Lacy's biggest win was Scott Pemberton/Omar Sheika/Robin Reid. Take your pick. None of them are great wins. Calzaghe and his fans can't go a day without mentioning the Lacy shut-out as though it even ranks up there with Mayweather's domination of Gatti. Newsflash: it doesn't. Fight the winner of Kessler-Beyer, who, without a doubt, will be a more proven fighter than Lacy was.



Kessler KO Beyer in 7 round
Take a CC to help out that ratio man I agree that Calzaghe fans are putting too much into his win over Lacy. To be the best you have to fight the best. Then again...the SMW division has never seemed to have the deepest talent pool and you can make the argument that calzaghe fought everyone he could. Still, I think either Jones or Hopkins would mop the floor with him.
