When was this guy ever in the same league as B-Hop? A first time champion making his first unification bout ... B-Hop is taller, faster, better boxer, more illusive, better balanced, and doesn't depend on power like the guy above. Oh and B-Hop's defense is so good that I doubt if he bruises or swells afterwards ... A fan who truly knows the sport will never think that showing a picture of a beat up Lacy holds any clout. LACY IS NO HOPKINS ... THAT SEEMS LIKE THE ONLY THING THAT CAL FANS CAN BRING UP AND THE FACT THAT HE BEAT KESSLER ... Two guys compared to 5 hall of fame worthy opponents .. Tarver, Winky, RJJ, Tito, and DLH ... Not to mention Taylor who's a level above Lacy and Kessler.:good
You bring up Benn and Honyghans as if they still fight and have fought past the late 90's ... Lennox Lewis isn't british ... he's a citizen of Canada and represented them in the Olympics. Lennox Lewis is the only thing you got when he got knocked out in GB against an American Oliver McCall. Calzaghe is not of the same cloth ... he's going to be all alone tomorrow and can't depend on ghost of past britan fighters to help him. Maybe he shouldve conditioned better ... Only thing he has to rely on is an inexperience trainer w/ no other notable fighters and no experience on the big stage.
How the ****s that the definition of nationality you ****wit. Are we gonna go around the World changing peoples passports now just because they had some swimming lessons in Sweden?
I read his Bio. He started boxing as a kid in London then went to Canada and represented them before he went pro. HE WAS BORN IN LONDON!!! HE STARTED BOXING IN A LONDON GYM!! He moved all over the world when he was starting out sometimes traingin in the UK or the US. Say what you want he represented the UK as a pro and thats a fact!
If we're being pedantic he's quite clearly of a afro-carribean origin which means he isnt english or canadian
:yep You've got to give the guy credit for pressurizing an already nervous group of fans. The style is impetuous..... Anyway, the results will come from the ring. I'll make sure I check back here after the fight! Enjoy!
born in london. lived a good chunk of his life in london. represented GB as a pro. suck on that ***git. :rasta calzaghe gonna own your *****.
