He looked ring rusty and gun shy against Manfredo and got away with it. Let his next fights tell what he's worth.
He was exposed way before Calzaghe fight.
Well the reason I don't agree with that is because he was such a heavy favourite before the Calzaghe fight. It had bee expected that Jeff would severely beat Joe and that Joe was nothing in comparison to the Lacy steamroller.

It was a commonly held belief among experts that Jeff was the best Super Middle in the world and whilst that was the general opinion he couldn't have been exposed before that.
