    I can't see Lacy beating even an 80% Calzaghe, he's too limited for Joe. Joe looked fantastic last night for four rounds and then the way he kept Ashira off so easily with the right jab, right hooks and ring smarts for eight rounds I thought was actually real impressive! He even had the nerve to frequently drop his gloves below his knees and stick his chin out on a platter for Ashira who could barely lay a glove on him all night. I really had thought that Calzaghe was finished, but after seeing him last night I saw that he still has some.
    You owe him apology, did you call him a warrior or something and want to apologise for giving him too much credit. Calzaghe said he was going to get injured in this fight and he did.

      Barrera doesn't beat Prime Naz (Naz Prime was 94/95/96/first half of 97), no version of Barrera beats Prime Hamed.

      You only have to watch the documentary 'the Little Prince - the Big Fight' to see that Hamed wasn't preparing right at all for Barrera and was more focused on his hair and stuff than doing any training.

        shows just how much of a joke he was, dealing with his hair rather than a dangerous opponent.

          Both Hopkins and Jones Jr claimed that they were willing to travel to the Millenium Stadium to fight for Joe's super-middleweight title in super-fights, but deep down both knew that they had no intention of taking the fight unless they were offered ridiculous money to make up for the fact that they probably were going to lose.

          It's similar to when Toney ****ing Rejected a 60/40 purse share IN HIS FAVOR to fight the winner of Benn-Eubank II, ****ing pisses me off.
          When did they duck Calzaghe. Calzaghe has never even ought at 175 so how has Roy ducked Calzaghe. Calzaghe is scared of Jeff Lacy yet he is willing to fight Roy Jones. You really are a dumbass.

            Mayweather doesn't take tune ups against bums 2 Months before fighting guys like Castillo and Corrales though does he now and he doesn't say that he is going to get injured before fights as well. Never compare a disgraceful ducker to one of the sports greatest ever fighters again man.

              So when Somebody avoids Eubank with an injury it is ducking yet when Calzaghe gets injured in a fight that should never have happened and he even predicted before the fight, all you do is defend him.

                Frank Warren speaking about the break down of he Calzaghe vs Hopkins match up.

                "We had an agreement for the Hopkins fight to happen," said Warren. "I had discussed terms with Don King, who looks after Hopkins, and I had American TV with Showtime. I would have paid Hopkins £3 million($5.5m), but suddenly he said he wouldn't take the fight unless he was paid £6m($11m)"
                Frank Warren isn't a reliable source. Now that Calzaghe is his only champion because Hatton left him he won't let Calzaghe go near any breathing opponent.

                    I got a whole bunch of Calzaghe fights on file that I have not gotten around to watching yet. I think I will watch those fights before picking a winner in thsi apparent "fantasy" matchup. Lacy is good because his stamina is amazing and he has good power, in some ways other than defence, he kinda like a 168 pound version of Joe Frazier, but his heart has yet to have been really tested, and one of the main things that define Joe Frazier is his heart.

                    But even Lacy's nickname "left hook," Frazier's Marquis punch.

                      What about Brewer and Mitchell? All the American's were saying that they'd KTFO Calzaghe, it didn't happen.
                      Please stop talking like Brewer and Mitchell were worth a ****, neither one of them should be considered quality "career defining" opponents.

                      Seriously would any other fighters that have held titles as long as Joe get away with having the audacity of saying that one of their greatest victories was against a guy that got ko'ed by Lolenga Mock in 10 rds?
