Lacy was the best win because most thought Joe would lose that fight. Every writer here and most posters here also thought Joe was getting KO and Joe dominated the fight from start to finish.
My top 10 wins for the legendary Joe Calzaghe.
1. Lacy
2. Kessler
3. Eubank
4. Hopkins
5. Mitchell
6. Reid
7. Shieka
8. Brewer
9. Jones
10. Bika
never heard of him.
must be some euro bum who never fought anyone.
You my friend need to get out more! Not as much for you saying calzaghes a euro bum than the fact you've posted more than 5.000 times in 2 months lol
in hindsight the hopkins win would be the best but at the time lacy was a guy who was meant to destroy calzaghe,experts and fans alike thought it was going to happen,instead it was a one-sided beatdown in favour of JC
i think lacy, i didn't pay too much attention to calzaghe until that lacy fight, it was domination.. best for audience imo
his best fights (because tougher opponents) would be kessler/bhop/eubank tho
Hopkins. Not only did he beat him, he did so without even landing punches.
Aren't you witty today?
Except for the 200+ punches that compubox had him landing though, huh?
And these, of course.

Best win on Joe's ledger is Hopkins. Old or not, he's an ATG who held the LHW crown and was still regarded as elite. Best win in terms of performance is Lacy. He was expected to be destroyed and instead turned in one of the most thorough schoolings ever.
