+ how many people were caling Lacy a rookie before the JC fight, watch him destroy Robin Reid for example. He was America's new poster boy billed as minature Tyson, and then all of a sudden he was a nobody. He took the fight with JC too early - plain and simple, JC had been a world champ for 4 years before Lacy even turned pro!! It was a step too far too soon and he may never recover, but before the JC fight and if it hadn't happend I think Lacy could've been the real deal

Because America is boxing's epicenter, and if Joe ever came across the pond and performed anywhere near the way he did in the Lacy fight, he'll be huge.
