I know its been mentioned before but I reckon this would a good fight for both to take.
I know Kessler is busy at the moment but Lacy needs a fight to redeem himself and Kessler would certainly raise his profile with a victory over Lacy.
any chance of it happening?
Id love to see it anyway
I DEFINITELY want to see this fight happen in the near future because I really do think Lacy would win and this would be a fight that would boost him back to elite status.
I think it is a little too much for Lacy to have a comeback against a force like Kessler. Such a fight would end Lacy’s career.
I agree...I think Lacy fought Calzaghe about 3 fights too soon and was overwhelmed....Kessler is a prime target for Lacy....Quote:

No way Lacy wins against a boxer like Kessler IMO, not now anyway, he was shown up fro all his short comings, and you dont want to be mixing it with a big boxer puncher like Kessler who could keep Lacy off for 12 rnds.Quote:

Lacy's workrate and power would definitely be an interesting test for Kessler's chin and stamina.
i second that....lacy is not to be underestimated, he was shown up by the best guy out there in calzaghe...Quote:

Lacy could not handle Calzaghe's psychic and was bullied around, so how the heck should he handles Kessler's ditto. Kessler is bigger, stronger and just as fast as Calzaghe. ???
Have you guys already forgotten that Lacy did worse against Calzaghe than midget Ashira Evans? ;D
You might favourite Lacy over Kessler, but you can be very sure that Gary Shaw is not looking Kessler’s side for Lacy’s next bout.

I don’t think he will ever make it to the top against today’s monster SMWs
Sorry, d-post
i recall that calzaghe beat evans ahira with a broken hand, but thats besides the point....Quote:

i just happen to think that on that night calzaghe was at his very best and that lacy didnt quite give the best account of himself either....
lacy wouldnt fight the same fight twice and i dont rate kessler as high as calzaghe....
a mentally ready lacy would be a challenge for most of the top guys in the division....
I think Lacy should fight Green. Beat him to boost his confidance some and then maybe see about getting in the ring with Kess. I havne't seen a single Kess fight but the way everyone talks on here and the articles I have read it sure sounds like he's pretty damn good. Does anyone have any kess fights I could take a look at?
