With the comparison on other threads between Froch/Bute and Calzaghe/Lacy......who wins at their peaks?
Bute would win I think. As soon as Bute showed a bit of lateral movement Lacy would be ****ed. Anyway's Lacy's power was overrated. Froch hits harder than Lacy ever did, who used to muscle his punches rather than throw them and who had no solid base for power shots on his skinny legs.
Lacy would SHATTER Bute's glass jaw, earlier than Froch did. Outside of Froch, Lacy would be pretty much the best guy Bute was in with too.
