MANFREDO JR-LACY IN DISCUSSION!
By G. Leon


Boxingtalk.com receieved a call from Jeff Wald, the executive producer and partner of the Tournament of Cotender group. Wald informed us that TOC has been in discussions with Gary Shaw for a Peter Manfredo-Jeff Lacy showdown later this year. According to Wald, Manfredo Jr trainer Freddie Roach was mistaken when he informed Boxingtalk's Brad Cooney that Manfredo could be fighting Joe Calzaghe. "We're discussing a Jeff Lacy fight with Gary Shaw, but there have been absolutely no discussions regarding Joe Calzaghe." Stay tuned to our front page for all the latest!

Only if he is gunshy. If he does not show such a huge reluctancy to be hit, like he did last time against Tarver, albeit a man who KO'd him, he will win fairly easily. His tremendous speed is still there, and at 168 he hits really really hard.

Please...........Calzaghe would murder Manfredo.

Damn straight, I truly believe that Mayorga, Ouma, Quartey, or Forrest would all destroy Manfredo as well. Beating a completley shot Pemberton means nothing, meant nothing for Lacy either, we see that now. But fellow RJJ fan, could Jones do it? Could he beat Calzaghe, I think so myself, but he would have to not be afraid to be hit, and throw some DAMN PUNCHES!

any truely decent fighter would beat manfredo, he reminds me of harrison, cept not QUITE as bad haha, he was my fav in the contender tho

Ishe Smith is better then all these guys he deserve the TV time in my opinion that they get.

if manfredo beat Lacy, i honestly wouldn't call it a huge upset

Before the awful Calzaghe beat down I would have laughed at a Manfredo fight for Jeff, but now it seems like an OK idea. Lacy needs confidence right now.

For Lacy it makes sense, he gets a tune up fight against somebody that can bring in some money for the fight. From Manfredo's side it doesnt make sense. I dont think Manfredo has the power or ability to move fast enough and long enough to stay away from Lacy's power. Lacy inside of 8.

I am looking for a video from the Manfredo Jr-Pemberton fight. Somebody help me out.

i remember back in the amateurs at the 99 us championships, jermain taylor knocked manfredo clean out during their match. then beat him again a couple months later.

manfredo is a decent boxer but cannot match it with the best.


i thought that babyface guy had the most potential on the contender but he talked to much crap.

whos tht one ?? jaun de la rosa?

I think he is talking about babyface Ahmed Kaddour

http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=020099

I agree.. he looked like he had alot of potential

yeah poom thats the one buddy,i was very impressed with his speed and skill.im sure we will hear of him again one day.


juan de la rosa needs a lot of fine tuning,he was all over the place in his fight.

He was shat. He lost every fight on the show.

they only fought 5 rounds in the contender.


it would be a different story if they had fought over 12 rounds.

Calzaghe is way outta Manfredo's league. I wouldn't be surprised if Pemberton took a dive in that fight against Manfredo, I mean Manfredo never even KO'd any of those little guys on the contender, yet he easily KO's Pemberton? ???

im talking about the fights on the contender,you said babyface was shat,and i said its hard to gauge a fight when its only 5 rounds,if they fought over 12 it would be different.


im not talking about manfredo and joe.

OH, STOP. PEMBERTON WAS PUNCH DRUNK AND SHOT, GRANTED... BUT HE DIDNT TAKE A DIVE. THE SHIEKA FIGHTS BEAT HIM UP SO BAD THAT WAS PRETTY MUCH ALL THE POOR GUY HAD LEFT. NEVERMIND THE FACT PETER HITS HARDER @ 168 SO LETS NOT JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS

That Charles Brewer fight didn't do Pemberton any good, and neither did his loss to Lacy. I say Manfredo would have a tough time with Kermit Cintron or even Teddy Reid, either of which would most likely KO his ass.

TRULY THAT WAS NOT A GOOD TEST FOR HIM AND THE CONTENDER WAS NOT A GOOD BEROMETER... HE WAS USED TO FIGHTING 12 ROUNDS PRIOR ALL THE OTHER GUYS MAXED @ 6-8 ROUNDERS... TRUTH IS ALL WE CAN DO IS SPECULATE... HE HAS A WORLD CLASS TRAINER IN ROACH THAT COULD TURN HELEN KELLER INTO A BOXER AND HE HAS SPEED AND TALENT... WITH THE RIGHT GAME PLAN HE MAY BE ABLE TO FIGHT ANYONE IN THE DIV. I THINK HE'LL SUPRISE US ALL... WE DONT HAVE MUCH TO BASE IT ON EXCEPT HIM DROPPING ENORMOUS AMOUNTS OF WEIGHT IN THE CONTENDER TO FIGHT SOME OF THOSE GUYS WHICH MADE HIM TIRED AND WEAK AND THEN HAVING TO ADJUST THE 5 ROUNDERS THAT HE HADNT FOUGHT IN YEARS SO REALLY WHAT CAN WE BASE(EVEN A LONG TIME FAN LIKE ME) OUR OPPINIONS ON... THIS WAS HIS FIRST FIGHT WITH ROACH IN HIS CORNER....WAIT....JUST WAIT

good points dude.

THANK U :coolclick:

Manfredo is such an average talent. I was born in Pawtucket and i don't even like the guy. Don't let the KO of the Sandman fool you. He is third tier at best.

Why can`t you take a joke ?? :laugh: ;D

It is too much soon for Manfredo... I don't think it's a smart bet. ???
Why he wants this fight?

CUZ HE THINKS HE'S BETTER THEN LACY AND CONFIDENT AS HELL... CONFIDENCE DOESNT WIN FIGHTS, THOUGH

well he may be confident or just deluded he is not better than lacy in any way

LACY HAS NO BOXING SKILLS WHATSOEVER... HE'S A BANGER WITH A CHIN. SHOW ME A FIGHT WHERE HE EFFECTIVLY JABS, USES FIENTS, ECT. HE TRIED TO HIT THE HOMERUN AGAINST CALZAGHE AND GOT BEAT UP. PETER WILL GET BEAT UP TOO BUT THE FIGHT WILL BE CLOSER... JOE WONT KNOCK HIM OUT BUT WILL(IF THEY FIGHT) WIN ON POINTS... THEIR POWER LOOKS SIMILAR.

hahaa u make me laugh manfredo cant punch and thts lacys style and he would beat manfredo

YEAH WELL HIS STYLE NEEDS SOME WORK NO VERSITILITY WILL LEAD TO ALOT MORE LOSES AND MAYBE HE'LL BEAT HIM... DONT KNOW TIL MANFREDO GETS SOME QUALITY OPPOSITION UNDER HIS BELT
