Do u americans think that we british fans hype up ...

lol... lyle, if the UK went overboard with Ricky Hatton then the US put on concrete shoes and wrapped chains around itself before diving into the atlantic over Jeff lacy...

Of course I exagerated, but Jeff Lacy was an OK fighter, I think he could have done very well had he not gotten injured.....what's Ricky's excuse?

I actually think had Lacy been brought along at a more sensible pace he could've gone far. I really believe that Calzaghe ruined him and I said at the end of that fight, that's it for Lacy, noway he recovers from that. Calzaghe had been a World Chapion for 4 years before Lacy was even a pro. The Lacy that fought Robin Reid is not the Lacy of today - Shame!

1st time i ever saw jeff lacy fight was against reid as i seem to remember it getting a repeat on sky sports a week later. Came away that night thinking lacy was indeed the real deal and more than capable of handling calzaghe as reid was a top top fighter at the time who had run JC closer than anyone else had.

But a combination of lacy completely underestimating some chump from the UK he`d never heard of and calzaghe beggining to show us his status as an all time great he indeed took an absoloute peltering that night and for the life of me cant understand why it was allowed to go the full 12.

Had it of been a 5round massacre, lacy would of been able to rebuild and start again having learnt a harsh lesson. But as youve already said nobody recovers from a beating that he took that night at the hands of JC

We I must just be a bandwagoner, b/c I like all fighters who come to fight. Especially if they have a certain weakness that can be exposed that they cover up with heart and valor.

Joe Cal was not a big puncher - made up for it in volume
Hatton had no defense - used endless amounts of offense
David Haye is a somewhat sloppy fighter leaving his chin out - makes up for it by throwing "meaningful" shots

Last british fighter I didn't like was Lennox Lewis. I thought he was Klitchko-esque... i.e. a b***h. He never dug deep until Vitali (oddly enough) But it had nothing to do with him being British.

And, for the life of me, I can't figure out why I hate Amir Khan. He fought like a weanie against Kotelnik.. And aside from Prescott, that's the only fight I've seen. I do respect that he is taking a slightly faster road to World Champ than the guys who want to pad their record at least.

I dont really like Khan but i like watching his fights dont care if he wins but anything can happen with him he can look classy but he can get caught and knocked down.
