He has a big heart and a big punch, but unfortunately little defense and no boxing skills whatsoever. Joe didn't just beat him--he exposed him as being over-hyped and mediocre.
If Lacy is overhyped and mediocre then Calzaghe's victory means nothing.
I don't think he is overhyped or mediocre, I think he just took the fight a.) to early, b.) to lightly and c.) HE FROZE BIGTIME

Still got huge talent imo - just remains to be seen how mcuh his confidence has been damaged
i would go with a mixture of a) and c). i refuse to take any credit away from joe because i believe on that form he would have beaten lacy no matter if lacy was at his aggressive best...but the nature of the beatdown was surely also a consequence of lacy just not being able to turn it on quite as per unsual come fight night.....
