The fight has been talked about numerous times in the past, however it has never come to fruition. Super middleweight contender Allen Green does not wish to wait any longer and is offering his services on May 31st against Jeff Lacy, who is scheduled to be featured on that PPV card. "We got the call from your people asking if we wanted to fight, we said yes," said Green. "Now I am hearing you don't want the fight, it is sad you have done this to me again! You cant weasel your to a title shot without fighting someone. Every other super middleweight is booked, the only option is to fight me. Your promoter called us, they said they would call back and they haven't."Green is coming off a ten round decision win over Rubin Williams this past January. Lacy, 23-1, 17 KO's, is coming off a ten round win over former Contender star Peter Manfredo, Jr. "If Jeff Lacy wasn't scared we would be fighting May 31st, it would already be announced," said Green, 26-1, 18 KO's. "Just like we should have fought when he called me out the last time and I accepted. If you wanna be a fighter then lets fight. If you wanna be a punk then go play ping pong."

I think Lacy's finished. I feel he should have fought often after his comeback, every month with some tomato cans just to get back in the groove, cause he doesn't have many fights under his belt in total. Haven't seen much of Green, but I wouldn't be surprised to see someone thoroughly outbox Lacy again, he's gone backwards big time.

I know of Green, but the only footage I've seen of him was against Miranda where he wasn't impressive, but I think he just wasn't well for that one.

Lacy was truly awful against Manfredo, he couldn't move his feet at all. If he could find some form this has the makings of a good fight.

Green was plenty competitive against Miranda, he even knocked him down, but like you said he was not well for that one (extremely) yet he still finished the fight on his feet, Lacy is done, he reminds me so much of David Reid, when Reid got destroyed they say his career finished because of his eye, when Lacy got destroyed they say it's because of his shoulder. Reality check it's because they got destroyed

lacy looks finished, allan green should knock him out

You guys are on Fukin drugs, Lacy would get knocked out Last time I checked Allan Green was the one who showed no balls or heart against a puncher in Miranda, Green showed he was lacking the testicular fortitude..

Lacy has grit, heart and tremendous courage and has never been stopped a lesser fighter would of packed it it against Calzaghe as well as when he tore his rotator cuff in the 2nd round against Tyspko, Lacy finished that fight with one freakin arm and went 8 rounds for chrise sakes and Tyspko still couldnt stop Lacy....

Not to mention Lacy is a GBP fighter and I'm sure there is more to this than Allan Fukin Green shooting his bitch ass mouth off, he probably has something in the shoot dont forget he can easily campaign at 175, so relax already

Sometimes I wonder if you guys no how to evaluate a fighter and his circumstances.....

I agree with JT even though i don't rate Lacy much, his chin, heart, and determination are second to none. But lets remember here JT that Green was over cautious against Miranda because Miranda was one of the most feared fighters at that time, Lacy hasn't got that aura about him anymore after his poor showings in his last few fights, so i doubt Green will be intimidated by Lacy as he was against Miranda.

Lacy at the least should take the fight and see if green even shows up........if he does i'd have to take green to win.
