Kessler, Miranda or Lacy?
??? Not sure what the question is. Explain please & I'll be happy 2 give my opinion..
Kessler doesn't really have a lot of hype about him. I mean he's pretty much judged as what he is. He's a very good fighter who some feel can beat Calzaghe while others don't. He's not really heralded as a world beater and there aren't any sort of major US dollars behind him, I mean he's having difficulty landing a network right now. I would say he is even underhyped as far as that goes.
Lacy has some skill, he was supposed to be America's next big boxing star, was in a Super Bowl commercial and everything and I think it was a lot of wishful thinking with the style. I still think he will be a champion one day, I definitely don't think he's peaked and even if he has, he had a good run going.
Miranda is a bit of the same way, except I think Lacy is a much better fighter. Not quite the accomplishments of Lacy but he can pick it up too. But he was overhyped in the way of people saying that he was the most ducked boxer in boxing. Far from it and he had it put to him.
Who is the most overrated fighter since year 2000?Quote:

I'm not a big ambassador of the word "overrated" but of the three IMO Kessler & Lacy are at a higher level than Miranda at this point.
Who would win Kesser against Lacy?Quote:

1) VERNON FORREST BABY!!!!!
There was no train, he was established, and in everybody's top ten.... now we all don't want to see him fight. ;D
and with hbo on his back he had a future hall of fame fights ahead of his career.
2) Close second is Ricardo Mayorga...
I remember I thought he could beat Oscar way back when :lolhaha: go ahead and laugh at me.
And your choices are pretty stupid.... why's Kessler in there, he's hasn't lost yet?
Once he losses and then continues to lose... we can say he was overrated... but he looks good.
And Lacy and Miranda haven't left the boxing planet.
I beleive that Lacy has the tools to beat Kessler if he fought the right fight. But if the Lacy that fought Joe (1 dimensional/straight ahead) showed up I take Kessler to win somewhere btween 8-10 out of 12 rds.Quote:

None of them are overrated..
Lacy is just young and got beat by a better fighter
Miranda the same.. He didnt look right in that fight anyway not like he has before.. All props to the ghost though..
And Kessler..Are you kidding me.. Like hes somehow been exposed.. Hes undefeated and still doesnt get the credit he should.. ::**
I really never liked using/hearing the word "overrated". :goodpost:
Yo Amat, do you think Lacy has a better resume than Pantera?
Yeah I do. It's kind of difficult current fighters, but I think he does no question. Not going to go into to much detail but Lacy had 6 title fights and lost one to a great fighter. And Lacy's record goes a lot deeper, I mean he was brought up really fast, the first 2000 Olympian to win a title in the pro ranks.Quote:

He did have a loss to Ottke but that was about the most crooked fight of all time, he got penalized for punching Ottke. Not joking about that one.
So yeah I think there is little doubt that Lacy has a more stacked resume. It's not going to blow anyone away on paper but definitely outmerits Miranda's. He did catch a lot of fighters on the tail end but they were still good.
I think a closer comparision would be Kessler - Lacy. Kessler has had the benefit of staying active so I definitely think he takes it now but around the time of late 2005 it was close.
At least kessler and miranda fight good fighters Lacy has fought 1 in calzaghe and then fades away , hes a limited bum !!!!!!!!!!
