Lacy might not have been a mini-Tyson or whatever he was hyped as bein, but he was budding as a damn good fighter. The fight wit Joe C was supposed to make it official that his time had arrived. Instead he got one of the worst ass whoopins ever. No doubt that fight changed Lacy's career for the worse, mentally and physically. A pre Joe C Lacy woulda whomped Tsypko, Manfredo, and Espinoza.

Did Joe Calzaghe ruin Jeff Lacy or was he nothing special to begin with?

Lacy was always a Hype Job
Suffering a beating like that could'nt have done him any good, though

Besides, even if everyone felt that way...who cares? They were all wrong. So can you stop trying to pretend they were right so you can feel better? Jeff Lacy sucks. He was never more than decent before Calzaghe, he positively sucks now.
