What the hell was Lacy's training for Calzaghe like?

[GodOfWar]

was anyone else impressed by lacy in the vitali fight before he tore his rotator cuff in that fight? I thought he was breating vitali in a one-sided fight before his rotator cuff tore in that fight.

Lacys training was not the issue going into this fight, he was making the same mistake that Hopkins is now making, he is simply writting off Calzaghe he thought in his mind that Calzaghe was soft and found out the hard way over 12 rounds.
Hopkins is making this same mistake here just as Lacy and Manfredo made when they got in there with Joe, for a man that slaps as they argue, he is obviously good at it so good that they both got whipped badly.
Look Joe has speed, power and boxing skills mix that in with a solid chin and you have a true legand in front of you, Hopkins will find out soon enough that he is not the only middleweight who has gone years with out public approval, Calzaghe is going to beat Bernard down.

Lifting weights? Is that all he did or some ****... I've never seen a fighter get their ass kicked so bad for 12 rounds straight without getting ko'd.

Ok, that was funny.

The only reason Lacy looked so bad is because of his bum shoulder which he had major surgery on right after the fight. Otherwise it wouldn't have been so one sided. Lacy's 5'7 midget height didn't help him much either against a guy who darts in and out.

He hurt his shoulder in his next fight.

He is 5'10 not 5'7. He isn't a midget thats average height, what made him a limited fighter is the fact that he is too busy lifting to get big. ****er looks like he has arms that belong to a heavy weight not to a super middle weight.

Ha, So cool, So confident! You really wish that was going to happen though. I can tell.

5'10? OK, And I'm 10'6 and about to win the election.

This other website has him listed 5'11. But I'd stick with boxrec for a boxers height.
