Ouma > Lacy so how can you praise Calzaghe's performance & discredit Taylor's?

Also the fact Rubio is a huge puncher and he came 170 pounds in the ring when he fought Ouma.

Taylor was only 166 last night and he fights at 160 not at 154 like Rubio. Taylor should be over 170 at fight night if he's fighting at 160.

On fight night Taylor was 164 pounds and Ouma was 162, only a 2 lb difference.

It doesnt matter Ouma went there and took on the best even thought people though he was going to be murdered but he survived and that what i like about Ouma and Gatti and fighter like that that they are survivours.

[RAESAAD]

makes absolutely no sense. Ouma is an accomplished fighter who has actually been around a while and been a pretty respectable champion. He throws more punches than anyone in the fight game and has an iron chin. So how is Taylor winning all but 2 rounds against him any worse than Calzaghe dominating Jeff Lacy, who couldn't box his way out of a paper bag? can't have it both ways. either they were both solid performances or they were both showcases against weak opponents.

The Lacy beating was far more severe than what Taylor did to the much smaller than him Ouma..........I agree Ouma did not win many rounds but he took it to Taylors ass and landed many,many nice punches on him unlike Lacy landing maybe 1 or 2 meaningful punches the entire fight.Taylor should have wrecked Ouma but did not........Winkys performance against Ike was far more impressive IMO.

This has nothing to do with Calzaghe's performance against Lacy, Taylor showed he was extremely vulnerable in the ring tonight against a man who could make Welterweight, it's clear that Calzaghe has the style and work rate to frustrate and most likely beat Jermain Taylor.

Give him time, Diego****o will make a "Ouma > Collazo" thread. Never let it be said that total irrelevance is beneath this boy.

Well yeah, but Ouma's weight is artificial and Taylor's still the bigger guy. Frame size means a lot. It's far more important than a couple of pounds when you're talking about below HW.

You guys debating me can't be serious here. To suggest that Lacy was a more accomplished fighter than Ouma is absolutely absurd. Ouma is a PUNCHING MACHINE. He never stops throwing punches. And he took crazy shots from Taylor that would have dropped anyone at 160, maybe a lot of guys at 168. You're dissing Taylor when you should be commending Ouma.

[Easy-E]

And you are basing Ouma being better than Lacy on WHAT? their triliogy? being in the same weight class? His Iron Chin? he has been down 5 times.. by smaller men..
You know what I like about you Diego.. You are passionate and you dont back down..
Thats also what I dont like about you.. you let your passion cloud your judgement.. Taylor stunk last night.... Can so many people be wrong?

He stunk???
He pitched a shutout according to many, and lost 3 round AT MOST. What a joke.

This isn't hard to understand.

To suggest that Lacy was a more accomplished fighter than Ouma is absolutely absurd.

That's not the issue. Lacy was UNDEFEATED was coming into the Calzaghe fight with 3 straight devastating knockout victory wins in a row. He was still somewhat of an enigma because nobody knew how he'd fare against top competition, but the majority of American boxing fans thought he'd knock Calzaghe out at some point or beat him.

Everyone knows who Ouma is. We knew that he was a non-stop puncher who was tough and had good stamina. We also knew that he was WAY smaller than Taylor, had defensive liabilities, and packed no punch. No fans thought Ouma would win outside of a small handful of people. He had bad losses and had been floored several times before.

You're dissing Taylor when you should be commending Ouma.

The reason that fans praised Calzaghe's win so much is because he tamed the power punching bull in a fight many had him slated to lose. He did just about everything but stop Lacy...had him backing up, afraid to throw punches, had him physically hurt and mentally ruined. Taylor beat up Ouma and won a lopsided UD, but he was supposed to beat him like that...(or worse).

In retrospect we all know Lacy's flaws now, but we didn't know it before the fight.

Yes he won every round.. But he stunk doing it.. Wasn't it supossed to be a display of skills and power?
I am not questioning the win.. it was a shut out
I just think Taylor is overated and last night proved it.. It dont make me a hater, Nuthugger, Insane, ****** or OWNED
Its just an opinion...
