. But there were differing opinions.

    Did I hurt your feelings, Quinton? I guess I must have because you've set your profile page so only your fellow uggers can view it now. lol

    'This user restricts their profile to OkCupid members only. Sign in or create an account.'

    Hoping you're some nerdy ****? Er, no. I know you are now though, Mr. Internet Dater lol. You couldn't stomp ****, ******. I'd run over your stumpy little ass like a rat under a truck. I can tell just by looking at your stupid cinder block head that your body is shaped like a loaf of bread. I'd Lacy your Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson looking thalidomide ass so bad, you'd get even less hits on your dating page than you do now. lol
