Did Calzaghe really ruin Jeff Lacy? The unanswered questions.

Jeff wasn't that good to begin with.

 

ruin id say no but expose id say yes.

 

I dont know whether he ruined him or not, but he certainly exposed yet another Yank hype job, just like Benn exposed AND ruined McClellan.

Who cares what Yank did what to Lacy AFTER Joe made him look a fvcking idiot? I certainly dont, the myth had already been destroyed.

 

Have you seen that stalker on youtube who goes by the name Joecalzagheisacoward or whatever the **** it is. Man, he spends some serious amounts of time trolling Calzaghe videos and Lennox Lewis vids, and I mean a scary amount of time, he's been doing that **** for years too.

What a highly creative and positive guy that fella must be, probably end up on the news for butt raping and murdering some poor ****er. That cat definitely has got something not right up stairs to spend that amount of time trolling.

 

Has everyone else noticed it is always fighters with an 0 at the end of their records that get this kind of crap?

Every dick brained keyboard warrior comes up with their own idiotic list of names who said fighter should have fought, or would have beaten him, generally their own hero who is either a proven steroid cheat, or spent most of their career fight dustmen and bus drivers or similar ****.

It does make you laugh.

 

Ruined is probably right, but to be honest, Lacy was never a top elite fighter. I always viewed him on the same level as an Allen Green or Andre Berto; A contender.
Had Lacy actually been an elite on the level of a Hopkins or a Jones, Calzaghe would not have agreed to fight him.

 

The only reason Calzaghe is brought up every damn day on this forum is because black people who love Hopkins get butt hurt that a white boy beat him....after he called Calzaghe out.



Deal with it.

 

Lacy was no bum..

He had power that scared people, and even had trouble finding sparring parters because he hit so hard.

It is easy to look at someone and say they are exposed after the fact.. Many thought Lacy was going to knock Calzaghe out.. Calzaghe should get a lot of credit for beating him.

 

I bet Roy had no idea in just a few years time he would be relentlessly swatting Lacy's ugly dome with crisp left hooks one after the other.:rofl

On crystal clear HD, in front of a global audience of millions of course.:rofl

 

When people say 'ruined' do they mean mentally? I find it hard to believe a guy nicknamed 'slappy' physically ruined a guy. I do agree Calzaghe gets way too much **** but I watched the Lacy fight recently and what stayed with me was early in the fight him telling his Dad that Lacy couldn't punch for ****. There was an urgency in his voice that I interpreted as relief. I'm not surprised it's been said he tried to pull out of the fight in the lead up cause that tells me he was scared. Don't get me wrong, that doesn't diminish him as a fighter in my eyes but it does suggest he waited a long time to step up to fight the best opposition. Who knows why that was, maybe his management\family was in his ear etc. The type of fighter he was he was never going to be able to carry on into 40's so it's a real shame he waited so long to really test himself but that is the mentality of today's fighters money\retirement fund > legacy\achievements.

 

Lacy was probably never that good but that's not the way he was being portrayed by the Yanks. He was the 2nd coming of Tyson who was going to brutally expose Calzaghe.
Even though he was overhyped Lacy was certainly a better fighter before he fought Calzaghe than after. I think mentally more than physically he was shot, any aura of invincibility he had of himself was shot to pieces.

 

Go watch the build up to that fight again, And then say it was the British media who hyped Lacy up Lacy's face after about 3 rounds showed how shocked he was

 

Funny how the big named Yanks all tipped Lacy to win, and now they back track. Even funnier how Jones wanted Lacy after J Cal ridiculed him, and exposed the myth.

 

when americans talk about boxing..it kind of resembles a liverpool supporter..always talking about how good they were..and always be-littling anyone elses acheivements (in the present) because they arnt involved anymore...tits
