Lacy is a one arm fighter at this point.
He got a gift against Mendoza, and he lost pretty badly to Taylor.
Roy Jones is going to another win over another former world champion to his resume.
Anthony Hanshaw was more of a threat.

The same way I feel about Jones-Trinidad. Two shot fighters going at it isn't too thrilling for me.
I think Jones is just way too past it. He didn't have that killer instinct against Calzaghe and don't think he has much left. With that said, I think this Roy Jones still gets a decision win. Lacy will eat that right hand lead all night.
This fight means nothing but I'll still end up watching it. This will be a Fight Night Round 3 match up considering whenever one person picked Roy Jones the other person chose Lacy and vice versa cause they were the only good fighters in the weight class statistically...

I think Jones will win easily. He managed to hit Joe with quite a few clean shots in the early rounds. Lacy is too slow and will lose by UD.

I am going for Lacy to win one of the worst fights ever seen
God is a concept, By which we can measure, Our pain, I'll say it again, God is a concept, By which we can measure, Our pain, I don't believe in magic, I don't believe in I-ching, I don't believe in bible, I don't believe in tarot, I don't believe in Hitler, I don't believe in Jesus, I don't believe in Kennedy, I don't believe in Buddha, I don't believe in mantra, I don't believe in Gita, I don't believe in yoga, I don't believe in kings, I don't believe in Elvis, I don't believe in Zimmerman, I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me!!
I think Jones wins a meaningless fight. I just hope this going on too long doesn't tarnish his legacy. Jones WAS unarguably one of the greatest of all time but now? I wouldn't say completely shot but not even 25% the man he was!
I see Jones winning it i dont no how but his speed (whats left of it) will win it for him, but i wouldnt be suprised if Lacy drops him like he did against Jermain Taylor he still has some seriouse power in his left hand.

I picked Lacy for this one mainly because I was in Vegas when Roy fought Ruiz. If Jones has the legs he had for that fight he should be able to run around Lacy all night scoring meaningless taps. Lacy is much more durable and powerful. Don't take this as criticism of Jones overall, I think he was an amazing fighter, with natural ability like few. I just think that Lacy has a little more at this point in their careers. Besides, Lacy knocked a heavy bag off the ceiling, even if it was hung with toggle bolts.
He never dropped Jermain Taylor legitmately, from my memory it was a shot to the shoulder. Jeff Lacy wasn't ever elite even in his prime IMO, but now hes been reduced to a journeyman status.
Gift decisions against Epifanio Mendoza, Otis Griffin, further prove this point. And you say Jeff Lacy still has some major power in his left hand, but whens the last time Jeff Lacy's stopped anyone ?
His last stoppage win was in 2005 against Scott Pemberton since that, hes never come close to stopping any opponent, even C+ fighters. Personally i think this fight is a farce.
Im a big RJJ fan but i don't see what this is achieving. RJJ is clearly shot and Jeff Lacy has been totally ruined. And it seems like both fighters are just fighting now just for the sake of fighting. Both need to retire A.S.A.P.
Manfredo is the truth... His defensive skills against Bika were mind boggling... You'll probably never see the likes of that prowess again.
Seriously, though... Lacy is only going to be dangerous early. Jones still has good footspeed even though he's shot. He'll probably win a medeocre decision win in an anticlimactic fight... But what do I know![]()

Ahh sorry for hating on your boy POB, but i think you'll even admit Peter Manfredo is decent at best. Although i thought he could of done better, but he froze in his two biggest fights. And it reminded of Frank Bruno, where he didn't know what to do when he's in trouble.
