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

[killersheep]

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.

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.
