I think Calzaghe is Overhyped.

I think Jeff Lacy is good, Sakio Bika is better and Joe Calzaghe beat them both.

Only Mikkel Kessler can beat Calzaghe.

Lacy was just an upcomer and that victory was nothing spectacular considering that Lacy is not top fighter.

I undrestand Hatton's case when he beat Kostya Tszyu because Kostya was top P4P fighetr, but Calzaghe is being overhyped for beating an unproven fighter/prospect.

Lacy was still a Champion...he was young and healthy compared to Tszyu...although even a 35 year old Tszyu, coming off of two serious injuires, having fought only 9 rounds in 3 years is probably much better than Lacy...although I still wonder if grappling wasn't allowed how it would of turned out...then again, Tszyu didn't look so healthy at the weigh-in and come fight time.

but Lacy is not a P4P.... after he beat Lacy... Joe Cal lands #8-#10 in P4P rankings.

Kostya beat Mitchell whom many thought would beat him because of the long lay off. Kostya beat him by KO impressivley.

Lacy was unproven. Everybody can be healthy. ****, any bums right now who hasn't faced anyone IS HEALTHY AND YOUNG, but that don't mean they are great fighters.

He is being over hyped, and the title defence record is bogus. He just made his first title defence not what people claim.

I agree. Lacy shouldn't have fought Calzaghe....yet.

Looks like Lampley has a new pair of nuts to suck on.

What language are they speaking in each of the fighter's corner?

Lampley is a coward: he will talk trash about a fighter when they aren't there, but when a fighter is there, :*******:

I liked when George used to say to Lampley and Merchent, "You don't know what it is like to be a fighter"

I think Calzaghe is Overhyped.
