    Yes, a MASSIVE underdog at +110. Stop changing history. Lacy was never regarded as the next Tyson.

    I'm currently searching for them, if I can't find them then I will have to check a previous video of mine, because the odds were read out and believe me people were well shocked.

    Again Brits overhyping a victory because they cant do **** in boxing.


    Nobody saw Calzaghe beat Lacy or even care. He's a cokehead now, not an ATG and not even relevant in boxing since a green Andre Ward destroyed his greatest victory. Most everyone who cares about boxing saw Mayweather beat the **** out of Hatton.


    So really does this insignificant victory really matter?

    :lol: The hatred shines through. Its so insignificant, that you had to come on here to try and bash Calzaghe :patsch:lol:.
    Why would you think with Hopkins and Eubank on Calzaghes resume that Kessler would be his biggest victory?
    Real fans know the difference of a past his prime great beating a young undefeated fighter legally, to a prime fighter illegally headbutting an already beaten, 4 round in 13 month rusty, double visioned fighter, and if you look at the official scorecards there not to dissimilar.

    Later you mention Maywheather beating a smaller fighter who was stepping up for only the 2nd time in his career.
    What a **** you have made yourself look once again :lol:

    Like I said before, just because your promoter calls you something does not mean that you are recognized as the next Tyson. I KNOW that he was called the 168 Tyson by his promoter.

    Let me ask you: do you believe that Wladimir Klitschko knocked out a "White Tyson" when he beat Chagaev? His promoter called him Tyson, that means that he was seen as Tyson right?

    Eubanks was shot to pieces. Hopkins was well past it having lost to Jermain Taylor twice, and that fight Hopkins just didnt do enough or he would have won. Kessler was the only prime undefeated champion that actually did something later on in his career that Calzaghe beat. Lacy would struggle with Manfredo, get a gift against Mendoza and lose to Jermain Taylor. He was nothing. Almost lost to Omar Sheika. Atleast Kessler had the myth of being good.
    Ward was beating Kessler up from the opening bell. Calzaghe had to change his gameplan because he was losing up to the 4th round.

    Ward beat Kessler so bad his corner wanted to end the fight. Kessler was still landing bombs on calzaghe into the 12th round. Its clear that Ward beat him worse.

    It was a good thing Calzaghe retired to a life of disgrace and coke before Dirrell and Ward showed up on the scene. Hell Carl Froch has a better resume then Calzaghe. :lol:

    Hatton weighed 152 on fight night. Floyd weighed 147. Floyd fought 90% of his career at super featherweight. HAttons trainer said Floyd was too small. :lol:

    Nope thats just superior skill destroying an overrated Brit fighter. Lucky Hopkins wasnt prime he would have done the same to Cokezaghe.
