He is very very average - look at his fights against Thompson, Sheika, Syd and Tsypko. Nothing special.
How do you keep coming back Royal :-\

I don't feel judging him by the Typsko fight really results in a fair assessment due to the injury.
I don't want to sound as tho im offering excuses for Lacy, but the fighters you have mentioned are guys who were really sandbagging trying to make him look awkward, (particularily Sheika.)
Against Calzaghe he was made to look limited, butr Calzaghe is the best guy in the division he makes anyone look limited. I feel Lacy is a good fighter who, should he work on skills and mobility has the potential still to be great.
He has both one of the best hearts and chins in boxing today

Eat a big fat piece of dookey, Royal :fyou: Lacy has beaten and mowed over every one except Calzaghe and had trouble with Tyspko because of a torn cuff, you idiot  ::**

Take cc # 3. I still think Lacy is done. I remember Dwight Gooden losing his blazing fastball cuz of a torn cuff. If Lacy loses his power cuz of it, than he's nothing more than a journeyman. And even a garbage fighter like Manfredo can still beat a journeyman.

Have we established that actually was Royal???

Admired him early, thought he was really good, after Calzaghe fight i met him, thought he was dead-on real nice guy, my mate met him at a training camp a couplke months ago, same opinion, real nice guy. He lives the sport too, always in shape and always bein healthy.
Re: Jeff lacy vs peter manfredo in the works.
I kind of keep going back & forth on this Lacy Manfredo thing being a worthy fight on the comeback trail.
Think about...it's really not. Try to fight someone that's actually legitly ranked. While I am sure that Manfredo is up there...he sure as shit aint legit.
Froch, Andrade, Bute, or even Green would be the better choices...hell even Bika.
Manfredo? Not so hot.
Re: Jeff lacy vs peter manfredo in the works.
A safe bet....no risk of an injury and a decent amount of exposure.

We wouldn't even be talking about Manfredo if he wasn't on Contender Lacy will beat Manfedo but will it prove anything really ??

from a public perspective it will, Jeff needed a great outing after Calzaghe then he got injured and most people wrote him off while not considering the injury. So now if he carves up Petey it kind of gets him back on track

It's kind of an open ended answer. Yes a blowout would be impressive...a 12 round ug-out would not.
Re: Jeff lacy vs peter manfredo in the works.
Doubting Manfredo lasts twelve with Jeff.
