Hopkins and Lacy both lost to Calzaghe.. but

Fights like Sheika-Lacy and Lacy-mendoza show Jeff for what he is: a limited plodder with decent power.

 

You know I think Jeff Lacey is an undersized Super Middle . . . I think he focused too much on putting on muscle instead of developing skills and speed and stamina, his power is not that great at super or he would have knocked out Epifanio . . . And his footspeed and handspeed are subpar

Barring a Lacy knockout, which seems very unlikely, Jermain Taylor should win an easy decision.

 

with the injury he had it would be amazing if he came back to what he was

 

I agree with that comment about Lacy building muscle instead of skills and speed. I think he could of made middle weight or even maybe light middle weight if he had planned on that at the start of his career. He does have power though but he is shorter in size than Paul Williams and Antonio Margarito.

 

lacy is usually guaranteed excitement but unfortunately a skilled boxer takes him to school every time.

Jermain needs to fight behind his jab and keep his head moving. He won't win a slugfest against even this version of Left Hook. It's a more dangerous fight for him than I think most realize.

Well, just because you can identify a fighter's weaknesses doesn't mean it's childsplay to take advantage of them. What made Lacy-Calzaghe ridiculous was how easy Joe made it look, and not just in spots, the whole damn night.

I'm not a big Calzaghe fan, but even I've got to take my hat off to what a bona fide ass whipping he dished up that night.
