Hellava post. I agree with it all. Lacy was a bit of both. He wasn't an all out fraud but he wasn't what he was made out to be. The guy just can not box. Like Taeth said, Lacy wings his shots and he takes his share of shots in the process. It was a matter of time before the real book on him blew open. And Calzaghe didn't ruin him exactly but he may as well have because what Lacy did have was oozing confidence and Calzaghe broke that. Lacy bought into his own hype and found out in a crash that he has no plan B, can not box, and he takes a lot of shots so he must win by stoppage otherwise he better pack a lunch. I remember when Lacy was calling out B-Hop before Hopkins-Taylor 1 and I knew that would be disastrous on his career because he was really the only one who didn't know he couldn't box a lick and he would have hell to pay with a tactical boxer.
