Can Jeff Lacy be the man he was against Reid again???

[Memphis]

I hope he can come again, he looked dominant until the shoulder went, that ucked him up more than just physically, he was like a little boy lost after that.

Other than Calzaghe Kessler I would still make him 50/50 with most SMW.

[ono]

The only way he can be the same man he was against reid would be if he fought reid again.

Simple as that.....reid was shot to pieces, did no sparring, had a duff ref to deal with and got cuffed to defeat.

Lacy was one big hype machine

You know how bad the hype was? People at my work...just regular sports fans were saying things like 'calzaghe is going to get knocked out' and i simply asked 'how many jeff lacy fights have you seen?'

Guess what the answer was?

Zero

I respect lacy for his heart and especially the determination he showed that night.....but the guy is a pretty average, one-dimensional fighter. Gary Shaw is one deluded man.

[Memphis]

They were saying that because they were paying attention to the many 'experts' who said Lacy would flatten him.

Theres nothing wrong with being one dimensional, as long as it works for you. Up until Calzaghe it was working for Lacy, so much so that the majority of people picked him to win.

For evey person that said Joe would win, there were ten saying the opposite, sure your friends at work got it wrong, but so did the people in the know who they were listening to or reading.

Yeh i know, the point i was trying to make is how quickly hype gathers momentum and i honestly think a lot of so called experts are desperate to find a new mike tyson.....that's what led to the lacy situation.

Lacy will be back, and hopefully will be fighting Manfredo Jr., whom he will KO. Far as the Reid fight goes, it was impressive win for Lacy I remember, but I was impressed with Reid's toughness too. He kept gettin knocked down and beaten up and on about th 2nd or third knockdown, he was down on one knee, looked over at his corner, smiled, winked, and got up for more. Thats a tough dude, when your world is crashin down around you and you're takin a hell of an ass whippin to be cool about it, that tough. Ya gotta admire that shat.

[Dark Lord Al]

I'm sure that the Calzaghe demolishing has took everything out of Lacy and it showed in his return match against Vitali Tsypko with a narrow Majority decision which I thought he was VERY lucky to get the win.

I'm just concerned with the lack of fights and no news on Lacy whether he can be the same fighter like he was against Reid, Pemberton etc or has the Calzaghe defeat taken it all out of him.

He can be like he was againest Robin Reid if he fights Robin again
other than that hes a chump with power

Yep Reid had never been knocked down but when he fought Lacy that all changed

You can't say that Foreman was much harder hitter than Cooper yet Cooper was the one who decked Ali.


Tyson was much harder hitter than Bert Cooper yet Tyson couldn't floor Holyfield or really budge him yet Cooper had Holyfield all over the place and down.

Styles make fights.

[Violent Demise]

Lacy is as good as he is going to get. And it's not very good

[ono]

Agreed!
