A show of hands - who knew Lacy was an overrated overhyped rookie before the JC fight

[smashup]

I can remember about 5 people on this site that thought Calzaghe would win that fight

So theres 4 more left
I flew to manchester from London because i had a sneaky feeling Joe would do him.
Make no mistake about it...95% of this site though he'd get put on his ass by the "new mini Tyson" most of the press thought this too.

I was just getting into boxing then, I don't think I was even a member of this forum yet, so I had no idea who either guy was until well after the fight.

What's the point of this post? I'm not sure...

Do they still have the posts on this forum that date back that far?? My take on that fight is totally irrelevant as I was still getting more into boxing at the time and had never even seen Calzaghe fight, and not much of Lacy. However, what I had seen were his full fights against Sheika and Donnel Wiggins. Anyone who had seen those fights should have been able to expect that Calzaghe(or any good fighter) had at least a decent chance of winning. The simple fact is Lacy wasn't as good as he was being heralded as. Even the biggest Calzaghe fan should be able to see that in hindsight he was flawed and lacked skills. It's not so easy to go against the grain when a guy has a lot of hype around him though, so credit for anyone who actually did fully predict a dominating Calzaghe victory, though I doubt that includes anyone.

The threads were all lost but Trust me very few people on here on anywhere were tipping Calzaghe, but nearly everybody 'knew' after the fight that Lacy was overrated

To be fair, sometimes it works that way with exciting young fighters. It's very easy to take fights so selective that there flaws aren't really on display until they have to take the real step up to world class and face a different animal. Just because people didn't know that Lacy was an overhyped rookie who was overrated before Calzaghe dummied him doesn't neccesarily mean they are wrong to believe so afterwards Go back and watch him fight Omar Sheika, or Donell Wiggins(who has been KTFO early by any other live body he's fought).
