Shane Mosley lost to Artur Grigorian in the amateurs I guess that means he wasn't on Artur's level ::**
Tyson lost to Henry Tillman so I guess that means that Tillman went on to become the greatest Heavyweight there ever was.
Oh wait...didn't they fight after the douglas fight? Yeah Tillman did real good ;D
Too true, the amateurs are irrelevant when talking boxing. PRO boxing....Its a whole different ballgame...
Re: According to BoxRec Jeff Lacy will be fighting vs.....
Rather then see Lacy win via power punches (hooks) I would much rather see him win some rounds by boxing and moving. As I stated before I know he can punch and all that, now I want to see a different style at least I wanna see that during this training he worked on other aspects of the game.....

I don't know if he'll ever really be a boxer mover but he could definitely refine his style. Jab his way in, straighten up the right hand, he throws the uppercuts and hooks pretty well but straighten the right hand and focus on the jab. Also focus more on bodywork. For a guy with an inside fighters build, he's not the greatest in fighter, needs to keep his hands up on the inside (look at the Ruben Williams fight, left hand down by his waist on the inside, not good), and rip to the body. But jab your way in and throw some straight rights from the outside.

Probably true, but imo if a fighter is stopped in the amatuers it is a bigger indicator of things to come in the pros... Like those other ones you bring up,Tyson was robbed against Tillman who basically just ran his ass of. MOsley probably didn't get stopped by Grigorian.. And was very young as an amatuer.. I don't know enough about Lacy's amatuer career but he didn't even turn pro until he was 24 or 25. If he was stopped multiple times against good amatuer fighters even though he was over 20.. It really does have a bearing imo.
Re: According to BoxRec Jeff Lacy will be fighting vs.....
Was he stopped as in KO'd or was he stopped as in the other guy built up a points lead (I think its 20) to where they stop the fight
Doubt he was literally stopped as in he couldn't continue.

I think the jab & straightening out the right hand instead of looping it are the key things he should have worked on.....
