Just a thought; but does the $$$ really matter to Lacy for a Taylor fight? I mean, the guy seems to want to either be known as a good solid fighter; or with this retirement talk a guy who will walk away before he gets booed away.
A fight with Taylor, who is coming off two losses to Pavlik and who has been called by some more of a paper champion than a true great middleweight, is risky. It is very likely he'll lose a fight against Taylor; and then what does that leave in the way of any sort of "legacy", if you will, to Jeff's career? I think Jeff would rather walk away than lose to a guy{probably decisively} that is already being touted as "not that great" or "on his way out". I don't see the $$$ being that big for a Taylor fight; so is itreally worth it?
My mind is wired today for this fight tonight, + lack of sleep, so apologies if this post is incoherent![]()
Holy.....................
I did not expect this at all. When all is said and done Lacy was really between a rock and a hard place in his career, once reality sets in, with the injuries and the difficulties in recent fights he's had, I can't see him having much except frustration from top of the world at 168 to where he is now without much to look forward to except getting paychecks in the future, I can understand his decision. He has incredible heart and is a warrior through and through, but I think reality is setting in he realizes where he stands in the food chain and realizes how critical boxing fans are. Hate to see it from such a nice guy, but then maybe it's not a bad idea to get out while he still has all his marbles.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
Lacy was winning but still not pointing in a positive direction.....his fans are sad, but it's smart to know when to just get gone. Not worth risking your health to prove something to fans and media who wont give a crap about you when you're studdering your words trying to read a book to your grandkids one day cause you wanted to prove how tough you are, the window opens and closes and it's a short time usually in boxing, the smart one's see that and close it themselves on thier own terms...
Hidden Content Click clack ! Give up the purse.........or yetti will find you.
With no real feelings one way or the other,neither fan or antagonist if he wants to retire,he should retire,because if his heart isnt in it,he is going to get taken out.
I was under the impression that the money on offer was upped and Jeff has signed to fight Taylor?
The fight is still going, this racist Pig AKA Royal has brought this up again as a way to bash Lacy, he has relentlessly bashed Lacy for over 2 years with his racism.. This guy is a puke and disgrace not to mention banned more tha 20X![]()
