why do people discredit every damn thing joe calzaghe ever accomplished??

[Uturn]

Jeff Lacy??? Thats all he has to show for himself???

All you Yanks had to show for yourself at the time yes. I heard endless storys about how Jeff Lacy was the best thing since sliced bread. All that hype for nothing, he was humiliated.

[intoccabile]

What part do you not agree with?

B Hop and Roy Jones were the best of his era and he defeated them both in the same year. Fact.

He beat everyone he ever faced and was never ko'd, Fact.

And I said possibly the greatest of all-time. Id actually rank Hagler and maybe Archie Moore ahead of him but no one else.

Not even close man.. not even close.


Pull the supermid-light heavy lists up, the dude is no where near the greatest.

Infact, at lightheavy, Evander Holyfield demolishes him, and I don't think he'd want any of Spinks

You know Burner was probably one of the main people riding Lacy's **** at the time...lol. That is, if he was actually into boxing then.

[Now_Or_Never]

cuz he slaps and his showboating is damn awful
Other than that, good fighte

46 and mother****ing 0

[Spray_resistant]

The guy was a real talent, a very long time champion, and a damn good fighter.

He retired 46-0 while beating some good opponents regardless of what some think.

He is maybe the best 168lber ever, and then he moves up and in his 1st fight he beats lineal 175lb champ Hopkins who was old yes but Joe was 36 at the time.

I just don't understand what so many ppl hate about him.

I liked watching his fights, he kept up the action and had a very unique style.

[GreatestIam]

seriously..they **** on everything this man has ever done

Its cuz he was on drugs

I never liked Jeff Lacy and I was a poster on this site then. YOU werent kid.

[Devils Advocate]

He's not American.

/thread

Really most American's didn't know who the hell Calzaghe was until he fought Jeff Lacy!!! Then he fought Peter Manfredo a guy that lost to Alfonso Gomez

[Mrs. Iceta]

the way these so called"boxing fans" act on here is disturbing

are you talking about no ceiling?

[B.U.R.N.E.R]
