Jeff Lacy: This Is Not A Comeback!
Jeff Lacy: This Is Not A Comeback!
October 24, 2006

Jeff “Left Hook” Lacy wasn’t the only boxer at the Wright vs. Quartey press conference, but he surely drew the most attention. The conference was held to promote fellow St. Petersburg boxer, Winky Wright, in his next fight with Ike Quartey, but the talk of the conference was Lacy’s big comeback. Lacy looked ready to get back into the ring. An opponent has yet to be named for the St. Petersburg, Florida warrior, but Lacy feels he’s ready to face any challenge. When the bell rings on December 2nd, 2006, it will have been 9 months since he lost his title to undefeated champion, Joe Calzaghe. Now it appears he is more than eager to prove he is still a champion.
“This is not a comeback,” Antonio Leonard, Lacy’s manager, said. “We’re just back. We’re bringing the pain. We’re going to do everything but kill the guy in front of Jeff.”
Oscar De La Hoya had his fair share of comments about Lacy as well. “As a fighter I know where Jeff Lacy is coming from. We want to take that next step to become a great,” De La Hoya said of Lacy’s trip to England to fight Calzaghe. “We don’t always accomplish our goals, but we learn and keep our heads high. We all can have bad nights. We know the talent [Lacy] has. He says he’s back… He was never gone.”
Even Wright spoke of Lacy, “as a kid he came into the gym looking to knock out everybody. Lacy opened the gate for the Tampa Bay fighters. Having Jeff on the same card as me is a dream of mine.”
The buzz around Lacy further proves the drawing power he possesses. His brawn and strong offensive style has won him fans all over the world. Lacy could again find himself stealing the show as an electrifying undercard. Lacy stated, “I think people are going to be curious to see what I have learned form my last fight, and what I’ll be bringing to my next fight. I felt like I had a burn, a strong desire inside of me before, but now that I’ve lost it doesn’t compare to what I had before! I did a lot of things that I didn’t think would work against me in my last fight. I learned. You live and you learn. I hope Joe Calzaghe will have the heart to give me another shot at the title as I would have done for him. Everyone can have a bad night.”
Lacy will need an explosive win in his December bout in order to convince the boxing community that his loss to Calazaghe was just a bad night. When the former IBF super middleweight champion was asked if he was scared he had lost popularity or if a second loss would put him too far down to be the champion he strives for, he explained, “I don’t think I’m down. I honestly know I just had a bad night. I can still fight! I’m going to pick up right where I left off.”
Fans and critics alike will get their answers on December 2nd, 2006. HBO will air Lacy’s return to the ring along with the main event of the evening – Winky Wright vs. Ike Quartely. For those lucky enough to live in the Tampa Bay area, tickets for the event, to be held in the St. Pete Times Forum, are already on sale at all Ticketmaster outlets. As an added treat, the untelevised portion of the event is being promoted by Tampa’s One Punch Productions – headed by Terry Trekas. Many of the area’s young and talented boxers will be on display for those in attendance.
I like his motivation...& his attitude.
Back before the Calzaghe Lacy fight...some of you will remember that I said that Joe had what it took to give Lacy issues & that everyone was underestimating him...but I also said that Lacy probably had the power to stop Joe & that this was going to be one hell of a fight...
In the end...two things I said came true.
#1: That was one hell of a fight & #2: Joe's movement & speed wreaked havoc on the lack of defense that Lacy had.
Now...here...with this poll...I just voted that I aint got a clue.
I want Lacy to come back...because in the end...the guy brought a lot to the table for the fans & a lot of exposure to the sport...
But I really think that the beating he took was career damaging.

Re: Jeff Lacy: This Is Not A Comeback!
I wish him good luck. Hopefully he gets the chance to go against Tarver. I would love to see him remove Antonios head from his shoulders. ;D

Yep. Wouldn't we all? ;)

Re: Jeff Lacy: This Is Not A Comeback!
We just need to see him in the ring. He is talking a good game but thats all it is talk. I've said before that I think Lacy will be OK. He got soundly beaten last time by the better man and he knows it, I think it started to sink in long before the final bell.
It'll no doubt take him a few rounds (depending on calibre of opponant) to blow the cobwebs off but I see him coming back fine.
The acid test would really come if he faced Calzaghe again but I very much doubt Calzaghe has the time or need to do that agin.

Re: Jeff Lacy: This Is Not A Comeback!
He'll be back with greatness if by "greatness" you mean he'll win a couple titles and only have trouble with top tier guys.
Lacy needs some bug fights to be "great"...I see Taylor, Kessler, and maybe Woods in his future

Yea, but I wouldn't favour Lacy in that fight by any means whatsoever.. He's not going to slip Tarvers best shots like Hopkins did, and Antonio does hit harder than Calzaghe. If Lacy is indeed damaged from that fight I think Tarver could really hurt him.

