Jeff Lacy...can anyone else beat him?

considering he tore his left rotator cuff so badly he needed extensive surgery, and that his best punch was the left hook, I think alot of people can beat him.

 

Tsypko almost beat him. That fight was an MD, I scored it a draw, lots of people scored it for Tsypko. Seriously, a lot of people can beat Jeff Lacy.

 

I think he would have a tough time with Mundine

 

Pavlik got a good chance of beating him, that would be an exciting match IMO.

 

because of his injury.

I think outside of Calzaghe, Kessler, Mundine, and maybe Bute and Froch, Lacy has an easy time in the division and I would favor him over Bute, Froch, and maybe Mundine.

 

Mundine if he ever gets his eye working again.

 

you're assuming Lacy will fully recover from his injury, which is doubtful

 

I would pick the following over Jeff Lacy...

Joe Calzaghe
Mikkel Kessler
Anthony Mundine
Lucian Bute

 

seriously, unless lacy decides to all of a sudden incorporate a lot of boxing skills into his game, there are a few fighters who will definately beat him.

kessler, definately! no doubt about it. he'd school him like similarly to how he schooled andrade. but unlike calzaghe, kessler will put lacy away inside the distance.

kelly pavlik, definately. he would get into a war with lacy, but when he decides to stand back and hit lacy from range, he'll take over. UD or late round ko.

mundine, maybe. mundine is a confidence fighter so jeff might put mundine into a defensive shell for the entire fight.

typsko did well. i gave him the fight. yes, lacy tore his rotorcuff, but still if they fought a third time i would not right tyspko off.

lucian bute might, though i have not watched many of his fights so cannot say for sure one way or another.

can't think of anyone else, but considering lacy is not a huge power puncher, and lacks some skills, especially in the footwork and defense department, he wont be anymore than a contender in my opinion.

 

Lacy isn't a great P4P puncher like a Hearns, Jackson, or McClellan by any means, but he has a lot of power.

 

I know, he got degraded for losing one fight:verysad

 

agree... meaning he won't be winning a title any time soon...

 

Froch, Bute, Inkin, Pascal, Mundine (with one eye) and Andrade would all whip his ass.

 

ya i could think of about at least 10 off the top of my head in 5 seconds, he is a good fighter but there are a lot of guys who are better than him
