Your are so boring it's untrue
That's the thing about the truth. It usually is boring.
I agree with you that since Lacy and Tszyu neither has continued to operate at that level and it p1sses me off bigtime! - but give them credit for both doing something that not many people thought they would or could - and doing it in style i.e beating the recognized number 1 in their division
Tszyu hasn't fought again, yet. And Lacy continues to be the mediocre fighter he always has been. So what exactly is your point? Let me guess. Like always you have none, right?
Well Tszyu was beaten into retirement - so wots your point??

...and 'Lacy was always mediocre' 'nobody ever rated him' , 'Calzaghe was always gonna beat him' - I am sure you had Calzaghe favourite for that fight didn't ya LMAO

Shouldn't have 'medirocre' fighters all over Billboards and featured in the superbowl and being billed as the Super Middle weight Tyson should ya.

Just because most picked Lacy to beat Calzaghe doesn't mean that with hindsight they can't realize that he wasn't as good as they thought.. And I didn't even pick Lacy, I thought it could go either way without even having seen much of Calzaghe.. It's not as if there wasn't evidence that Lacy was seriously overhyped before he fought Joe... He struggled in several fights, with donnel Wiggins, Rubin Williams, Omar Sheika( who I had seen Calzaghe completely tortue and stop 5 years and 4 BAD LOSSES prior to his going the distance with Lacy, hurting him and winning many rounds), I think there were even another couple fights where he looked bad or was even in trouble like those 2. Can't really disagree with your point, since all the hype for Lacy was there, but it wasn't really deserved and there's nothing wrong with pointing that out after the fact.
Mate the amount of sh1t I listened to on here about how Calzaghe was gonna get murdered and how awesome Lacy was - regardless of whether Lacy was or wasn't it just p1sses me off when people discredit the win now - not saying VD was on the Lacy bandwaggon beofre hand but so many were.
