    How many of you were all jazzed up that Jeff Lacy was heading over to the UK to KTFO Joe calzaghe?

    How many of you now say Jeff lacy was overrated...

    Joe was really really good, great even, undefeated, decent resume..

    Not ATG, but the man deserves some respect.... great KO ratio for a slapper as well.

        I think the fact that people are still talking about him, making excuses for his wins this long after his retirement, shows he meant something to the sport... I don't think his merits will be debated in the future much like they are today...

              How is Calzaghe in the top five of all time British fighters when Robin Reid beat him?

                the only reason why people still talk about him is because calzaghe fans keep bringing him up. no one would talk about calz of their own volition

                    well he didnt beat him

                    calzaghe had a bad performance and reid had a good one

                    it was a very close fight that could have gone either way.the scorecards for that one were really off though
