Oh no doubt they did a great job building up Jeff Lacy who was greatly outclassed, I saw Lacy fight before the Calzaghe fight and he did look very durable, but the style match up didn't work and Lacy just couldn't handle Calzaghe's speed. I never said the American fighters were exempt from hype, obviously we've had our fair share, but never like England has every young contender from England is the next greatest fighter of all time.....you guys do have very supportive fans, but they can also be quite delusional as well.

This fight last night just boggles my mind, I've never seen such a farce in boxing, just God awful.

That thread was proof of it. Look at how many Haye supporters call Wlad a coward.
