So I just watched Calzaghe-Lacy and........

Lacy is the perfect example of media hype gone wrong. It's so important to take the right steps as a young fighter but Lacy was pushed too fast. U dont go from fighting the Sheikas and the pembertons of the division to stepping up to a world class talent like Calzaghe.. His handlers obviously had alot of faith in him and at the same time they didnt think much of Calzaghe but boy did they miscalculate..

Exactly - Lacy wasnt pushed too fast in terms of what he was meant to be able to handle and in fairness Calzaghe had beaten an ageing Eubank and got knocked down by Mitchell and someone else - admittingly getting up to win - but them and mario veit with close decisions vs brewer and reid - hell I would probably have made the same error and thought it would at the very least be a touch and go either way fight
