As for his experience, he may have fought a few more classy fighters than lacy did... but in 24 fights how much has he learned?
And don't assume that just because you knew nothing about him in the UK... that over here we only rate Calzaghe off him beating up a hyped 1D puncher.
He can beat anynody out there who is near enough his weight to fight him... wether he will or not depends on to many factors but he has a high chance of beating every fighter from 160-175 out there..
You need to drop the double standards Hulk... "No fighter is invincible, and certainly not Calzaghe. This is the attitude that makes some Americans hate British fighters, the snobbish attitude that some Brits have about their good fighters."
Are you kidding me? Our fighters trash talk less than half as much as yours... are twice and moddest and thinking your favourite fighter in unbeatable is certainatly not exclusive to any one country... least of all the USA.
Listen, I do not think I know everything. I don't. That was proved after Mayorga got his ass whipped by Oscar. I had to eat a lot of crap for that, and rightfully so. Likewise with Lacy and Calzaghe, I picked Lacy to win. Anyway, Jeff Lacy didn't talk a bunch of crap, and was respectful before and after the fight. A couple times after he KO'd Reid and Pemberton, he shouted "Joe I'm comin for you! I'm gonna knock you out!" Or something like that, but nothing more. And no, Calzaghe hasn't been talking much crap, mainly just his rabid fans.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
