There was something special about Lacy though.
He was an Olympian, no mtter who you are thats a huge achievement.
He did scythe through each opponent in his early career, regardless of quality.

I just feel up until Round 1 of the Calzaghe fight he looked like a young man with tremendous faith in his own physical ability. A fighter can develop the skills from there.

But the Calzaghe defeat was so devastating he has the mentality of a first timer each time he enters the ring now.
