This is the first unification clash at Super-Middle since Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank met in 1993. Calzaghe is undoubtedly over-the-hill as proven in his last few fights, but Lacy isn't exactly a world-beater with his poor performance against a washed-up Reid.
So, who wins this thing?
Even cats who picked Joe C couldn't have seen that big an ass whoopin comin.
ye i agree i thought it would be a very tough night for joe,i bought into the lacy hype i suppose
Joe is not even close to Lacy's muscle mass or strength. JC is not huge for supermiddle. Just look at my avatar.
Calzaghe had Lacy backing up to the ropes
What' all this talk about Joe "aging"? Are there really any signs or are the Brits just scared that Lacy will KO him so they need an excuse when he does? Exactly what has Joe been through that's made him an old fghter? Nothing. Mitchell wasn't the easiest fight for him but it only lasted like 2 rounds.
no kidding, of course thats what thier doing, their already preparing for a calzaghe loss by downplaying him before the fight so they can say he was washed up afterwards
hmm

Lazy ain't really that big,he has awesome peaks plus the muscle definition,he looked pretty skinny when he was walking around the hood in the pre-fight footage.Lazy will be to much for joe,Lazy is younger,stronger and getting better with each fight.Is Lacy willing to fight at Joe's home town?
^Calzaghe is definitely as big as Lacy. JC is pretty huge for a super-middle.

The fight is going to be one-sided. Lacy :D . Joe is just going to stand up right in front of him and throw punches with just his shoulders its like he's slapping them. Sure his straight left is good but if he fights like he does normally, he is going to get KTFO. Wouldn't be so surprised if Lacy breaks one of Calzaghe's ribs.
Lacy has already faced better opposition???...
You see this is the problem with people that just jump on a band wagon and don't really know anything about the fighter in hand... i.e. Joe Calzaghe and the "Haters".
They hear people say that Calzaghe has only ever fought "bums" and they believe it. But they're just joining in without knowing the facts.
Jeff Lacy has NOT fought better opposition than Joe Calzaghe.
I would think that Jeff Lacy's most significant win to date is a 12 round points victory over Omar Sheika.
Well Joe Calzaghe beat Omar Sheika 4-5yrs previous (when Sheika wasn't so washed up) by TKO 5.
You actually had a good point there...
Well, let's see...Jeff Lacy is younger, stronger, and has ALREADY fought better opposition
Lacy by KO within 6
Better opposition?? thats ridiculous!!
Come on, i can accept you have an opinion on the fights winner but to make a comment like that is just unreal. Lacy's toughest opponent to date was 6 years past his prime, Lacy did a good job against Reid but its nothing special.
I can quite easily admit that Lacy has a chance against Calzaghe, he's improving and has some decent quailtys but to say he's fought better opponents is one of the worst comments i have ever seen you write.

Who like, i'd say reid and vanderpool were his best opposition on paper
Having said that. If Lacy becomes more disciplined in throwing his power punches he will beat Calzaghe by stoppage. If he fights JC like he did Lacy, he'll get KO'ed....
