Did the Calzaghe fight ruin Jeff Lacy?

[ssss]

Yes it did but he always did have major flaws which could be taken advantage of it has to be said the he was lucky that his 3 best wins were past there prime Syd Vanderpool Robin Reid Omar Sheika none of these fighters even at that best would i consider world class. Most of the time come forward fighters like Lacy have no defence and are 1 dimensional normally they do get found out unless the punchers are special like George Foreman Joe Louis amongst many other greats.

When you look at the so-called pro picks its about 20-1 in favour of Lacy. But to be honest 99% of those guys were American and American sports writers as a whole are not objective, hear "British" and think bum and see a power puncher and its love at first sight.

Ive never seen so many writers and casters not only wrong but completely and utterly wrong.

That is quite shocking and just furthers the point that big punchers get very overrated i mean say two years ago Kelly Pavlik vs Joe Calzaghe wouldn't have been even talked about and now everyone wants to see it and are accusing Calzaghe of ducking. There will always be a new young puncher coming up through the ranks that they will want Joe Calzaghe to face or any champion for that matter i believe that if Floyd Mayweather defeats the winner of Miguel Cotto vs Antonio Margarito i bet you the fans will want Mayweather to fight Andre Berto in a few years and accuse him of ducking Berto if he chooses not to fight him.
