Both fighters are good for the sport and both fighters are good guys to root for but im picking Jermain Taylor to really do a number on Jeff Lacy.

Taylor starts well
maybe drops him
then the fight becomes close.
one fighter who has nothing to lose and the other who is wondering where he stands, i feel its going to be last chance
mind over speed and power
Didn't see the Omar Sheika fight but i did see the Rubin Williams fight and he did show his class in that fight i still think he can do it for some strange reason but i just don't think he hasn't gotten over his embarrassing loss to Joe Calzaghe and i think alot of Jeff Lacy's bad form is based on him not believing in himself anymore and not having confidence and those injuries haven't helped either...........................
But if Jeff Lacy can show some of his old form this could be a good fight because Jeff Lacy is a good pressure fighter at his best and he has a solid chin and if he can get Jermain Taylor into the later rounds where Jermain Taylor has faded in the past we could see an upset but the question is will Jeff Lacy show his old form ? i think he could do because this is the first elite fighter he has fought since the Joe Calzaghe fight and that may make him more up for this fight and the money will for certain motivate him but we will have to wait and see.

I don't know why Joe Calzaghe has been brought into this you asked me if i had seen Jeff Lacy against those fighters.......
But i haven't got Joe Calzaghe's fights i think he is a great fighter but i could never get into his style.....
But he has been great for the sport and you have to admire that whether you like his style or not his record speaks for itself.
well lacy had a lil trouble 2nd and another later round cant remember so i pick jermain taylor to look very impressive but which lacy will come to fight?
peace
I love both these fighters and don't want to see the two of them fight. At the same time Jeff is done. He looked terrible in his last fight. When he fight Taylor come November he will look even worst! He is going to get his ass kicked!!!
Taylor SHOULD have an easy nights work but he's in the habbit of fighting down to his opponents level.
No I don't think so because I've seen Lacy fight Mendoza, Manfredo and Tsypko. Nothing impressive in those fights, I give him a pass against Tsypko cause of the injury, but has looked really bad lately (last few years). He mind is scrambled and instead of taking a knee to avoid Mendoza he tackled him. Lacy is gonna get slaughtered against Taylor.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
It's easy to look good against a guy like Williams who has never beaten a quality fighter. Sorry to sound like Teddy Atlas, but everytime that guy stepped up, he lost. By the time Lacy fought Sheika, he had his ass handed to him by Joe C and Thomas Tate, and he lost two wars with Scotty Pemberton. Robin Reid was shot by the time they faced. Jeff Lacy has never dominated a quality fighter in his prime. He didn't even dominate Manfredo.
Some this his was because of injury and some of it was being overmatched with Calzaghe when he has fought nothing but a bunch of club fighters and shot old men. At one point, he had plenty of potential, but I don't see him coming back from the injuries at age 30 to be a better fighter than he was before. Too bad. I like Lacy and think he's a good guy, but it is what it is.
If JT keeps his hands up and works behind his jab, he'll make easy work of Jeff with a UD.
I like Lacy but after seeing his last few fights I cant really seeing him trouble Taylor much. If he turns up with anything like a percentage of what he had pre-calzaghe though (when he did used to look awesome) he will.
