Thread: Jeff Lacy reluctant to fight Allan Green:may face Spina next

Ex-super middleweight titlist Jeff Lacy (23-1, 17 KOs) is reluctant to face Allan Green (26-1, 18 KOs) in a bout Lacy promoter Golden Boy wanted to make for the May 31 Shane Mosley-Zab Judah undercard, so Lacy might face club fighter Joe Spina (22-1-1, 15 KOs), Golden Boy's Eric Gomez told ESPN.com. Spina's loss was a third-round knockout to Peter Manfredo, whom Lacy struggled to beat in his last fight. Green, however, wants to fight Lacy and Golden Boy would make the fight in a heartbeat if Lacy was willing. "If Jeff Lacy wasn't scared we would be fighting May 31. It would already be announced," Green said. "Just like we should have fought when he called me out the last time and I accepted. If you wanna be a fighter then let's fight. If you wanna be a punk then go play ping pong."

Play ping-pong? lol...Do we think Lacy will ever get back in the mix.I dont

Lacy knows himself he is shot and shit like I do.

Facing Joe Spina Lacy beat Manfredo, Manfredo KO'd Spina in 3, pathetic.

What a joke matchup, next thing Lacy will be appearing on the Contender.

I laughed my a$$ off yesterday when I read this. This is a joke of a fight. Spina sucks. Hell, just a few weeks ago he was downgraded to a 6 round fight.

Did Calzaghe ruin Lacy; or is Lacy just not physically 100% anymore? Spina, lol. Talk about climbing back into the mix using baby steps

Alan Green shouldn't be too hard on other people though, as he has developed some sort of foot fetish with himself. Lacy could win if he timed Alan's footsie fantasizing.

I'm telling you guys there is more to this, guaranteed!!!!! watch and wait on this shiit gets contorted in the media daily, we all know it but we believe it anyway... We know Jeff isint 100% with his shoulder, people say he was shot and all that other shiit but the 1st few rounds against Tyspko has Lacy putting down the hammer on him till he injured his shoulder so I wouldnt be so quick to write him off just yet...

Spina got a gift decision against a 6-5 fighter two fights ago and barely got by his last fight. Lacy needs to fight someone on his level maybe a Manfredo rematch.

It is a bit of both Lacy was nowhere near as good as he was made out to be, but Calzaghe also ruined Lacy and also the injuries are ruining Lacy at this point as well. Lacy wants a confident booster he has been struggling badly recently so if he can KO the tomato can Spina in good fashion it might give him a confidence boost which he needs.

I'm willing to give Jeff the benefit of the doubt. I know what it's like for a fighter to come back from an injury and look rusty. I'm not going to write him off just yet. Another tune up and a big fight after that is fine by me,then we can say whether he is shot or not. A year out and a devestating injury can affect a fighter to the point that they look like crap even v Manfredo¬¬

It' a very winnable fight for Lacy, but if he's not at his best then another tune up would be wise. Buy not against Spina. A Manfredo rematch would have been better for the undercard

This is bullshit. Allan Green can't fight right now, he's on suspension! He isn't licensed to fight right now after the fight with Echols and that's the reason he is calling Lacy out now saying Lacy is reluctant. BS, Lacy just called out Tarver there is no way he is scared of Allan Green, all it would take for Lacy to win would be to wear some nice Jordan shoes because that seems to be what Allan Green cares about in the ring.

**Actually Green is only on suspension by Louisiana but still, he still pulled out of his last fight for no reason why would they set up a date with him. Green is garbage.

Lacy's done! He almost lost to MAnfredo for crying out loud!

Your on your own homie. Lacy is done. Green would embarrass him. And Lacy knows it
