There is nothing sad about how Lacy turned out.

He was the first boxer from the 00 Olympics to win a world title. He got a lot of money and fully paid off a house in Vegas that he could live in for the rest of his life if he wanted. And he still has a solid head on his shoulders and is generally recognized as one of the better people in all of boxing. He's accomplished a lot. He has a lot more to tell his grandkids at 29 then most of us will ever have for our entire lives. He was boxing's breath of fresh air for a while there, was even in a Super Bowl commercial.

Sorry just had to get that all out, didn't mean to get on you specifically but a lot of people down on Lacy in ways they shouldn't be.

Anyways, if Lacy can return to prime form then this is definitely an interesting matchup. Make no mistake about it, Taylor isn't Calzaghe and no one will have an easy time with Lacy if he's 100%.

Taylor can be backed up fairly easily and that's what Lacy would do. Lacy is also good enough to keep from being backed up by Taylor and Taylor isn't exactly hard to hit. Lacy would also be a lot bigger and work the body.

I think this would be a great fight that has a great chance to come off. At this point I would favor JT with my head, but Lacy would definitely have my support. I wouldn't expect a blowout on either end.
