The only way he can be the same man he was against reid would be if he fought reid again.

Simple as that.....reid was shot to pieces, did no sparring, had a duff ref to deal with and got cuffed to defeat.

Lacy was one big hype machine

You know how bad the hype was? People at my work...just regular sports fans were saying things like 'calzaghe is going to get knocked out' and i simply asked 'how many jeff lacy fights have you seen?'

Guess what the answer was?

Zero

I respect lacy for his heart and especially the determination he showed that night.....but the guy is a pretty average, one-dimensional fighter. Gary Shaw is one deluded man.