Re: Jeff Lacy: This Is Not A Comeback!
i think jeff would thrash tarver and become a champion again. but after calzaghe has retired and relinquished all four titles (thats me assuming he'l beat kessler to unify and retire undefeated)

I think most fighters would have beaten the Tarver that showed up against Hopkins to be honest. Not to take away from B-Hop who fought to a perfect gameplan but Tarver just had an absolute stinker. He looked like Danny Williams in there, just a dead man inside with totally lifeless eyes.
I think the weight loss drained him far more than he thought it would, a kind of irony considering thats the only reason Roy struggled with him.
I just contend that it's impossible to lose 40 or 50 pounds of lean muscle mass and not be radically weakened. This isn't burning fat, this is attempting to lose 20 % of a healthy body, just not good for ya.

Why will Lacy and his stupid managers never change and become gentlemen of Boxing? They could learn from Mikkel Kessler and Marcus Beyer - two champs with respect to their opponents and to the sport. No stupid BS talking. So typical US >:mad

Ha ha ha ha ha. Hillarious.
The last option was put in place for you Royal. "I either just don't care...or I'm a hater."
Hope you voted. ;D
Knew you'd have to show your true colors on this thread. Good post.
Burn U.S. burn, right?

Re: Jeff Lacy: This Is Not A Comeback!
I think he'll be back... Not to greatness... I never really gave him a shot at greatness.
But boxing could do with Lacy being back.
Its a shame that the this, after one loss, is regarded as a comeback.... Especially at his age :-\
BTW, the comments Antonio Leonard's comments suck. Not the kinda image you wanna promote for your fighter when his just been totally E-masculated.
Why so brash?

We do use our best athletes in other sports. Why go into a sport that can leave you badly damaged afterwards and likely earn a lot less money doing so? Most gifted athletes are in Football and basketball. You know how big of a beast Shaq would've been if he decided to become a boxer?
Also, you are a ignorant, misinformed and simple-minded person. Every post you make I find new forms of biased-stupidy that I never knew existed.

Re: Jeff Lacy: This Is Not A Comeback!
Jeff wil be fine......He has all the physical tools, as well as courage heart and a warriors mentality....You can be taught to be a better defenseman and to throw a jab or move your head..
You can't teach heart, courage and the will to keep on pushing forward...Jeff was born with these qualities..The other things he can be taught and he will succeed and be great ;)

Sheridan:
U.S. fails again
Team USA lost because it keeps changing its roster, never developing the chemistry and familiarity that the best international teams have developed
Dasaam, i plead with you not to entertain this argument anylonger....
This is complete spam. And its just horrible :-X
OK Royal, your right! Kessler will be king. All Americans are weak and feable minded. Now go away. No one wants to hear your mindless drivel

Ha ha ha ha ha. Hillarious.
The last option was put in place for you Royal. "I either just don't care...or I'm a hater."
Hope you voted. ;D
Knew you'd have to show your true colors on this thread. Good post.
Burn U.S. burn, right?
Glad everyone here enjoyed my article.
Jeff Lacy IS one of the gentlemen of boxing. He's a nice guy and always a joy to be around. Boxing need 100 Jeff Lacys. I never understood why people don't like Lacy. He's exciting, the ladies find him attractive, he's well spoken and always seeks to fight the best.

Re: Jeff Lacy: This Is Not A Comeback!
It is a comeback if you get beat like he did. It's truly Lacy's own fault for losing that fight imo. He's not invincible and he learned it. He will be back but that aura is gone, hopefully that motivates him to be better.

Re: Jeff Lacy: This Is Not A Comeback!
He will bounce back, and hold 2-3 MAYBE the 4 titales b4 he retires, he beats kessler and everyone else at SMw (ba Joe atm) Taylor would be his biggest trouble, but if Taylor steps up, it will be to fight joe, and i don't see him beating joe at SMW so i think taylor will move and stay back at 160 leaving 168 for lacys taking.... hes got great power, brilliant heart, damn good chin i would think too, and he does know how ot box, just needs to put it all together... gl luck to young jeff from Florida;)

Re: Jeff Lacy: This Is Not A Comeback!
Who cares about a wannabe boxer like Jeff ”no boxing-skills” Lacy, who even cheated himself to the Olympics?

Re: Jeff Lacy: This Is Not A Comeback!
Every single time he fought a sub-top boxer Lacy has struggled big time!
Against Ross Thompson he was almost KOed and looked very shaky.
Omar had deserved a draw against Lacy, who he rocked a few times – but when Sheika went to Europe and fought Beyer he got schooled like a boy – Marcus could school Omar in every single round, so do not pretend that Lacy “no skills at all” would be better against a decent European guy unless his over the hill and unless Lacy gets all the ref helps he normally gets – he was gifted in the Syd fight (VERY VERY premature stoppage), in the Hollywood fight (also very very prematre stoppage), in the Robin Reid fight indeed ( I have in 20 years NEVER seen a ref helping one of the boxers more that he did Lacy in that fight) and even in the Calzaghe fight he brought his own ref from the US, who help him not being stopped in 12th round against Joe…
Do not expect much from Joe in Future if he fights EU guys – but if he continues to fight American SMW, then he would look good until the first time he faces a top EU guy.
Like it or not but Lacy is only to compete at American level – he get beats every time he takes on top EU Dogs :-D
