How on earth did all those predictions that Joe wouldnt hear the bell for round 3 come about? got to say it,he looked bad back then.the only thing he seemed to have in abundance was power.he was slow,his footwork shocking,and his defence non existent.

A one sided ass whipping and injury.

He wasn't doing great, look at him in this fight. He was getting beat to the punch,out jabbed,outworked and out boxed by a complete nobody before the knockout. All Calzaghe needed was a chin and his is one of the best in the game. He did expose the hype that is Jeff Lacy which was a great achievement.

obviously he's never had a great defence but his power seemed so much more and so did his speed. nowadays he is slow and plodding.

this is exactly how he fights now. no difference. actually, i think he looked better in the Taylor and Mendoza fights then he did here. He just can't box for the life of him. He is just a puncher not a boxer.

I think it had to do with Jeff's crowning victory over a former Calzaghe opponent Robin Reid. I guess people thought he was still in his prime when Lacy won the fight.

I agree. It has to be a combination of the Calzaghe beating, and the left shoulder injury.
