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
