Calzaghe's victory over Lacy looking HIGHLY OVERRATED right about now.

[!!! Beowulf !!!]

not the same. That was Morales at 135lbs and just a style nightmare.

Calzaghe beat Lacy (a guy who lost to Vitali Tipsy)...NOTHING great.

Nah, props to Pac, really brave fellow taking on a guy who'd just been badly beaten against a boring no hoper.

as pointed out a couple of posts above you,we (the british fans) never once claimed it was joes greatest victory

the only reason the fight was hyped so much was because the american media had latched onto lacy as the next big thing
i knew joe would win........lacy was green in comparison to joe,and stood no chance
all joe did was show the world that lacy is a one dimentional fighter and put on a perfect example of how to beat him........
now you are just bitter and twisted by it all

thanks for the input.

you gotta realize, the Lacy fight in the eyes of many (especially Brits) is Calzaghes' BIGGEST WIN OF HIS LONG CARREER.

now that a unknown, not so good Vitaly Tipsy beat Lacy and outboxed him like that, DOES the Calzaghe victory seem so great? The answer is NO.

if you're not gonna discuss the topic i posted and just continue to post about me and my style, i suggest you look in different threads. I post topics to be discussed not hijacked.

Very well benji.. IMHO i think you are underestimating Calzaghe because he is a PROVEN ducker and seems to avoid any fight with meaning.. and then chooses to fight substandard opposition thinking it will bring him cred.. when all it does .. except for his hardcore fans.. is make him look a fool for not being able to judge what a TOP fight is.. and to a lesser extent make him look a coward.. BUT.. Calzaghes talent is undeniable..He reminds of PBF in that he is blessed with all the gifts to make him a superstar.. But his choice of fights and lack of Charisma do not endear him to the general boxing fan... In short he talks the talk.. but does not walk the walk..

It showed last night Lacy was nothing great so the Calzaghe win means little, and that to the British fight fan WAS THE GREATEST VICTORY for them. It's nothing and Vitali Tipsy proved it last night by winning that fight (cept he got robbed).

Like I said, the views of "British fight fans" are often put in their mouths by others, and not actually a reflection of what "British fight fans" say. You putting this in CAPITAL LETTERS does not change that fact.

Joe Calzaghe outclassed an overrated fighter... only Americans on here (including YOU) thought he was anything good.

And AGAIN... the Lacy that Joe Calzaghe beat was CLEARLY mentally stronger than the one who got "beat" last night.

Should a poster from a minority really be generalising and demeaning other ********** the way you are?

calzaghe should fight A REAL OPPONENT. Like Jermain Taylor or Winky Wright.

calzaghe did his job and his job was to win..
the lacy fight got joe noticed and thats and thats what is important.
it dosnt matter that lacy was nothing but hype........
however i could try and counter your arguement by saying that lacy is now damaged goods after what joe did to him.........i mean thats a fair comment right?

It IS, actually.

Though it's just ironic that the person who made this thread was the one saying "Calf.aggy FEARS Lacy, doo!"

Except now it's all "british posters" who are saying that Lacy is the ****.

I mean, WTF? Are we supposed to have had the rug pulled out from under us or something? We said he was an overrated piece of crap BEFORE he fought Joe Blow... except then we were just "Brit f.ags who don't know boxing, LMAO, pwn!"

Lacy is Calzaghes best win, fact or fiction?
