I appreciate that Lacy was ring rusty, and that he injured himself against Tsypko, but doesn't it worry you that he hasn't really showed a good performance in two years. I do think that Lacy can still recover to some sort of title that will eventually get vacated by Joe, but plunging in to a fight with Kessler after this one would be the wrong way to go in my eyes.

Sure Lacy would get another good payday, especially if it gets made in Copenhagen, but if he wants to be really competitive with Kessler then he needs to do a few 8-rounders to sharpen up pretty quickly.
