I know Anorak has made a thread about this but the poll was just a joke, this is a serious question. Who wins??

I'm picking Calzaghe to win by KO.

This thread might as well be "Are you European or American"

Lacy by KO (I'm American)

:D

Thats true, both parties are confident their fighter can get the job done. I'd like to think i decide without nationallity bias but maybe i dont because i'm very confident about a Calzaghe win.

i havent seen much calzaghe but i think his hand speed could give lacy some trouble. sort of like the sheika fight

Id have to go for Calzaghe purley based on the the fights both of them have had with Omar Sheika where Lacy boxed to a comfortable descision victory while Calzaghe knocked him out. The only thing that may cost Joe is years of fighting lower level opposition which has made him sloppy, however i gotta belive he'd be up for this one and get the win.

Well Calzaghe didn't really knock him out... The fight was stopped on cuts... (In round five I think)

Yeh but he was on his way, i don't like calzaghe at all and hope lacy kics his ass, but this is a very close call lets see how well lacy looks vs reid

I have not seen that many Calzaghe fights. In fact the only one I have seen is Calzaghe vs Veit I. However I have seen Lacy against Syd Vanderpoola and Rubin Williams and he did not dominate in either performance. What is impressive about Lacy is he is very agressive and has amazing stamina and can sustain a very serious offensive attack for many rounds, in fact he seems to get stronger as the fight goes on and he has a good chin.

However he has never faced anybody of the class of Calazghe before. He has only 19 professional fights. And his defence is not that great. I think Calzaghe will win, Lacy does not have much experience and Calzaghe is probably the best fighter at 168 in the world right now, he is I believe the reigning Ring Magazine champ. Lacy's one punch power is also overestimated but is a great volume puncher. Lacy's main strong points are his stamina and strength and chin.

Lacy's defence is crappy. His defence basically consists of his offence. But every time I have ever seen him tagged good he just walks right through it. Lacy's fighting style is basically driving his opponents to the ropes and pummeling them in flurries. And he is very effective at doing that. If he can get Calzaghe to the ropes and execute his normal game plan he might win.
