Joe Calzaghe: Stop living off of Lacy

[Violent Demise]

It was not a huge win by any means. It was an impressive performance in that he dominated a guy most people figured would beat him. In retrospect, Lacy was not nearly as good as Showtime made him out to be. Wright's domination of Trinidad was twice as impressive because Trinidad has an impressive history. 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

Hillarious. You people kill me with this bullshit.

You all find it so easy to overlook all the other men that Calzaghe destroyed with ease...you all find it so easy to overlook the fact that he's beaten better men than Kessler...Lacy...or anyone else at 168lbs.

Deal. Calzaghe is a worthy champion...a brilliant boxer...& a respectful fighter. Just because some of you have your noses poked in some dark places that they shouldn't be...doesn't mean Joe isn't worth the praise.

Lacy was the best at 168lbs & he proved himself to be more durable than Kessler & fought better fighters than Kessler did in his first 20 or some odd fights.

I see your drunk again, eh Wack?  I rather blame it on the booze instead of stupidity.  What good fighters has Calzcrappy actually destroyed?    Will McIntyre?  Tocker Pudwill?  Mger Mkrtchian?  There garbage.  And his win over the shot, glass jawed Byron Mitchell was on of the most "premature, the ref is my friend" type stoppage's I ever seen. 

I tried to ignore it the first time...but unfortunately...your'e to blinded by your own stupidity & hate to recognize actual talent.

Again...you can break down anyone's competition out there...you can come up with any excuse or variable...but the man can fight...he is undefeated & he's accomplished a hell of a lot as a fighter. He's kept his title & he also defeated one of the most respeceted & greatest up & comer of the past 2-3 years.

I hate it for you hater...but Calzaghe is a hell of a lot more skilled than anyone at 160 to 175 right now. Excluding Wright or Hopkins...I really don't see that there's anyone out there that will beat him...& I don't just say this over the Lacy win...because I was lauding the possibility of a Calzaghe win prior to the fact.

You can keep on bringing that drunken factor in to it...but you just keep proving what you accuse me of after that...stupidity.

Again...you need to deal with the fact that the guy is a champion. He's also got quite an amatuer record too...but drunkenly stupidly...you overlook that also.

Go ahead &        me...because I just changed you back to what you deserve for your hate. 

Can't do that, I sc'ed you earlier on.  And your missing the point.  I never once said Joe, couldn't fight.  I've said he's overrated and hasn't accomplished a hell of a lot .  A lot of guys can fight.  Mark Breland, Ed Hopson, Kelcie Banks.  Them guys could fight.  But they didn't do much.  And neither has Calzaghe.  Yes, he dominated Lacy.  But Lacy wasn't much.  And I can say this cuz it's nothing new. You'll never find a post in which I said Lacy was going to murder Calzaghe.  Cuz I never taught much of Lacy.  And you keep bringing up this title he has.  It's a WBO title!  It's regarded less than the IBF.  And that's say something.  You say it's a great accomplishment that he's defended it so much.  If that's the case, than how come you never praise Artur Grigorian?  He held a crappy ass WBO title too.  He defended it over 15 times!  Why he get no love from you?
