Maybe he would but I think it's legit. He was out of his element, you could see it just on his ring walk and after round 1. He wasn't ready for a fight that big. He didn't really discredit him, he said it was an excellent performance but...I'm sure he was telling the truth. I mean it's a lot easier to say he got beat by a better man then say that he blew it and it was on him. I have thought from the night of the fight on that it was as much of a Lacy loss then it was a Calzaghe win. Still it was a masterful performance.
To be honest I dont really see him saying " I was beaten by the better man". He said he could have been beaten by any man. Thats a small token of respect.

I wanna see Jeff do well, but to say any man could have beaten him that night does not bode well for the future....he needs to solve that defence..,.
Agree on the defence. But when he says any man could have beaten him, I think he was alluding to him being burnt out. It was his first ever big fight and...he just wasn't ready. Oh well, he'll be back and I think he'll get another fight with Calzaghe somewhere down the line and I still think he beats Calzaghe. Call me dellusional but Calzaghe fought Lacy's fight on the inside last time. It was just that Lacy was nothing more then a punching bag standing in front of him. Won't be the same a second time. Of course he needs 4 or 5 fights before a Calzaghe rematch is even discussed but I think it will happen.
I hope there is a rematch in the future. And though I will be supporting Lacy all the way in his comeback. When it comes to a fight with Joe, you know where I will display my loyalties.

I think Lacy can rule the division, but a victory over Calzaghe will not play a part in it...
