Calzaghe schooled Lacy for 12 rounds.
Taylor win a decision against him.
RJJ TKO'd him in 10th round.
RJJ and Calz win are both impressive. I wont say the same on Taylor coz I havent watch that fight.
calzaghe i agree that lacy has always been easy to hit and slightly plodding but pre calzaghe he was a very dangerous fighter who hit alot quicker and therefore more powerful than he does today.
i think the schooling calzaghe gave him didn't help but the torn rotator cuff injury took that speed that lacy had. its because of theat speed that people compared him to tyson. since he lost that edge in power hes not been the same fighter and i think the versions that taylor and RJJ fought were not as good as the one calzaghe fought.
also in the calz fight lacy shouldn't have been allowed to see the 11th round, i voted for calz.
Calzaghe no doubt, Lacy had not taken a beating or torn his rotator cuff to that point. That fight could have easily been stopped before the 10th too, the difference between this Jones fight than the Calzaghe one is that Dan Birmingham was an asshole who refused to throw the towel in.
Lacy was just really overhyped when Calz fought him, but it was a better win since most gave Calzahge no chance, and he embarrassed him. BUT I think Roy's win in terms of performace was better since he actually stopped him, but he still didn't KD him like Joe. But Roy's Performance did it for me. but it isn't as great in terms of legacy, because it was expected to happen and Lacy is shot. I still think Roy ko's him 4-5 years ago.
Lacy was an up and coming fighter well on his way to a nice career and Calzaghe destroyed that. Lacy is still the same fighter he was pre-Calzaghe, but his confidence is GONE.
that is false. a false myth created by the calzaghe huggers. if you watch lacy's career set you will see he was always the same fighter. watch him struggle with rubin williams, richard grant or get a gift decision over omar sheika long before he ever fought calzaghe.
lacy was clearly quicker and more powerful back then and this is coming from someone who cant stand calzache. lacy was never very good tho

lacy was better back when jc fought him
Calzaghe by miles.
People fail to realize Lacy injured himself badly in his first fight back from the Calzaghe loss. I am not saying Calzaghe didnt damage his confidence or mentality, but Lacy hasnt been nearly the same fighter since that injury. I know losses mess with people, but Lacy has an injured shoulder that has clearly made him a different fighter. If he hadnt been hurt he might not have headed to bumsville as quickly as he did.
So yeah, Joe gets the most credit there.
Calzaghe battered Lacy to the point where to this day, he's been unable to recover. Lacy was a solid fighter who KO'd some decent SMW and now he can't even win a solid decision. He got a gift decision over the scrub - Otis Griffin. Lacy is shot to pieces.
