American super middleweights of the last 10 years and some questions

He might not have been as bad as you say. Read below.

The other potential top American SMW of the decade could be Lacy whos career was short but shone brightly

Lacy beat Vanderpool to become champ in a fight for the vacant IBF belt vacated by Ottke
Lacy beat Sheika who went on to challenge for the WBC title after and who recently gave former WBC LHW champ Diaconu a hard fight
Lacy beat R Williams who was 26-1 at the time
Lacy beat R Reid a dangerous world rated SMW who looked unlucky against Ottke. Reid had beaten undefeated Magee who is Butes next opponent and who became European champ and after losing to Lacy beat Brinkley who coincidently, was Butes last opponent.
Lacy also beat Pemberton who was on a winning run of 5 and had twice beaten Sheika in those 5 wins.
After Lacys loss he went on to
Beat Tsypko who had beaten Magee (Butes next opponent) by close debateable decision and undefeated Adamu.
Lacy also beat the other top American SMW of his time at the top in Manfredo

Saying Lacy could possibly be Americas best SMW of the decade might not be far wrong either. It seems debateable between Lacy and Mitchell

 

Now. Can you not read? I said lets not make this thread about Calzaghe and Ottke.
Also this thread is for the years 2000-2009.
Your right in that there are some good fighters in your list and worthy of a thread of their own, but some of them werent as good SMWs as they were in other divisions, so lets not twist it too much. If that were the case and I was to do that, I would have praised J Taylor higher for his wins over Hopkins that could rival many names on that list

 

Blocky Jnr. Here you are again stalking me atsch. Weirdo, dont you think its becoming a bit of an obsession to you now.
You have to remember as a completely non bias poster I give credit to fighters from all different countries.
Still dispute the fact that the fighters I note are not the best SMWs from the last 10 years. Oh thats right you cant, because you only come on here to stalk me, not debate boxing

 

Not much, but it did highlight that Lacy was looking dominant as the best American of the past 10 years.
Consider Pemberton had 2 wins over Sheika, one as a KO and Sheika would go on to challenge for a world title twice more and give Diaconu a hard fight.
Pemberton was a solid puncher and had earned a world rating.
So in the scheme of the complete SMW picture not a massive thing but for Lacys bragging rights as the best SMW in America, beating the fighter that had beaten the fighter who gave Lacy a tough fight in his previous outing, it was a fair win and one that would probably rank higher than Brinkley or Joppy on Butes world title defence resume

 

Not disputing. Read on below
