Lacy was just another example of America's desperate "search for the next Mike Tyson". People have to realize that there was only one Mike Tyson and that it may be a long time before we get someone remotely similar. Even before Lacy fought a live body people were already talking him up as a carbon copy of Tyson, but of course real boxing fans knew he was indeed far too slow, clumsy and lacking the key fundamentals that made Tyson successful; handspeed, ingenious combinations, highly explosive footwork, and speed. Lacy had none of these, but the fact that his style resembled a (very) poor man's Tyson, combined with his nearly perfect record (outside of one NC) caused him to be hyped to ridiculous proportions.

So Jeff is probably the best example of an overrated fighter from the past several years...and that is very unfortunate, because he is a nice guy and a decent fighter, and really doesnt deserve the backlash that he's been getting ever since Calzaghe pasted him
What backlash is that Junior 1 loss does qualify him to go bagging groceries and then should jump off a bridge ..I mean please buddy remove head from ass then post really..What makes Lacy good is that he is humble and willing to learn he has a good team around him..Lacy is relentless and has a huge heart and a Granite chin and Helacious Punching power despite the beating he took he never took a step back he fought and came forward 3minutes a round for 12 rounds he has the heart of a champion and will be one again...You cant learn those qualities you are born with them...You can learn to jab, Box and be a better defender...

Your right Lacy is NO Tyson.......As much as I loved watching Mike He had no heart and always faded in the Face of adversity he quit when he was getting beat and looked for a way out.....Lacy has heart and desire like a true warrior Though he lost he never looked for a way out never looked to his corner to stop the fight...He persevered and will live to fight another day...
