I'm sure that the Calzaghe demolishing has took everything out of Lacy and it showed in his return match against Vitali Tsypko with a narrow Majority decision which I thought he was VERY lucky to get the win.
I'm just concerned with the lack of fights and no news on Lacy whether he can be the same fighter like he was against Reid, Pemberton etc or has the Calzaghe defeat taken it all out of him.
His last poor showing was entirely down to the shoulder injury...I certainly hope that lacy becomes a force again. Despite his representation in the media before the Calzaghe fight i think Jeff is a genuinely nice guy and could potentially be great for the sport of boxing.
I dont think he was that good before Calzaghe if anything he could get better he's still young enough to turn it all around
He's walking around at 195 tho?!!!! Perhaps at a higher weight?
haha. I love it. Another way to belittle Calzaghe's crowning moment. You really hate the guy don't ya? lol.Quote:

When i made this comment it was'nt a dig at Calzaghe i was just saying he was'nt that good before he fought Calzaghe look how he struggled with Sheika if he was that good he would have wiped floor with him.Not everything i say about Calzaghe is negative and should'nt be taken negative.Quote:

Lacy definately needs to work on his defense.
Calzaghe exploited that like a wolverine in heat.
His last fight it's understandable that his shoulder was hurt,
but look at his past fights and tell me he isn't wide open
for shots.
I am by no stretch of the imagination trying to say he isn't
a great boxer, nor do I have any intention of degrading the
Calzaghe win over him, but let's be realistic he is a guy that
relies on his power and not his defense, against the top guys
in the division, he will have a hard time.
I never thought he was as great as people made out i see him struggle with Sheika and few others it was big win for Calzaghe but with hindsight i don't see why we can't say he wasn't as good as people thought but i never thought he was great anyway he was decent fighter with good power and thats all i see in him and im not trying to take anything away from Calzaghe or Lacy but it is pretty true if you think about it.Quote:
