Im done hiding, I gotta tell ya...I like Calzaghe in this one!

The original poster is absolutely right about Lacy's age and he won't be getting much better. Many people forget that he is the same age as Floyd Mayweather yet no one is talking about Floyd 'improving'.

Lacy isn't as polished as Calzaghe and he doesn't have the big fight experience that Calzaghe's got (although he hasn't had many big fights). I think Calzaghe wins. Joe throws a lot of in-tight hooks and can mix his game up a little. Lacy, on the other hand, throws wide looping punches and will get caught by a good puncher like Calzaghe. Even with quicker handspeed, Lacy will be shocked the same way Quarry shocked Shavers. A bold prediction on my part, but I'm pretty sure of it.

"I've fought both and I can tell you, Calzaghe's hand speed is far superior to Lacy's," Reid told the Sun. "Joe will also be much too strong for Lacy. I was surprised how I could easily push Lacy around the ring. For all his reputation, Lacy is nowhere near as strong as Joe and will get beat inside the distance."

Reid had to train in the hotel lobby for lack of being provided somewhere more "proper" to train when he fought Lacy, and Pemberton was 39 coming into the bout and had engaged in many, many wars. Lacy has american hype written all over him.

Calzaghe has just as much tneacity, I think the younger Lacy hits harder but he hits alot wider too, Joe's handspeed should be enought to beat the wild swinging slugger to the punch.

lacys is a SMART puncher, no matter what ppl say. any1 who has seen one of his fights were he happen to not make a fool of the guy in >4 rounds will nkow he punches big when he has the guy hurt, which in some cases is the whole fight (see pemberton fight) but when he is not looking for the KO, he can box, of course not great, but odnt make it out to seem that he just throws huge swinging punches.

btw, have u ever seen either fight more than twice? b/c otherwise i think u wouldve known the above, and that calzaghe is notorious for throwing wide slaps at some points

For some reason, I've been having visions of Calzaghe quitting in this one, and I don't think of him as a wuss or a quitter or anything. I see something like Corrales-Freitas going down, and it's crazy because somehow I knew Corrales would be getting beat up and suddenly start dropping Freitas all over the ring.

I could actually see that goin' down, too. Much like Kostya Tszyu against Ricky Hatton. It was a close fight, and Tszyu wasn't out of it. I could see Calzaghe getting frustrated against, IMO, the best fighter he's ever faced. I don't think Lacy will blow him out. I hope he does, but I think it'll be a close fight. I wouldn't be shocked if it played out a lot like the aforementioned fight, or as you put it Corrales-Freitas. The way these two guys quit was totally different, but I could see either scenario playing out.

Calzaghe won't quit. He might get knocked out who knows but he won't quit.

Lacey Is Way Out Of His Depth Here, Joe Will Leave Americans Eating Humble Pie And Will Demand Respect After Beating Up Lacey

Ive never seen either one of them fight but from what i hear it should be a pretty good fight, yes?

Are you from Florida-if so that would explain the Calzaghe bias-dont they televsie all of his fights there...yes?
