No, all the yanks who hardley ever saw any of Calzgahes fights thought that the 168lb Mike Tyson was going to destroy Calzaghe. Anyone who had followed both fighter's career's knew that Lacy was geting schooled. :good
Thats probably true but alot of people felt Calzaghe was slipping at the time. And the like for like opponent in Robin Reid who Calzaghe struggled deffinetly had some influence in the way people thaught about the fight. Although Lacys record wasnt really anything special now and he was massively over hyped.
