yes. the mindset of people who predict a fight saying x fighter will destroy y fighter only for the complete opposite to happen then claim the man they picked is overrated garbage thus the fighter who wins didn't really prove me wrong as he beat a bum so he can't be that good and i'll **** on his parade some more is pathetic.
Calzaghe is as gifted as hell but beating Lacy who had no plan and beating Manfredo who chose not to fight and did not throw any punches hardly makes up for his woeful performances in earlier fights such as the Ashira fight. The Kessler fight is make or break for Calzaghe but Kessler is probably a good stylistic match for Calzaghe. Kessler's orthodox style could be confounded by Calzaghe's movement but if Calzaghe tries to slap with his head up in the air as was the case on numerous combinations in the Lacy and Manfredo fight he will end up being KOed
Yeah, that was pretty much the same process by which Kostya Zoo went from near the top of most peoples P4P lists to being totally shot.
NO. In this case it is true. Unless you feel Lacy is still a top level fighter? :think It was clear. Lacy was badly exposed in that fight.
Yeah lacey was gonna be the next big thing before he met old slappy LOL,come on guys some of the americans here need to calm down,take a few deep breaths,joe will be gone in another few years,then you can all rest easy again,by then dear old lacey will be the man LOL
Lacey was a great win no doubt. However, I think it very hard to make an argument for fights against Bika and Manfredo. He should have never gotten in the ring with them. I think it is fair to say that Calzaghe's talent at this time is much higher than his actual achievements. A convincing win against Kessler will change all that of course.
lol , I had never taking that much notice of China_hand_Joe's avatar and only realised now the WBC belt is there .
Interesting how every nearly every single person on this forum is calling Lacy the biggest hype job ever, when pretty much all of them were saying pre-calz fight that Lacy was america's next biggest thing. One loss dont make you a hype job, Lacy will still win titles in my opinion. Calzaghe's just a legend.
