Oh yeah he'll still get dogged.  People don't even think he belongs in the top 20 which is crazy...  It can go either way but it will be a close dec.
I know. He shouldn't have been in with Calzaghe, because he's not in the same class. Even though he was pulled out early, he took it on the chin and came back to have 2 more fights in 2 months. He didn't bitch or moan about being hard done by. I respect his character because doesn't get disheartened by his setbacks, as many boxers do.
Well ultimatly he knows he was in over his head.  as a fan I'm glad that didn't go deeper.  I don't like to watch fighters get embarassed...  I think he belongs about 13-15 in the SMW div.  The way he's talked about around hear you'd think he was a garbage fighter with no skill or power.  I think he is a B level fghter but I don't give Lacy anymore then that either.  People think he's gonna come off this shoulder surgery and be able to throw it with rediculous conviction and all of a sudden be able to box like sweet pea...  Stop it.  Manfredo is 3 years younger then Lacy and he has more ring experience.
Everyone picking Lacy is just starnge.  I understand he is a former world champ but look at both their records.  Show me all the rediculously fantastic fighters on his record that KO'd with his "power". 
Lacy KO s 75% of his opponants and Manfredo 50%.
Manfredo has 179 pro rounds and Lacy has 122
Manfredo never been down or KO'd
I don't see where this is the mismatch people are making it!
