So who did Joe Calzaghe duck?

Nah, Lacy is garbage. Zero wins over ranked opponents.

Pavlik atleast was the legit Lineal Champion at 160.

It would have easily been on of his top 5 wins. Easily.

I think saying Calzaghe's resume is average is an overstatement.

lacy is garbage but its joes 3rd best win.

Yeah.

Which is embarrassing on all levels.

Yeah I do agree with you on Froch to be fair. Fight didn't make sense at the time. I'd still have liked to have seen it though like when Froch fought Groves when he was his mandatory and didn't really need to at the time. But Hopkins P4P #3 and #1 LHW for a boat load of money on HBO PPV or Carl Froch? Easy choice.

Agreed on Pavlik too, but that's why Calzaghe should have taken it. Low risk high reward but Hopkins ended up getting it instead. Blunder from Joe who's career is quite dire already.

Yeah, I think Slapsie was all wrong for Froch (as Froch himself admits, to be fair) and it wouldn't have been pretty. Pavlik would have been more difficult, maybe, but it still could have been a ranked opponent in his W column.

As for Lacy, I agree, he wasn't awful, but the hype for him in NSB was beyond belief.

I remember when he missed multiple punches against a shot Sandman who then clearly quit for a payday. I logged on here and was reading about how Lacy was now "P4P top ten material". Honestly. Whenever I said anything (like how much he missed even against relatively stationary opponents) I'd just be a "bias Brit".
