Was Jeff Lacy a fake or did Calzaghe ruin him?

[The Shadow]

Calzaghe exposed Lacy the way Hopkins did to Pavlik. Lacy vs Pavlik could be an interesting match up in the future.

Yeah, please don't forget to pass the crack pipe to your right, buddy.

Okay whatever that means.I will pass it around to you when I am done. Lacy was supposed to be the next big thing like Pavlik and should have lost to Calzaghe just like Hopkins was supposed to lose to Pavlik. And Calzaghe was the one with injuries prior to the Lacy fight not the other way around. Now since that fight Lacy has been plagued with shoulder injuries. Wanna go for round 2 or continue passing the crack pipe to the right?

Actually Lacy tore his rotator-cuff after the Calzaghe fight. Another thing to take into consideration is the fact that Calzaghe was one of the greatest super-middleweights of all time. A walk in to any hall of fame. The same can be said about Hopkins.
It took me some time to figure out how good Calzaghe was because he fought out of Wales. I always knew how good Hopkins was and I can also make a strong argument that Hopkins got screwed out of the decision against Calzaghe.
In other words, there is ABSOLUTELY no shame in losing to the likes of fighters like Calzaghe or Hopkins. Both were and are athletic phenoms gifted with a rare combination of superb, athletic genetic make-up and the persistant determination to harness and refine their natural gifts in a spectacular fashion.
Perhaps the crack pipe joke was a bit over the top. I just think that you should take into consideration how great Calzaghe and Hopkins are.

I totally take into consideration the greatness of Hopkins and Calzaghe. I believe this thread was titled was Lacy fake or did Calzaghe ruin him. And yes I know that Lacy tore his rotator cuff after the fight hence why I said it was Calzaghe with the injuries not Lacy up until then. Both of them have ruined careers Hopkins to Pavlik and Calzaghe to Lacy thats why I said Lacy and Pavlik would be an interesting showdown for shits and giggles.

I don't think a fight between Lacy and Pavlik would be interesting at all. The only fight I see of interest for Pavlik is Abraham.
I think Pavlik looked decent in his one-sided demolition of Rubio last weekend. I would love to see a rematch between him and Hopkins. Oddly,
I didn't hear Pavlik even bringing up his name. Go figure.

I'd like to see that fight. Then again I like Kelly and would expect him to be the first to KO Jeff!

Lacy had his flaws prior to Calzaghe, but having said that Calzaghe was on pure fire in that fight. Very few fighters could have kept up with him. That was a beating, but the injury after Calzaghe certainly contributed to Lacy's decline too.

Lacy was no fake, but he wasn't as good as the US media portrayed him to be. And though Calzaghe beat him up, there were added factors that have left him as he is.
