    Lmao yeah F'ing right.

    It's really easy to just claim that years after but at the time he was a wrecking ball and 75% + of the Boxing media and fans thought he was invincible.

        Because Calzaghe is the #1 ATG according to 90% of UK boxing fanatics.

              Vanderpool was a pretty decent pug but Lacy was being hailed as the next Mike Tyson. I never saw it. He ALWAYS struggled every time I saw him. And for such a powerful guy, he never laid anyone early. Quite frankly not only did I think he was overrated, I thought his power was as well> And I'mw ell aware he was still a prospect but his ability to ascend so quickly speaks more to the relative weakness of the 168lb division that it did his own skill.

                  Calzaghe gets **** on so much by jealous yanks it gets us all on the defensive about him.

                  Great fighter Joe, not as good as Pac or May but he deserves his respect. Don't try insulting my intelligence and say that he'd lose to Dirrell, Ward, Dawson et all.

                  Ward would have been a tough fight for him mind and he's not the finished product yet.

                    That was a good fight. Saw it live. Syd seemed to be ahead but also was getting the worst of it when the fight was stopped. Ref Probably could have let it gone longer but I lean towards the result being the same - and I bet Vanderpool that night. Probably one of Lacy's best outings.

                      I remember watching the Reid fight and thinking lacy wasn't all that great either.
