    Calzaghe, a boxer with above average skills who everyone thought didn't have punching power dominating a guy that had a massive punch but limited boxing ability in Lacey.
    Obviously Fury being the guy with superior boxing skills and Wilder being the one trick hard-hitting pony.

    Calzaghe was one of the most skilled fighters of the 90`s as Fury is one of the most skilled fighters in boxing today.

    Fury use power to dominate Wilder and displayed a great chin, Lacy never threw any vicious straight rights at Calzaghe at all, no comparison.

    Lacey displayed a great chin as well. Even though Calzaghe wasn't a hard hitter, Lacey still took more than 1,000 punches from him and still made it to the full 12 rounds.

    Not the same. Lacy didn't have a 40 lb costume. :D
