He said he was punched harder by other opponents, which must mean Lacy's power is overrated a bit too.
I don't think Lacys power is overrated. What I do think happend was the Manchcester climate or somthing he ate. Since round 3, Lacys punchs were all arm punchs and had nothing on them. He was gassed. In the tenth or eleventh round you see Lacy land a hook that shook Calzaghe. And if you look at the fight again, their parts where as soon as Lacy hits Calzaghe, Calzaghe punchs and grabs or grabs. Calzaghe had a great startegy and speed to beat Lacy.

You could be right. Maybe fighting at sea-level, where's there's a maximum of Oxygen available is not suitable to lacy's physiology. he could be a guy who likes altitudes, where your lungs and muscles are starved quickly and your performance degrades quickly.
Hey, maybe that's what happened! A high alitiude micro-climate formed around Lacy's head during the fight, while eveyone else at MEN Arean was unaffected.
That's gotta' be it. No conspiracy here, just scientific fact.

On a side note....eating popcorn and watching the fight is not as strenuous as actually fighting. That's for sure.
i dunno, if lacy was able to get off "A" punch Calzaghe might have been saying something different.
but the thing is lacy when he did throw, he had nothing on his punches, and the ones that had steam on they cooled down the people at ringside as he missed and whiffed all night long.
lacy has power, calzaghe just took it all away be smothering holding at the right times and landing a blitzkreig of punches on lacy at will... tough to have any power when your getting your ass handed to you....
