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.
I agree. Though i think hop would do it better than roy. I say this with no offense to roy but southpaws have been his only problem. The first man to drop him was a southpaw and the first man to knock him out was a southpaw so he might have a little trouble considering joes height. But i think hop would own him because hes great against sothpaws. His best punch is the best weapon against a sothpaw:his right hand and I honestly feel joe ain't tough enough to fight hop. Hop is a rough mentally strong guy. He would rough him up big time and I don't know if he can handle it
