Are you nuts? Lacy runs over Tito like a freight train. ****, he runs over anyone 175 and below, mark my words. Lacy is the next king of the Light-Heavy's.

Hey, I might be PR but I'm not blind, deaf, and mute. I've seen Lacy fight and he is a monster! He has awesome stamina, great punching power, speed, and good footwork. What else do you need? He reminds me of a 1988 Tyson.

yeah, honestly, it'd be no contest. Lacy TKO
SO WHY DOES HOPKINS GET SO MUCH CREDIT FOR THE TITO WIN WHEN CALZAGHE GETS NONE FOR THE LACY WIN?

******ed ****s.
Because this is 2008 and we realize Lacy wasnt that Good, Tito WAS that good and undefeated and his power carried over well into middleweight, the fact that you have to dig up a thread i personally read on here 4 years ago just to get credibility to Joes win over lacy shows how much that win doesnt really stand the test of time, stop being desperate.
I don't understand why Calzaghe fans try so hard to legitimize their idol. Do you guys really care that much if Boxing Scene approves of Calslappy...his work in the ring should be enough for you guys to be satisfied, if it isn't, then take it up with your messiah.
Lol Tito would KO Lacy at 168 now or in 2004 or whenever. Lacy is there to get hit and Tito ****s anyone who stands toe to toe. A Tito win over Lacy would mean more because he moved up 4 divisions to do so if they ever fought. Basically all these predictions 4 years ago were proven wrong. Tito KO's Lacy mid to late rounds at any point of their careers at 168.
Joe did put on a masterful performance against Lacy the best in his career and it may seem like circular logic but alot of people agree that Lacy was never that good. Just alot of hot air. You'll probably accuse me of being biased against European fighters but I'm not. He fought a 43 year old Hopkins and beat him by split decision. I used to think Joe was the best ever fighter from the UK but not anymore based off his performance against the 43 year old Hopkins. I'm back to thinking Lewis is the best fighter to come from the UK.
I think Joe feasted on a weak divison beat hyped American fighter who in hindsight was not good, beat a good European fighter in Kessler but once he came over to fight against the best it was a classic case in Europe's aggregate history when it comes to boxing. They do great over in Europe but when they come to face the best in America it's a different story. 43 year old Hopkins dropped him in the first and lost in a close competitive fight at 43.
Again I'm not hating on Europe or UK fighters it's just the truth. Nazeem Hamed was great in Europe he came to the US to face the best and almost got KO'd against Kevin Kelly in his debut and then lost to MAB. Ricky Hatton looked great in Europe and beat some names nowhere near their prime but then fought Luis Collazo and in many peoples opinions lost that fight in his US debut and then got hurt against Urango and then got KO'd by Mayweather.
The only one in my time to break the mold is of course Lennox Lewis the best HW in his era. I think if Joe had fought Hopkins when he was 41 or below he would have lost by wide UD or even by KO. You may not like what you're reading but I'm not against European fighters at all. I have a case of facts I laid out for you that leads me and others to believe the quality of fighters over there is not the same as in the Western Hemisphere with countries like the US, PR and Mexico the 3 best countries in the world when it comes to boxing.
When the best in Europe face the best in the Western World the majority of the time European fighters get beat.

******ed ****s.
Tito is a much much better fighter than Lacy ever was. Tito is a 5 time world champ in 3 different divisions and future Hall Of Famer thats why. Lacy is none of these things that's why.
Well I think it's still bias, if Europeans fight in America they're going to have to change their usual pre fight training to climatise etc. When the roles are reversed it's very different (Calzaghe - Lacy, Hopkins - Mercardo).
