He needs to spaw offensive fighters and stay in his shell in sparring to improve his defence... not winky wright.
Well he also has Chad Dawson in his stable who is an offensive southpaw. But I think it's more of the writers dwelling on Wright then he and his camp are.
Actually Winky Wright is the only fighter he mentioned in the retooling process .

Anyone notice who posted this? Seems to be some spelling and grammar errors. Is the writer of this story not so good with English or is the poster
ROYAL and made a few 'minor' changes to the article? :detective:
See my above post . I don't know what the hell happened in the translation process . My editor lives in Australia so the back and forth process is a problem . The version I sent did not have the problems this one did . You win some , you lose some .

Maybe he would but I think it's legit. He was out of his element, you could see it just on his ring walk and after round 1. He wasn't ready for a fight that big. He didn't really discredit him, he said it was an excellent performance but...I'm sure he was telling the truth. I mean it's a lot easier to say he got beat by a better man then say that he blew it and it was on him. I have thought from the night of the fight on that it was as much of a Lacy loss then it was a Calzaghe win. Still it was a masterful performance.
To be honest I dont really see him saying " I was beaten by the better man". He said he could have been beaten by any man. Thats a small token of respect.
I wanna see Jeff do well, but to say any man could have beaten him that night does not bode well for the future....he needs to solve that defence..,.
Agree on the defence. But when he says any man could have beaten him, I think he was alluding to him being burnt out. It was his first ever big fight and...he just wasn't ready. Oh well, he'll be back and I think he'll get another fight with Calzaghe somewhere down the line and I still think he beats Calzaghe. Call me dellusional but Calzaghe fought Lacy's fight on the inside last time. It was just that Lacy was nothing more then a punching bag standing in front of him. Won't be the same a second time. Of course he needs 4 or 5 fights before a Calzaghe rematch is even discussed but I think it will happen.
I hope there is a rematch in the future. And though I will be supporting Lacy all the way in his comeback. When it comes to a fight with Joe, you know where I will display my loyalties.
I think Lacy can rule the division, but a victory over Calzaghe will not play a part in it...
And you know where my loyalty lies ;)
Kind of wierd that we say one of the most lopsided 12 round shut outs in the history of boxing and we're talking about a rematch ;D
Every fighter deserves a shot at the man who gave them their first loss in my opinion .
Re: Jeff Lacy: “I am coming back to dominate”
I lkie the fact that Lacy wanted to comeback after his first loss against guys like Tarver & Green, I hope when he does get back in the ring it's against some of the same top opposition. By fighting & beating some of the top guys he can work his way into contention for a rematch with Calzaghe. I'd love to see him fight guys like Mundine, Kessler or Andrade.
Re: Jeff Lacy: “I am coming back to dominate”
lacy will dominate if he gets his mind right but 200lbs,ddddaaammmmnnn

You won't get him to elaborate. Just be thankful that he isn't on this forum nearly as much as a couple others.
Re: Jeff Lacy: “I am coming back to dominate”
While I agree that Lacy is a talented fighter and has skills, I don't fully go along with this "he's humble and doesn't believe the hype" idea that people are putting about.
Just go back to the disrespect he was showing JC in arranging the fight, and I particularly remember an interview he did in England in the run up to the fight when he slated JC and mage comment's about how Joe was scared, and slapped and how he was going to destroy him and that there was no possible way that Joe was going to win. I'm not a huge JC fan, but I have seen all his fights and while I gave Lacy a good chance, he quite clearly was under-rating him and not taking him seriuosly at all.
That fight did totally turn around my opinion about JC, but I still believe that he has not made full use of the talent that he has show he has.
Its all very well Lacy talking about his problems before the fight, and in the run up, and how he had no energy, and how it was as though JC was fighting a handicap, and how he beat himself, and still out of all that it was great because for 12 rounds JC couldn't stop him!!!!
How disrespectful is that.
Joe fought an intellegent fight and backed up everything he said in the run up. During the fight he didn't run at all and opened up a lot. Later on he even was show-boating. He had Lacy in trouble a few times at the end of the fight, and more than a few people (myself inc.) were calling for the fight to be stopped. Jeff and his fans need to watch his pre-fight interviews and the fight again and look at what happened. It was by far one of the most one-sided fights around. If Lacy wasn't such a big name, Joe would have been critisized for fighting a "bum". No matter what Jeff trains for, you can't beat speed. Its a natural quality. What possible grounds/ evidence does any of Lacy's fans have for saying that he will win a rematch?
