You cant take anything away from Joe's win against Lacy. He schooled what was considered the next big thing at super middle. But you cant, at this point consider Lacy a bonafide great fighter. A win against Sheika dont get it. Didnt sheika get whipped by Scott "the human speedbag" Pemberton?

If Lacy develops in a great fighter, Joe will get his due down the road.

If Joe wants the recognition he craves, he needs to knock off some bonifide bigtime talent. I'll stick to my earlier post that wins against Taylor and Kessler would get him his just dues. These are fight that can be made.

I cant justify him as an ATG at this point. I'd hold him in higher esteem win or lose if he made these fights.
