dont get carried away with calzaghe

[Moschino045]

The problem with having power is that you have to make use of it... I would even go as far as saying Calzaghe had more power on the night, simply because he could land them, and Calzaghe's power is massively underrated also.

if Lacey wasnt so damn muscle bound, he could of landed a few big shots & won the fight earlyu. it was just that JC got abit lucky that Lacey was so slow on the night, & that Laceys big shots were just missin him slightly. credit to JC he ducked well, his hands are still fast, he had home advantage etcetera but dont get carried away

of course ppl are gonna get carried away wev all just witnessed the most 1 sided fight ever

[Moschino045]

yeh but a big puncher vs a fast boxer & it is going to be one sided becos the big punchers only chance is to land big punches (which Lacey couldnt do becos he was away from home & nervous on the night)

Lol, some Cal fans from another board think that he would've knocked out Hagler & Toney. The 2 of the best chins in the middleweight history.

[.::|ULTIMATE|::.]

i always thought Lacy was just a strong power puncher and not that great, and this was my 1st time seeing Joe.

But Joe is a ****ing beast. I dont think Roy would have had the legs enough to run away all day against Joe.

Yeah i also thought a lot of people jumped the gun on lacy.

Joe did look good his hand speed made the difference he saw lacy's shots coming and he kept popping him with shorter quicker punches.

he was fighting a rubbish oponent

The same rubbish opponent who was supposed to be the 'next big thing' in boxing?? Okay, whatever.

[T to the T]

he was fighting a rubbish oponent...

...Tarver, Hop, Winky, jermain Taylor all beat him !

IDIOT ALERT!!!


Face it, a Brit beat one of your overrated Yanks from here to Timbuktu White men can't jump, but they can definately box!!!

i thought his name was calzone.....

so much for his big future in the pizza business

any body with any skills would of schooled Lacey

Well 35-2 Syd Vanderpool (who beat Glen Johnson, but lost to Bernard Hopkins), Robin Reid and others couldn't manage it. Guys at the 2000 Olympics couldn't manage it where Lacy got a medal.

Give me a break.

Everybody knew that if Calzaghe could roll back the years, he could easily get the better of Lacy because Calzaghe was That Good. It's just that nobody expected him to be able to roll back the years like that.

Calzagge is still not in the same class as RJJ, Eubank, Toney, Benn or Nunn,,

Well, I don't go along with these word games. There are things that Calzaghe does that Jones Jr couldn't, and there are things that Jones Jr did that Calzaghe can't, etc. They are all in the same class - top-class middleweights/super-middleweights, and they all have their own styles where they do some things better than others and other things not as well as others.

Calzaghe beats Toney on styles, IMO. Nunn was never at his best at 168, and if Steve Little can out-hussle Nunn then just imagine the workrate, speed of hand, sense of timing/distance of Calzaghe against a faded Nunn at 168. Eubank would of beaten Calzaghe, yes. Benn, yeah if he was at his best then yeah okay Benn gets Calzaghe out of there. Jones beats Calzaghe on styles, nothing to be ashamed of.
