    It was sad. But, Jeff had no problem doing it to others on his way up. Circle of life.

    Lacy never really was. LOLOL.... sure, he was a guy with better than average power. But after that, what else did he really have?

    Lacy is/was the kind of fighter that, while he looked intimidating, all you had to do was punch at him... he wasn't a good counter puncher, and he was slow to work inside. Once you kept him at bay for half of the round with a good jab- doesn't have to be a Larry Holmes kinda jab, just a "good" jab- and the other half mix up moving around the ring, circling him and throwing combinations when he moves in, he had no answer.

    Calzaghe and Jones did that to him with ease. Lacy was good when he got off on you, but never could beat a decent fighter that came to fight, let alone a top-tier fighter, because of those same deficiencies.
    Bigger man George, bigger punch!

    He beat some decent fighters who came to fight. Pemberton, Reid, Sheika, Rubin Williams. Winning his title against Vanderpool also comes to mind.

    Haha... Good!

    Jeff Lacy was a joke. Calzaghe exposed him and he fell apart.

    Lacy was overrated on the other side of the Atlantic, but it was injuries that made him a one armed fighter. He looked completely shot in the footage above. I don't think he really landed a punch.
