I remember this because, even though i believed Calzaghe could win, the show of support for Lacy was so great that it made me think the likely outcome will be a Lacy victory
Your damn right i knew it was obvious in his fights against Omar Sheika, Syd Vanderpool, he wasn't nowhere near as good as the hype. He only got overrated because of his win over a shot undertrained Robin Reid, and Robin Reid gave Joe Calzaghe his toughest fight, which made armchair fans think Jeff Lacy would destroy Joe Calzahghe because he destroyed Robin Reid.
Also his Amateur record got him overrated aswell, but funnily enough he didn't do so well in the Olympics. He was stopped in the 3rd round at the Olympics, another reason he got overrated was because of his power. Power punchers do tend to get very overrated.
