    Oh incase any body want to say "Pascal didn't show he got shaky chin vs Diac and Dawson" <<<True but it was at 175 pounds in which his chin is better to take a punch on that weight class.

    Lacy is very underated. His resume isnt bad either with Tsypko, Vanderpool, Sheika, Reid, Pemberton and Manfredo. Lacy was fed to Calzaghe too quickly and should have been given more time to develop.
    Lacys resume isnt as good as Frochs but before facing Calzaghe, other than a tough fight against Sheika hadnt really struggled too much whilst Froch looked a bit lucky to some against Adamu and Dirrell (I thought Froch won both).
    I would favour pre Calzaghe Lacy to outpoint Froch in a very tough physical fight where Froch hurts Lacy, but Lacy survives and wins. Consider how Lacy looked before Joe ruined him and think of how prime Froch was looking against Taylor getting put down and beaten most of the rounds, shot Lacy didnt look much worse against the same version of Taylor even being denied a KD
    Lacy close points win

    that is a ****ing bull**** excuse. pascal was never weight drained, he decided to move up after being bested by froch because it would have been unlikely of him coming out on top of that division. also why would he be better off against people who weigh more come fight night and hit harder because of it. MONGOLOID.

    oh and Froch would dismantle that over hyped bum.

    Lacy defined what a hypejob really meant. Even before fighting Joe, Lacy looked like **** in alot of his victories.

    I've actually started to like Froch. He has a true warrior spirit, typical british arrogance(funny to me), and is fairly skilled despite his at times awkward style.

    Froch along with Dirrell are improving at quite an impressive rate as compared to everyone else.

    I'm even beginning to lean towards a Froch upset against AA.

    No son.

    You ever watch Lacy pre-Calzaghe?

    If you have then you know damn well that Lacy wouldn't be able to keep a fight with Froch competitive.

    Christsakes you're acting like Lacy was Bruce Lee before Calzaghe. He wasnt. If anything Lacy was a less than average fighter with above average power. Plain and simple.

    Lol and yet the only fighter that Beat Lacy in his peak was Calzaghe cause of Calzaghe big time speed and movement in which that's something Froch doesn't do. Froch is a far different style then Calzaghe in which i think a peak prime undefeated Lacy would give Froch big time problems. I bet the ones you talk about that Lacy didn't look great against are the ones that didn't stand toe2toe with him. Froch however doesn't do that in which he loves to brawl. Lacy vs Froch style wise would be an awesome fight in which i think it'll be an even fight. And did i forgot to mention that Froch all the time loves to keep his left hand all the way down? If he does that to a peak Lacy, he might not last the 12th round.

    It's not a bull**** excuse. <<It's a clear cut fact that Pascal chin and the rest are not better at 168 pounds then he is at 175 pounds. Go watch Pascal fights at 168 pounds and then at 175 pounds and you honestly tell me that his style and chin hasn't improved at 175 pounds ok?

    Stick to the ****ing thread topic.

    Pascal means nothing in this thread or to the proposed matchup.

    I know more then you. I bet i watch most of Lacy fights (pre Calzaghe) then you have. You and the rest of the knuckle heads talks about cause since Froch beat Taylor (weak chin), Dirrell (I thought Dirrell won it), Pascal means he will tko a peak Lacy? :lol: Have you ever ever heard of style makes fights? <<If not then you'll in the wrong sport.

    I've watched all of Lacys televised fights(quite a few). Despite Lacys early success there were few occasions where you could say "Damn Lacy looks good!"

    In many of Lacys fights he would get outboxed and beaten up. Then out of nowhere Lacy would drop a bomb. Emphatic win no doubt. But it really just told us that Lacy had power and nothing else.

    Froch breaks him down to a stoppage around 8 or 9
