Do you really think Calzaghe fought Lacy on the back foot

I havent seen the fight for a couple of years now but im pretty certain Calzaghe took the fight to him 95% of the fight.
From what i recall he did especially early in the fight.

He used his superior footwork to have Lacy come to him and then peppered him with combos then moved out.

I'm sure as the fight went on Calzaghe did start pressing forward.
I think he was too fast for Lacy, but he was off balance with his footwork and I found it pretty sloppy in that fight, and Calzaghe brought the fight in terms of punches to Lacy, but physically Lacy was the one coming forward for most of it.
