    You're as predictable as they come.

    Give praise to American fighters who have done absolutely nothing, but **** on a legit great fighter. You're are disgraceful clowns.

      Lacy was a top guy who just happened to lose to the very top guy at the weight. It's happened throughout history. Not Joe's fault he ruined Lacy and he was never the same again. But if Joe would have refused the fight, he would have been hounded for ducking.

      If you would have asked everyone at the time of the fight if Lacy would be a great win should he come through, every one would say yes. Especially given the fact that they all pretty much thought Lacy was going to ruin Joe. He was the next big American superstar, but Joe put the brakes on that. It's only now they want to rip Joe off and make ****** claims that the win meant nothing. That's a lie. So it is a shame to see people like you dogging him. But then again, boxing fans are the worst of all sports fans. Absolutely disgraceful.

        You know what's predictable? Assuming someone's nationality.

        So many brits who actually followed Calzaghe's lackluster career identify it as such. Legit great fighter Good joke.

          So you would have supported Joe swerving Lacy due to him not having a stellar resume? Yeah, sure you would. No matter what Joe did, people like you will always spew your ****ing poison.


          Add to the fact that you support Golovkin who has a much worse resume then it's clear the problem for you is the fact that he's a Brit. **** off you freak.

              Omar Shieka ruined Lacy before Calzaghe.

              Lacy is and always was garbage. The fact that he was given ridiculous unwarranted hype is irrelevant.

              Lacy beat no top fighters, won a vacant belt over an unranked fighter. He did nothing to suggest he was a top fighter.

                but lacy was never good. doesn't matter if people thought he was going to be good. he wasn't. it doens't mean nothing but its just not a great win like you pretend. its not even as good as ortiz beating berto. is ortiz a great fighter now as well? how about maidana cause he beat broner? you are better off rolling with the kessler win and the hopkins robbery. thats a better play then pretending lacy was amazing.

                and the signs were there if you really looked. he barely squeeked by omar sheika and was in a very close fight with syd vanderpool before getting a dubious ko. this was not some guy who was ever going to be a top fighter unless he seriously improved his game. people picked against calzaghe cause calzaghe was like vasaly senchenko. a guy just hoarding a belt fighting past it fighters and nobodies.

                  Sheika most certainly didn't ruin anybody. It was a tough fight, yeah. But to say he ruined him? Not one person who isn't biased would agree with your complete nonsense.

                  Vanderpool was a good fighter. So that's not a bad win for Lacy.

                    Yeah, you're nothing but a bitter hate filled little troll. No matter what you'll never give Joe his due credit. What you're saying here is nothing but laughable. It would be a waste of time talking about this subject with you. So go away you nutter.

                      why are you talking about ducking lacy? i dont even understand where you are getting that from. he was thinking about doing that like he ducked glen johnson but warren convinced him he could win so he took the fight. LIKE HE SHOULD HAVE. it doesnt mean lacy was amazing cause calzaghe finally grew balls. he was not amazing.

                      he did what he should have and you want to give him special credit because he wasted the fist ten years of his career? also ggg has beaten more top 10 fighters and just fought the top 3 guys in his division(2017 rankings) so yeah i'll take ggg anyday. and when you factor in that ggg is some guy from kazakhstan and didn't have any backing from promoters, networks, or his country and calzaghe had uk and network backing and yet ended up with that crap resume?

                      its clear calzahe wasn't interested in becoming a great fighter until the very end of his career when he thought he could make up for treading water and doing nothing. froch is a much more accomplished fighter than calzaghe, beat better fighters, and took more risks oh wait hes from the uk so i guess i hate him? stop with your straw man arguments
