Jeff Lacey

[ICB]

Lacy was rated high by every major sanctioning body and you know it,

You obviously didn't read my other posts because i stated in those other posts that i go with my own opinion. And not other peoples opinions there was major flaws in his game even before Calzaghe fight in the fights i mentioned.

I notice you like to denegrate a fighter when it is convenient to further your arguement. Not to mention you didnt even belong to this forum when the 2 of them fought,

Im not trying to put anyone down im voicing my opinion on the Lacy, i see major flaws in Lacy's game way before Calzaghe fight. Lacy got very overrated because of his KO win over shot Robin Reid, in his fights with Vanderpool, Sheika, who are mediocre fighters at best Lacy showed flaws and also showed that he was on the one dimensional side. I predicted Calzaghe would win pretty clear cut decision, now i don't want to sound nasty here but i don't care if you or anyone else don't believe me i know i did and thats all that matters to me, i see most of Lacy's fights before Calzaghe fight plus i had seen a lot of Calzaghe's fights. And style wise i heavily favored Calzaghe. I have already admitted that i didn't think it would be as one sided as it was but still i predicted clear cut UD for Calzaghe.

You have developed this bad habit of using hindsight to promote your opinion... You have been inconsistent on quite a few occasions and have vasolated after the fight takes place and then try to convince everyone that you had that opinion all along when you didnt.... Not saying this is one of them but you have done it quite a bit the last few months

I really don't know what your on about at all JT, i am very fair to all fighters even ones i dislike. But i see Lacy's flaws way before Calzaghe fight, and its nothing to do with Lacy getting dominated by Calzaghe or having off performances against Vitali or Manfredo. The flaws were already there its just got worse and worse because of Lacy's injuries plus Lacy losing confidence. Do i like Lacy ?? yes i like his attitude and i want to see him do well, but that still doesn't change the fact that i see major flaws in Lacy even before Calzaghe fight and like i said earlier its nothing to do with hindsight.

I have to agree that alot of people,in this instance are using hindsight. As with most of Joe's wins. At the time,Lacy was highly rated,undefeated and seen as unstoppable. Granted you knew,if you watched him,that he didn't have 1 punch ko power,but you also knew that he looked like the kind of guy that could beat Joe. I respect and admire guys with the knowledge of Al Bernstein,and even posters like Amat and JT,and they chose Jeff for a reason,as did 95% of the rest of the people(in fact everyone,neutrals etc apart from JC fans) who watched the fight. Joe won,and now Jeff didn't look good here,there,Jeff was over rated etc. That may be true now,but at the time,Lacy was the next big thing.That is a fact.

I'd love to see Jeff v Andrade,and if he fights like he did v Manfredo,if his shoulder and the rust bothers him,Andrade is taking him out of there.

Im not using hindsight i already see the flaws way before Calzaghe fight, and as for your last comment like i said to JT i don't care if 99 percent of the public thought Lacy would win. I have got my own opinion and thats what i go with not other peoples opinions.
