Lacy has been gifted with the right passport and with a large SMW-hungry US fan base together with some stupid reefers’ gifts like in the Reid, Syd, Williams and even in the Calzaghe fight.
To be fair to you Royal. You do admit that this next fight is the benchmark where we can see if Lacy is to be a player in the division or not. You dont like Lacy as a fighter we know. Your suggestion that the Reid result was a gift is somewhat stupid. Reid wanted to continue but was clearly being overwhelmed.

So how will you evaluate Lacy if he shows improved skills and stopsTsypko convincingly? A player or not?
To be honest I never saw anyting from Lacy that I liked, but if he defeats Tsypko I better put him in my top five SMW - my best greetings for Lacy to chose a guy like Tsypko as his come-back fight - if Lacy had boxing skills as his balls he would be P4P no. 1.
Fair enough. Ive no issue with that response and that was the sensible answer I was hoping I would hear.

Im not a big Lacy man myself. I always backed Calzaghe to beat him despite the build up. And so for me too this is a key fight in deciding if he can really do it or not. Remember, he is nearly 30. Not much time to develop those skills! But the power will always be there.
