Can Gavin Rees make Broner Jeff Lacy II?

[Mars_ax]

Broner maybe Jeff Lacy II, time will tell. Sadly though, I doubt Rees is Calzaghe II, but instead, more like Reid II...

Hope I am wrong, but I am taking Broner in a mid to late round stoppage, with Rees bravely going out on his shield.

Broner is no Lacy and will not be a Jeff Lacy. Broner has that born with talent that was not developed by anyone but himself. Yes he's a twat but he's also a kind of hybrid. A subtle mixture of Benton, Floyd and Burley.

Possibly; but who is to say that hindsight may show it was a mixture of Benton's power, Floyd Snr's drug habit and Burley's political connections?

Lacy was a one dimensional hooker and the only reason he had the success he did is because his opponents broke a cardinal rule which is never hook with a hooker.

That is written with years of hindsight. Many of us were seriously high on Lacy, who was a hybrid too, of Barkley (limited but brave), Tua (left hook) and Davey Moore (one fight ruined him)...

Not to diss Mr. Rees, but he's in way over his head, i'm sure he will be courageous, but he hasn't got a fucking prayer.

Rees won't make Broner look like Lacy, it'll be the other way round.
