If the Calzaghe fight had got called off how would Jeff Lacys future have been?

[BoomBoom]

I think the Lacy win the most overrated on Calzaghes resume. It was such a big win, mainly because Lacy was such a hyped fighter and he was undefeated. He is a mediocre to good fighter comparable to the level of fighter as a Peter Manfredo or Omar Sheika, but because the media made him out to be a monster, it seemed like a monster win for Calzaghe at the time. Lacy could have easily lost the decisions in his last 5 fights imo, so if it wasnt Calzaghe to expose him, it would have been someone else.

He would've got found out soon enough, just not so brutally as against Calzaghe. Would probably be in a similar position to someone like Sakio Bika is now, rather than floundering away his career.

Bika gave a much better fight to Calzaghe.

I always want to root for Lacy, but it goes like this, jab, slip left, left hook over the top and repeat and repeat and repeat. I used to really like the guy he had a good demeaner and trained hard. But to be honest he is a one trick pony, Calzaghe knew this and exlpoited like no other. To be fair he did show a lot of heart against Tsypko (though I had Tsypko winning) fighting on with a torn rotator cuff. I think Lacy was a case of it was just a matter of time. Kessler, Andrade, Bute all of these guys would have undoubtedly beat Lacy as well, maybe not as badly as Calzaghe, but badly.

He would of been exposed soon enough by Kessler.
