Uhh maybe because Holyfield was fighting MIKE TYSON and Calzaghe was fighting JEFF LACY
I remember some of the casual comments leading up to that one on the networks,Openly fearing for Holyfields health and not wanting to witness a ring tragedy . Me,I won fifty bucks that night and broke the tape rewatching it so many times Ironically it was Lamply (?) I believe who said on air in one of his fights "Im seeing flashes of Holyfield in Lacy".Company man hype 101 !!

Calzaghe actually was spectacular and watching Lacy's build up throughout early stages you just knew that his over reliance on straight forward mega hooking was bound to get exploited by a Mover with top notch hand speed and great stamina.What a clinic.
