    You aren't seriously suggesting Lacy is better now than before he fought Calzaghe? lol

      What makes Calzaghe-Lacy better is that Lacy was the pre-fight favourite. It was a shock when the fight started at how easily Calzaghe outclassed him.
      Don't you forget Mayweather also started out at 130. Moving up 10 pounds and stopping Gatti and connecting 57% is better than beating a hypejob and failing to KO him

        OK you're in love with PBF, I get it. But explain to me why beating the underdog is more impressive than beating the betting favourite?

        I know you're a big Mayweather fan, but have some objectivity here. We're talking about a 57% connect percentage on Arturo Gatti no Pernell Whitaker. A blind man could hit Gatti.

          There's no arguing, Lacy looked pretty damn impressive here:

            He actually works more behind the jab now. Believe it or not. Lacy did not look like a damaged fighter in the ring vs Taylor. Jeff still had hunger/aggression and displayed more head movement than most of his recent fights. The lack of a left hook was because of an injury that had nothing to do with Calzaghe.

                Also don't forget that while PBF started his career at 13o, Gatti started his at 126. So the moving up reason is irrelevant.

                  OK, I'm not going to disagree here because I haven't seen the Taylor fight. I was basing my argument mostly on the fight with Manfredo and he looked terrible. I'll check out some of his more recent fights.

                    Margarito-Cintron 1 has to rank up there. Margarito dropped him four times and Cintron cried like a baby in the ring after in front of the ppv and live audience.

                    That was a humiliation and a beatdown.
