    No ... there was no changing Calzaghe v Lacy ... but he wouldve fought someone else like RJJ or a prime B-Hop ... James Toney ... anyone of those guys wouldve beaten Calzaghe. (EASILY)

    I'm not saying that Calzaghe is over hyped ... because no matter who you face ... its very tough to fight over 20 title fights and not get upset.

    I think that he's been protected and that he has alot of fillers on his resume.

    He's very fast - but not technically sound ... he doesn't seem to have much discipline either.

    Maybe you are correct, but that still makes it outside ( UK ) vs inside UK...and to try to back ours up, we threw them Lacy

    Toney and Hopkins wouldn't be winning anything easily against Calzaghe, if anything, they'd lose clearly.

    He wings shots ... he often squares up ... and he takes some unneccessary punches. He also leaves himself open for big punches when he flurries because his shots are so wide.

    I think you seen signs of that against Kessler .... he fought his most discipline fight --

    He used his jab and moved great ... but he elected to exchange a couple of times ... and did adjust to the uppercut ... Kessler just didn't follow through with it when it was time ...

    :good It's possible he'd have a couple of losses on his record but be more respected than he is now by certain people.
