I guess that we all saw that Lacy was like 280 divisions like below Calzaghe and the other top SMWs - why are people stil thinking that he has a chance against the likes of Kessler?
Kessler would stop him within 3-4 rounds if he had the chance ;D

Come on, Lacy is still young and he can now use a couple of fights to work on his fundamentals. If Birmingham improves his defense and helps Lacy DEVELOP A FUCKING JAB then Lacy can turn it around. Lacy has to know that following someone around the ring without doing anything a la Corrales -Mayweather & Trinidad - Hopkins hoping to land a big shot won't work against the top class in the division. He has to change his style a bit if he wants to be successful against great competition. Lacy is still Top 5 in the division though. You people are hugging JoeCals nuts so hard, it must be hard for him to breath.
Because he only got beat by the best in the world, you speak like Calzaghe's a bum.
I have found, you have to be careful, because if you try and swallow he is very chewy :)Quote:

I think Lacy could still be the best fight in the SMW once Calzaghe moves up... He was too focused on one punch at a time against a faster puncher which is suicide if the other guy is capable of hurting you... However I say that Lacy could perhaps beat Kessler who hasn't really foughten anyone himself.
I agree that Lacy is still rankable...but not over Kess...& yes...it's got to be due to the loss...but I think that Kess is going to surprise a lot more people than you think.Quote:

I could be wrong...because I have seen more of Kess than Beyer.
Again...I like Beyer...but I think that he might be past his best...even his better.
Calzaghe would probably starch Kess...easily Beyer.
I still say that all of the criticism & dropping of Lacy is wrong...he's still got what it takes...& he did just fight the best in the world...no matter what anyone says.
Kess is fighting William Joppy next.
...and IWO it will be a good fight that Kessler can learn from. Joppy thinks that he is reinvigorated from what I understand...but beating two bums (they are bums...as much as I hate to use that word...so let's say washed up fighters like himself) is not beating one of the stronger 168'ers out there.Quote:

There's not a lot of options out there for Kess now. Maybe Lacy will step up to the plate with Kess...I'd be shocked if that ever happened.
If by some strange thing that Joppy beats him, what does that mean about Kessler?
EWWW BRITKIDS GAY?!?!? TALKIN ABOUT CHEWY JIZZ WTF?!?
That says that he got beat...it depends on how he get's beaten...if Joppy wins...I'd have to lean towards one of two things...he either get's caught or he just didn't get up for the fight...that's my take...because I just see no way in hell that Joppy beats Kess.Quote:

i still rank lacy...
A few reasons. He is still young and can learn new things, and still has a ton of potential. Any fighter with power can be dangerous. Yes, he lost, and was humiliated, but he lost to the best in the division, and he didn't suffer a KO. If he gets his heart back in the game, and takes a year{couple of fights} to work on his fundamentals, he will still be top 5 in the division. Let's just hope he actually works towards being great, and not underachieving as a power puncher=David Tua.

Lacy is not young in the sense of boxing - he had more fights than Kessler + Calzaghe together pro and amateur. He also had more than twice the number of defeats then Kessler and Calzaghe put togheter ;). If Lacy is young then Kessler is a spring chicken :laugh:Quote:

I'm not saying that, your saying he's not younger than the other guys based just off the amount of fights he'd had.
Yes indeed, check Kessler's birth date if you do not beleive me. Lacy is a senior compared to Kessler.Quote:

Come on New Wind Royal...do us all a favor...ease off with that mess...it's just getting old. Surely you have something better to do than bash Lacy all the time.Quote:

SMW needs a good American guy as it also brings the market into SMW. IMO Lacy would be great to restart smw at the American market, but still I do not think that he is better than sub-top, but I guess that is a fair statement.Quote:

Time has changed - to me too so give me a chance without attacking me everytime I post ;)
LACY GOT SPANKED but listen to me
remember that slick south paw who LAcy won the vacancy from? syd vanderpool?...
Syd had beaten Ring mags fighter of the year glen johnson who we all know how tough he is ....Lacy got beat by a natural fighter ..some fighters can feel a punch coming b4 the oponents shoulder even flexes and as a south paw this is much more easy to do cause ur jab is set to parry the other mans jab and move away from that right hand ....i know cause as a child boxing southaw was easier for me but i relized i'm gonna need my strong right someday ....ANYWAY no shame in making millions losing to a undefeated veteran southpaw lol u feel me?
