I dont know...I dissagree with this one..its Paulie hands that did him in...
That fight was a knock down away from beng a draw.
It was a competitive fight but not a close one.
Paulie showed he had a very good skillset and a ton of heart.
I disagree with him being ruined after Cotto, he did go on to put on a very good performance against Lovemore N'dou (first fight) and capture his first world title.
can someone send me a link or something to show the fighter who was supposably "ruined" by joe calzaghe back when he was supposably good?
i mean he has been trash since, but wheres the footage of him being a good fighter before joe? i seen some of his fights pre calzaghe and wasnt impressed at all. he was always slow, predictable, threw wide punches, lacked defense and ring intelligense. and dont give me the "ppl said.." BS. show me a impressive clip of jeff lacy to prove he was ruined by calzaghe.
to contribute to the thread..
mayorga acctually has good names and impressive showings before facing tito, but much like vargas his chin was cracked and he was never the same fighter again.

I was never that impressed with him but lets face it the American press heralded him as the next big thing,Most of the American journalists said he would beat joe,with many saying a KO lol
he was the betting favourite in the States and in Britain.
It was a great performance by Joe,I dont think Lacy would have been fantastic but the fight deffo took whatever he had though.
