    Castillo is a TRULY GREAT Lightweight champion, undeniable.

    LACY was an overrated supermiddleweight that never was anybody and never will be.

    Jesus, some people.

    Mayweathers win over Castillo was SOOOOOOOO much bigger then Calzaghe's win over Lacy. Was Calzaghes performance better? Yea, but he was fighting half the fighter.

      Why was he fighting half the fighter who even the British had as a favourite? Lacy was half the fighter cause he lost to Zaghe?

        So in a roundabout way...

        You're basically saying Jeff Lacy is an absolute beast... but just doesn't get the respect he deserves because he essentially lost to a God in the ring against Calzaghe?

        Yeah, you'll get far with that argument...

          Everybody thought that Lacy was a beast. I thought Lacy would win to be honest with you.

              Dwiens,

              YOu said that James Toney was past it when he fought Floyd. Common man, that was a terrible statement with absolutely no validity and you ask me to refute that. How exactly?

                That's not worth a damn though. So because a lot of fans overhyped a fighter or made a prediction wrong that means the fight warrants some godly status? A fighter getting exposed, if anything, diminishes a fighter's victory... not bolsters it.

                    Okay dude...

                    Here is my argument as to why James Toney was past-it. His fatass couldn't make a proper weight class a feasible idea for him (he was weight drained as **** against Jones).

                    Then he started losing, against Montell Griffin, Drake Thadzi, etc.

                    You do realize he only won one world title after the Jones loss right? He won the cruiserweight title from Jirov, and then started slamming down roids, which nullified any championship wins he would have at heavyweight.

                    You really think his wins over Jirov and a dead man walking in Holyfield really show how good he was before the Jones fight?

                    Get a clue, Toney was done.

                      Well Toney won to Tibery earlier too even though he didn't win more than 3 rounds. So maybe he was done back then. Wow!
