Lacy signs up with Golden Boy 5 fight deal

[JT Rock]

I just read that Jeff Lacy has signed up with Golden Boy Promotions on a 5 fight contract deal.
Lacy may fight on the undercard of Hatton/Floyd. (very strong possibility)
Lacy is down to 180 after being reported to have weighed over 200 pounds a few months ago.

Lacys finished. he should retire

I feel like ryming tonite hmahhm (as I clear my throat) here goes.......

YOUR A DICK SO HERES YOUR

[BoxingGorilla]

Lacy is done. Lacy has always been a one-dimensional fighter. And I think his recent injury has robbed him of that one dimension. Unless Lacy proves other wise, I see him as a journeyman fighter.

I'm a Jeff Lacy fan. I hate to think it about him, but I feel the same way as you, D.

I think the Calzaghe fight and the shoulder injure derailed his career and the track he is on now isn't heading for glory.

I still like Jeff Lacy.

This is coming from a Vikings fan who still thinks Herschel Walker was a good idea

Put your Clicks where your mouf is come fight night I'll own you some more

[mayorook]

I really really do hope this true, Lacy was one of my favorite fighters for the last 4 or 5 years and i would really like to see him involved in with that camp. I am so happy to hear this.

[El Kabong]

Jeff Lacy still has potential which he has not reached....Calzaghe owned him bad but his career isn't over.

Lacy hasn't fought since the Tsypko disaster in December 2006...Tsypko was too good of a fighter for Lacy to use him as a rebound match.

Lacy should fight some easier competition before getting back in with the big boys and he should also fight often so he stays in shape and focused on the goal of being champion.


If he's unable to come back from these setbacks then I consider him a bigger disappointment than Domonick Guinn

Lacy tore his cuff in the 2nd round and battled through the next 8(unlike Vitali Klitschko who quit on his stool), like a 5k racer tearing his hamstring in the 1st mile and winning the race.

Lack will be fine

[El Kabong]

Hey you can say what you will about Vitali but he came back MAYBE because he didn't keep going in that fight.


If Lacy sacrificed his career for a win over Tsypko then he's an idiot because where has it put him? Vitali became a champion again.

He's a throwback and a warrior Lyle, plain and simple cant fault a guy for that especially when he got dashed to pieces 8 months prior

[El Kabong]

....and you're saying Vitali is not a throw back warrior simply for the fight vs Byrd and not even considering his fight vs Lewis.

Vitali is injury prone but he's a tough SOB too he fucking fought for a living but there is a point where it's wise to not fight hurt, there is a point where fighting hurt gets you MORE hurt and hell it doesn't win you any medals....just because Lacy beat Tsypko with a torn rotator cuff it doesn't make me think more highly of him and just because Vitali sat out once he tore his rotator cuff it doesn't make me think any less of him...he fought as hard as he could for as long as he could and his corner said no more and he went with it, in the end it allowed him to get healthy and get a title back.

Lacy still has the potential too

Being a huge fan of both Vitali Klitschko & Lacy...hands down Lacy has a better shot at making a comeback due to his age & the fact that his back & knee does'nt blow out everytime he's on the shitter. :P

[El Kabong]

Yes but we just don't know how this rotator cuff injury will affect him in later fights...maybe it doesn't affect anything but hey maybe it does but we're going to have to wait until he fights again to see if he's the same Jeff Lacy.

Honestly I think he needs to really improve his punch output and not just look for the one big punch.


Vitali was helped emensely by the fact that he's always been an awkward fighter and he's just bigger than anyone else. Also, if I'm not mistaken Vitali's back was the cause for the cancelation of the McCline fight and he had to have surgery on it again.

agreed 100%

reckon he'l be a gatekeeper for world class.
