    Who got schooled worse

    Lacy or pavlik

    both went in there as big punchers. both got schooled and given a boxing lesson over 1 sided rounds. neither were competitive.

    Im going with lacy- i think calzaghe would have destroyed pavlik in the same way he did against lacy. but pavliks schooling didnt look so bad because nard doesnt throw as many punches.

    I gotta go with JC's win over Lacy aswel, just through amount of punches thrown.

    Good question!
    Very close but I would say Calzaghe vs Lacy was the bigger schooling!

    lacy was worse. he just couldn't get near to calzaghe for 12 rounds.
    it was a lesson in timing footwork and combinations. calzaghe had the complete package that night. it was a joy to watch.
    the pavlic fight was embarrassing to tell the truth. he was totally out of his depth. funny though as there are a lot of posters looking pretty silly today.
    the great white hope my arse. the next person to mention him in the same breath as calzaghe should be shot.

    Lacy but Pavlik was ranked higher and had accomplished more than Lacy

    i fully believed hopkins would expose pavlik while i thought lacy was the real deal. now that i've thought about it id probably have to go with pavlik even though i voted lacy.

    Lacy.Pretty obvious if you actually saw both fights.Better question would be Tarver or Pavlik now that's close.

    Lacy is target practice, he doesn't even know how to use hands up defence, hopkins would have stopped him if they fought.

    Lacy's defeat was far more humiliating. While both were one-sided, Calzaghe-Lacy was just ridiculous. Calzaghe landed more shots than Lacy and won every second of the fight.

    Hopkins win over Pavlik ranks better though through quality of opponent.
