I can't help but recalling the endless number of times I heard Peter Manfredo Jr. dis Jeff Lacy before Peter's fight with Calzaghe.
Any one want to see Jeff Lacy beat up Manfredo for running his mouth wreckless?
I do.
Who is with me?
;D

The only guy, I ever saw Lacy beat easily, was old Scott Pemberton - but so did Manfredo.
I would go with Lacy by 55-45 but would not be surprised if small Peter outboxed Lacy.
I wouldn't even call it a tuneup fight for Lacy. Mandfredo showed us that his feet don't know how to get away from punches. It's no surprise if Lacy'd knock him out.
What has Lacy showed you since you are so sure of him?Quote:

I can imagine Manfredo trying to keep away from Lacy's big left hooks and still eat enough them for him to hit the canvas.

I think Andrade vs Lacy would be a far better fight... They are both rock solid, though technically very flawed, it would be a war. Manfredo couldn't hand with either imo.Quote:

Peter dosent have enough power to keep Lacy off of him... Lacy TKO rd 4-5
I think it'd be worth watching. Andrada can take a punch without making Lacy look like an amateur.Quote:

He's far too small to be a middle weight and he hasn't got much speed either. I think Lacy would do peter inside 3.
I agree. Manfredo don't have the feet to stay away from punches, and I don't see how it'd be any different against Lacy.
It's funny how people are ready to write Lacy off after losing to a hall of fame champion with 17 defenses of his belt. It's not like Lacy lost to a bum. He'd kill Manfredo; anyone without the ability to dip and dodge stands no chance against Lacy. He's a bullet train that so far only Calzaghe has been able to dance on his tracks without getting run down.
And Calzaghe has power? Where?Quote:

FFS Lacy is the guy that was being labelled the 2nd coming, is it that hard for people to actually think that he just got beat by a great fighter - and so badly beat that he may never recover :-\
Can't believe how many people have turned there back on the guy. Look at the Lacy that destroyed Robin Reid - a man who would not have been koed by a kick from ah orse. Lacy had the world at his feet and could've been awesome!! He just fought JC too early (JC was world champion for 4 years before Lacy even turned pro!!!!)
He would still destroy Manfredo easily, even on his worst night and Manfredos best!!
Agreed... The only problem was that Lacy beat the shat out of everyone they put in front of him, and he proved his meddle and earned his shot at the big time.. Its just one of those things I guess :-\Quote:

Lacy vs. Manfredo Jr. would be a better fight than most expect... If Lacy doesn't flatten him in the first few rounds. The fact of the matter is that Lacy is over rated big time. He is slow in there. He doesn't get his punches, however hard, off first or quickly. He was in tough fights with a number of lesser guys - Omar Sheika, Syd Vanderpool, and Donnell Wiggins come to mind. I was really surprised the way he whipped Robin Reid though. I thought Reid was a very live underdog that night, and he got his ass kicked. Was Reid that shot? Did he just get caught early? Lacy was lucky to beat Tsypko last fight as well... Manfredo punches quickly as well... It's too bad he didn't remember to do that against Calzaghe -punch that is. It would be hard to back Manfredo after that performance... Manfredo would be a live dog, like Reid I guess, but in the end he would probably take it on the chin... KO6 Lacy - with scorecards even.
Have to agree with ya. He's still Jeff Lacy, his right hand or left hook would rock Manfredo badly. He wouldn't need a BS stoppage to stop Peter either.Quote:

CC Big H great post.

Just a little advise to everyone knocking Manfredo!! If you will recall he has never been knocked down. Also, against Joe C. he never got hit with any good shots. Even all of the experts know that that was stopped when it shouldnt have been. And, if you watch the fight again, you will see that in the first 2 rounds Manfredo did catch Joe with shots that stunned him. Also, when Manfredo is training with his father is much less of a fighter than he is when training with Freddie Roach. Every fight he has had with Roach in his corner he has(or should have,ie. second fight with Mora) won. I think it will be a good fight as long as Manfredo is training with Freddie. If Freddie is in the corner then Manfredo will win the fight!!!
Sure he will :thumb:  ::**  I can appreciate your optimism but Petey dosent have one thing over on JeffQuote:

But joking aside Jeff will own lacy.....Even if Manfredo decently outboxes him for 2 rounds Jeff will just out muscle him.

I hope and think Jeff will beat Manfraudo so bad he actually straightens that dudes teeth out; save him the money for a dentist. Please get this Peter kid a train ticket to somewhere else. :-*
The Manfredo hate is apparent here.
While I don't think Manfredo would win this fight, I certainly think it would be a decent tearup. Manfredo is a solid fighter. He's not a worldbeater, but he's certainly not a bum. He doesn't have any one super strength but he's decent all around.
The J.C. fight was an abortion and Peter got robbed of at least giving a decent fight. I don't think he would have won, but the stoppage was garbage. Manfredo would have won some respect if that fight wouldn't have been stopped from a flurry of missed punches. Again I think Lacy would beat Peter, but it will be a respectable fight. I really grow tired of the "contender's not real boxing" b.s. Those guys were fighters before, and are fighters now, it's like a glorified Friday Night Fights. It's not like they were actors chosen to learn to box. They were and are ham and eggers that got an opportunity for a big payday. I still wonder how everyone confuses the title "contender" with "greatest fighter ever"?????
The title of the show says it all and everyone thinks they should be all time greats.
Manfredo UD an it's gonna happen ;D
That go's without question ;DQuote:

Both fighters are coming off some kind of surgery. Both were served a can of whoop @ss by Joe Calzaghe. Both beat the snot out of Scott Pemberton. Both have been marked as over-rated. I still have to think Jeff Lacy is the better man. Peter was struggling against a green, rookie fighter in David Banks. Peter was also beat up by a twig with no power twice on the Contender and he was also beat by a little dude who was fighting about 3 weight classes above his own. If Lacy can't get past Manfredo, Lacy should hang his gloves up. Lacy should beat Manfredo. How can he not?
Not a fight i would choose for peter
