    Many said Corrales was shot betwen 28 to 30.

    How do you know Lacy can't go until he is 40?

    It was an ITV documentary that makes the claim. All their commentators, Frank Warren, Calzaghe himself etc have picked up on it.

    I'm sure it includes partially landed punches and it must be 1006 thrown or some ****.

    One day I'll sit down and count.

    Surely talent = skill, be it natural or not?

    also if skill is meaning to do something you imply that Calzaghe accidently used good footwork :huh

    No it doesn't.

    He is saying he prepared himself to fight a hard 12 rounds.

    Talent is not skill. They are two seperate things.

    Calzaghe has very good level of talent and a very good level of skill, not to mention his intangiables are first class too.

    I honestly believe Calzaghe beat Lacy so convincingly everyones perception of Lacy is now that he wasn't any good.

    Calzaghe's a unique fighter. The way he moves, punches, excites. We should treasure these when they come along.

    Saying Calzaghe doesn't have or show much skill is MORONIC!

    These people's heart are blinded by hate,so any rational thinking or objective observations aren't possible.

    I actually wasn't as amazed by Calzaghe after rewatching the fight last night. Now that the shock has worn down, I saw that of course he was ridiculously dominant, but he didn't batter Lacy around as cleanly as I'd remembered. Don't think I'm saying he didn't batter Lacy handedly or that I wasn't very impressed; Lacy's face and wheezing after the fight speak for themselves.

    I guess I'm saying that, sort of like Kelly Pavlik, it doesn't look at face value like the things he's doing are all that spectacular, but they produce amazing results. He's obviously doing a lot right, and I wouldn't change a thing with those results, but it doesn't look as impressive as far as CLEAN punching goes as I'd have expected.

    I dont think Joe could have done any better than that fight, seriously every time I watch that ****ing fight my hands hurt, he beat the living **** out of Jeff, what amazed me was not only the beating he dished out, but the beating Lacey was able to take all night
