    Lacy may not have ever been anything special, but he would have been knocking out oppponents like this before Calzaghe ruined him!

    LOL at the "Calzaghe ruined him" comments... how bout "He just wasn't that good" and "His shoulder surgery destroyed his ability to throw the left hook"? That would be more logical.

    I can't speak for my fellow Americans who hyped him up to be the next Tyson. But I never bought into the hype. Who did he beat? He struggled against Robin Reid, looked like **** against Omar Sheika. Who did Lacy beat?! Seriously..

    I think you guys are giving Calzaghe too much credit for Lacy's crappiness. How did that fight take away Lacy's power and ability to throw a left hook? It probably ruined his confidence, but the shoulder surgery seemed to destroy any chance he had of being a good fighter. I can't remember another guy who suddenly lost all of his power because he got embarrassed.

    Yeah, Omar Sheika who beat Glen Johnson who just whipped your boy Dawson.

    I think that tells us about Dawsons level.

    Everybody says that Lacy was ruined by Calzaghe, but it isn't true, he just really was never that good. He barely beat Omar Sheika in his prime.

    I think it was 50/50 with a combination of Calzaghe and the shoulder tear ruining Lacy.

    His corner should have stopped the Calzaghe fight in the 9th round.

    One of the most lopsided Championship fights I have ever seen.

    yeah Reid is lacys best win. it was'nt that robin was suppose to win but it was how he was stopped. no one had done that to reid before. of course the punching after a break and the headbutts did have an effect but still. robin did get beat and decked pretty hard.

    i think eubank wasnt as past it as some seem. not in great form but did give thompson a strong heavy cruiserweight a tough tough fight. almost beating him in the first fight. past his best but not shot.

    The Calzaghe fight and the subsequent serious shoulder injury basically ended his caree. It's a shame really but I'm sure he can still make decent money, he may well get RJJ next.

    After his fight with Joe Cal hes never been the same....you could even see it in his face as the fight when on. Joe either ended his career or his talent and power was an illusion

    He was finished in the fight he had with Typscho. He's not the guy he used to be and should call it a day.

    I like Jeff.

    But, he's ****.

    A Bika or Miranda fight would stir the senses but otherwise i have no desire to watch him fight.

    When this fight comes out, I wont bother downloading it - sounded CRAP.
