    Hindsights always twenty/twenty,, but even so we now know,,through Lacys performances post Calzaghe, that Lacy was mostly a hype job. This unfortunately does detract from it as a 'performance of the decade' style fight

    The guy ESB correctly predicted to KO Calzaghe in 1, without a shadow of a doubt. Only the 'tards chose the other way.

    I did not bother watching the fight (there was little point in wasting time - I refuse to waste my time even watching such an easy Lacy win), but it was an outstanding win for Lacy.

    Calzaghe came back from that brutal defeat with class.

    But yes - a Great performance from Jeff.

    Tito "cheater" Trinidad fought Hopkins without loaded gloves.

    calzaghe was favored...why do people kep saying he was an underdog...if this was calzaghes third time on USA mainstream tv he would have been favored even more...i bet the fight and took JC at -160 that was a master class performance but is lacy better than GATTI??? he has proven he is def not on even arturos level...what PBF did to him and corrales were amazing....BHOP and Winky over tito is up there....the thing about this type of domination is only fast slick or even defensive boxers not power punchers who go for kayos can be recognized because the kayo guys like pac and JMM fight less defensive and make for more even fights....BHOP over Kp was a master performance to as was mosely over cheato

    but wouldn't the fact of winky completely embarassing tito by pure boxing kind of put tito's pure boxing into perspective...and ODLH boxed his ears off too the only dif is he either gassed or got scared....so i would not put tito in some kind of master boxing class...great puncher and exciting but always needed opponents to gas or stand in front of him and trade

    Hopkins-Tito was a beatdown but people forget Trinndad started as a welterweight and BHop as a Lt. Heavy. It was partly a shellacking because it was a such size mismatch.

    it was a great performance, but in hindsight it was a vastly underated great fighter vs a vastly overated average fighter
