Do you really think Calzaghe fought Lacy on the back foot
I havent seen the fight for a couple of years now but im pretty certain Calzaghe took the fight to him 95% of the fight.

From what i recall he did especially early in the fight.\

He used his superior footwork to have Lacy come to him and then peppered him with combos then moved out.
I'm sure as the fight went on Calzaghe did start pressing forward.

backfoot but that was another strength of Calzaghe's, he was good at both.

He was better at waiting until great fighters were hitting their 40's before fighting them than anything.

Veit in Germany was a beatdown really impressive performance, even though he was fighting a overrated stiff.
