After 5,10,15 defences, the guys across the pond didnt come battering down his door. That tells a story in itself. dont get me wrong, he comes across a nice guy and talented no doubt, but an all-time great? There are guys who werent even champions who would have eaten him for breakfast. Bobby watts, Willie munroe to name a few. Even Eubank pre Watson would have done enough and hes another WBO (world british organisation) 'champ'
So you get atleast a top 5 guy in your division at anytime who's defended one of the main titles 10,15 times... he's not real... he's a 'chancer', if you were confident that you could beat him and he was nothing then why wouldn't you fight him?

With some of the nobodys that Jones etc padded their record with are you honestly telling me that travelling to a guys backyard (or even asking him over) who is an established reigning champion (and some how an easy win) wouldn't make sense?

Retarded logic
As for Lacy,do you honestly think lacy was good? Jones made a fool of him a few weeks back. Won every round and was talking to the crowd too. Thats how good lacy is.
I'm sure you were one of the 0.001% saying that before the fight aswell Coz before the fight he was the 'Middle Weight Mike Tyson' and was plastered over every advertsing hoarding and all over Superbowl as the next GREAT boxer. But he lost to a british guy, so he must always have been sh1t! It couldn't possibly be that he was just beaten by the better man and took a beating that his confidence never recovered from. Hindsight is a wonderful thing innit. Sure he always had limitations but the Lacy that fought Jones was not the same man that fought Robin Reid.
