Taylor vs Lacy this fall?!!!

[rene69]

LAcy was hurt by Manfredo, so i'm guessing he'll get stopped by Taylor. It seems that Calzaghe took all of Lacy's will and mojo.

I'm calling major Bullshitsky on that one

Well...it sure looked that way to me. Lacy made Manfredo look like a world beater and almost lost. He looked terrible. Did you even see the fight?

How did he make Manfredo look like a world beater and still win while managing to look like shit? He did look bad I admit but Manfredo sucks and only won a few rounds because Lacy was lacking. Manfredo definitely did not look a world beater lol

Are you serious!? He almost lost the decision. And he did make Manfredo look good because he's shot.

So you're telling me you left that fight saying Manfredo looked good? That's all I'm saying. If Lacy was shot, and Manfredo got knocked down and still clearly lost, how does he look good?

Well I would love that too but as it stands right now, the loss to Calzaghe was 2 years ago on March 4 I believe. So far he's been in the ring twice. I would love a tune up fight or two against bums but he's not getting that for some reason. Don't know who's fault is. Maybe Golden Boy because they have no small shows, just HBO shows basically. But that's been the case so if this gets made, a Tarver fight, or any other fight against a good opponent you have to just trust that he works that rust off in camp

He's not a bad fighter, I'm a fan of his style but he has skills he was a top amateur. He's not some unskilled brawler, I'm not sure the talent gap between Taylor and Lacy is nearly as big as people think. It's an interesting fight but like you I'm not sure how much I want it made. To think that if Judah's dumb ass didn't go through glass we wouldn't even have to be talking about this.

I agree, he has plenty of skill, and there is no huge gap, except for inactivity.. Jeff has Winky to spar and work with whenever he wants, and I like to think He's been in the gym training this whole time..

I liked Jeff working that right hand early on against Tyspko and he also put Manfredo down with it and it wasnt even a flush shot, not to mention Petey has never been floored, so Jeff has plenty of pop, he just wasnt putting punches together against Manfredo.. It looked like he picked up with round 13 of the Calzaghe fight were he was slow off balance and slow to pull the trigger, he would load up with a hook and then step in and do nothing.. Scary, scary!!! Usually Jeff is like a relenless pitbull, full of energy and strength.. against Manfredo he was flat out of the gate

Hey buddy,take a breath and quit taking things so literally. I never said that Manfredo looked good, I said that Lacy made Manfredo look good and like a world beater. It was a figure of speech. I will say this though, if MAnfredo would have fought LAcy before Calzaghe did...he would have been brutally destroyed.

My bottom line with Lacy is that I think Calzaghe beat the fire out of him. I can respect the fact that he fought on against Tsypko (sp.?) with a torn rotator cuff, but he looked sluggish from the opening bell. He didn't look impressive at all against Manfredo either, he clearly won IMO, but did nothing for me to think he could be a title contender anymore. The thing with Lacy was his power...will his injury ever be fully healed? Well maybe, maybe not it sure would spell trouble for his future in boxing.
There are a lot of fundamental flaws in Lacy's movement as well, I wouldn't give him a chance in hell against Kessler, Bute or even Andrade at this point. I really need to see something more from him.

Sure thing Pal

For some reason I thought you were a Manfredo fan in that first post saying he was a world beater, took it a bit to literally like you said.

Yea smartass I have seen ALL of Lacys fights the last 4 years I saw Manfredo get put on his ass and then fighting a pussy fight the rest of the way... It takes 2 to make a fight, Manfredo fought scared the remainder of the fight.. FACT

LOL!! It's cool man, never thought much of Manfredo either. CAn you imagine what Lacy would have done to him pre- Calzaghe?

[Violent Demise]

Tarver by UD in what shouldn't be much of a fight

I'm pulling for Lacy in this. Not a big fan of Tarver

Some of you guys are saying Taylor, some are saying Tarver.

I just noticed that. I remember Tarver-Lacy was discussed. For some reason I think that's what they were talking about. Anyway I think Taylor beats Lacy
