    Jesus ****ing Christ, I'm not going to repeat myself over and over, but just because he's been proven overrated NOW, that doesn't mean he was seen as less of a threat at the time.. seeing as he was the favourite to win.
    i was saying that lacy wasn't ready from the get go, and no lacy was never a favorite of mine. i had the fight as a pick'em. it could've gone either way before it happend.

    lacy had a punchers chance and pressure, joe was supposed to do what he did outbox lacy,

    i wrote an articel about it saying that lacy had to turn it into a ugly inside fight and if calzaghe could stick to his game plan he could outbox lacy, and he did.

    you are a surly bastard aren't you?

    oh and **** an expert, they're wrong half the time anyway, i don't know how they become experts in the first place.

Would bring in much more money of course (and potentially bigger fights) but in the grand scheme of things I think it's a very good thing.
      thanks for the info.

        Yes I am, but only on a few subjects.

        Fine, **** the experts, but the majority of boxing fans picked Lacy too.

          Frank Warren is good at promoting younger fighters with potential, stepping them up at the right pace and getting them to a world title. Once he gets them as his cash cow, he is dreadful at stepping them up to the stage of being truly great fighters world recognised.

          This is why Khan will likely need to leave him around about the same time in his career as Ricky Hatton did in his.

            Lacy destroyed Robin Reid the same man who many thought beat Calzaghe.

                That's probably why people picked Lacy over Calzaghe, but Calzaghe destroyed Shika who had given Lacy his toughest fight.

                      yeah i thought sheika could've won that fight, he gave lacy nothing but problems. that was some shady judging giving lacy a UD.
