Did Joe Calzaghe really ruin Lacy?

I have seen this statement all over boxingscene for a long time. However I think its important to mention that Jeff "LEFT HOOK" Lacy had a torn rotator cuff in his left shoulder. Now I can tell you that a torn rotator cuff will do great damage to a guys "left hook" and mental ability to use the left in general. I just cant understand why so many people fail to see that this guy PHYSICALLY damaged his most important weapon in the ring, and choose to attribute his recent lacluster performances to some unseen mental weakness after his first loss.
That being said War TAYLOR.

He got beat down pretty severely, and hasn't been the same since. So yes, I'd say Calzaghe ruined him.

This is another ****** biased Calzaghe supporter claim.

It is FALSE - Lacy was never the killer the UK press made him out to be. In fact he had struggled even before Calzaghe.

UK press?

It was AMERICANS who hyped him up.

OMG, un believeable post. No way was he doing better in that fight, he'd have won a couple of rounds or minutes at least, if there were signs he could compete. He could not. He is noway near Calzaghes level, that was clear and it's ridiculous to question it, more questions your judgement. His face was not healthy plus he was stumbling, not with it. It should have been stopped as most agree, which says it all.

Joe ruined Lacy without a doubt..
Lacy aint looked the same since and most of his fights turn to be battles against
guys he should be blowing away...
Definetly not the same fighter i remember prior to Joe..

He would of been better off had Joe knocked him out cold
Instead he took a prolong beating for 12rounds

This is true, but Cal did kinda ruin him. He inst as good as he was prior to fighting Joe. Just deal w/it mang'.

Hardly anyone in the UK had heard of Lacy. The hype machine was the USA press.
