    I'd be interested in seeing this fight.

    Froch's heavy handed but keeps a low guard and doesn't seem to have the greatest defence.... Lacy has (or at least used to) have good power and also a good chin.

    Who wins and how?

    Lacy (the next Tyson) couldn't even KO Manfredo. This guy is so done it's painful. Froch by tko.

    lol. Lacy is the most bizarre self-destruction I've even seen in a once top fighter. That guy scared people pre-Calzaghe, brutally KO'd decent fighters, was supposed to massacre all comers. What a complete meltdown. I don't even think it's so much lack of ability or hype. I just think he's broken inside, completely lost all confidence after the internationally televised public thrashing at the hands of JC.

    I'm a Lacy fan for sure, and I agree with this 99%. I DO think Lacy can fix it, but its a matter of if he WANTS to that I doubt...

    It's a shame, because he was great for the division and for boxing, a flawed but exciting and explosive fighter. SMW would be a much better division if he was still competitive against the top guys. Some fantastic fights could be made. The old Lacy v Miranda? That would be ridiculous, a blood bath.

    This would be good for Froch but a total confidence killer for Lacy at this point.

    Froch TKO/KO

    I dont understand why Lacy is wasting his prime years he is so inactive and another talented American SMW Allan green is also to inactive. I think Lacy Vs Green would be a good fight to establish who is the best SMW in America!

    Froch should batter him.Even though Froch enjoys the comfort of not pulling his muscle to lift his arm to guard his chin Lacy is a spent force.Look to see the glaring mistakes Lacy would make as a result should the fight happen

    That's the reason I want to see him against a heavy hitter.... how good's his defence? Hasn't really needed it so far!
