Every single time he fought a sub-top boxer Lacy has struggled big time!

Against Ross Thompson he was almost KOed and looked very shaky.

Omar had deserved a draw against Lacy, who he rocked a few times – but when Sheika went to Europe and fought Beyer he got schooled like a boy – Marcus could school Omar in every single round, so do not pretend that Lacy “no skills at all” would be better against a decent European guy unless his over the hill and unless Lacy gets all the ref helps he normally gets – he was gifted in the Syd fight (VERY VERY premature stoppage), in the Hollywood fight (also very very prematre stoppage), in the Robin Reid fight indeed ( I have in 20 years NEVER seen a ref helping one of the boxers more that he did Lacy in that fight) and even in the Calzaghe fight he brought his own ref from the US, who help him not being stopped in 12th round against Joe…

Do not expect much from Joe in Future if he fights EU guys – but if he continues to fight American SMW, then he would look good until the first time he faces a top EU guy.

Like it or not but Lacy is only to compete at American level – he get beats every time he takes on top EU Dogs :-D
