Well...it sure looked that way to me. Lacy made Manfredo look like a world beater and almost lost. He looked terrible. Did you even see the fight?Quote:

I agree, he has plenty of skill, and there is no huge gap, except for inactivity.. Jeff has Winky to spar and work with whenever he wants, and I like to think He's been in the gym training this whole time..Quote:

It looked like he picked up with round 13 of the Calzaghe fight were he was slow off balance and slow to pull the trigger, he would load up with a hook and then step in and do nothing.. Scary, scary!!! Usually Jeff is like a relenless pitbull, full of energy and strength.. against Manfredo he was flat out of the gate

My bottom line with Lacy is that I think Calzaghe beat the fire out of him. I can respect the fact that he fought on against Tsypko (sp.?) with a torn rotator cuff, but he looked sluggish from the opening bell. He didn't look impressive at all against Manfredo either, he clearly won IMO, but did nothing for me to think he could be a title contender anymore. The thing with Lacy was his power...will his injury ever be fully healed? Well maybe, maybe not it sure would spell trouble for his future in boxing.
There are a lot of fundamental flaws in Lacy's movement as well, I wouldn't give him a chance in hell against Kessler, Bute or even Andrade at this point. I really need to see something more from him.
Sure thing Pal :highfive:Quote:

For some reason I thought you were a Manfredo fan in that first post saying he was a world beater, took it a bit to literally like you said.
Yea smartass I have seen ALL of Lacys fights the last 4 years I saw Manfredo get put on his ass and then fighting a pussy fight the rest of the way... It takes 2 to make a fight, Manfredo fought scared the remainder of the fight.. FACTQuote:

LOL!! It's cool man, never thought much of Manfredo either. CAn you imagine what Lacy would have done to him pre- Calzaghe?
Tarver by UD in what shouldn't be much of a fight
Well get some new glasses then...shit talker.Quote:

Some of you guys are saying Taylor, some are saying Tarver.
I just noticed that. I remember Tarver-Lacy was discussed. For some reason I think that's what they were talking about. Anyway I think Taylor beats LacyQuote:
