Froch vs bute or calzaghe vs lacy

[Rantcatrat]

Easily Froch vs Bute...Lacy was totally overhyped and is not a good boxer...Bute is decent enough but chinny...in a rematch Froch would win again...

Bute was totally over hyped

arguably to the same level as lacy

At the time of their fight, Calzaghe was the underdog, whereas Froch and Bute were even at the time of their clash. However, I think that was because Jeff Lacy looked the part, even if he wasn't the part. Many people thought Froch would win and he met their expectations with a dominant KO victory. Many people thought Calzaghe would be crushed and he vastly exceeded their expectations with his sadistic thrashing of Lacy. In terms of exceeding expectations with a career-defining victory, Calzaghe wins.

However, in terms of beating a superior opponent, Froch wins hands down in my opinion. Lucian Bute is much better than Jeff Lacy. Dominant wins over Brian Magee, Sakio Bika, Glen Johnson, Kabrary Salem and Librado Andrade are better than anything on Jeff Lacy's record by far. Bute was also a champion for five years with over 10 defenses of his title, between 2007 and 2012. It's not really comparable. What's Jeff Lacy's best win? Robin Reid?
