Jeff Lacy says that the fight with JT is off and that he is retiring. He doesn't really give a specific reason but states that the boxing business is shady. Well after the JC fight Lacy hasn't been the same so whether he fights on or not really doesn't matter anymore.
gary shaw, lacy's corner and the ref from the jc fight need to retire too... they cost lacy his career - should have been stopped in the 9th, shameful that they let him get beaten like that
This April fools is 3 months late. You believe that hogwash you`ll believe anything. Jeff isnt going anywhere just yet.
Still on, Taylor didnt want the fight, tough **** for Taylor, he had his chance to fight for the title and he wanted the easier option.
no jeff boxing isn't shady...your ability to block is shady ...shouldn't have blocked joe cs "slaps" with your face
On Friday Jeff Lacy told the Tampa Tribune he was retiring from Boxing and he wasn't going forward with a fight against Jermain Taylor. Lacy stated: "I'm retiring, There will be no fight between me and Jermain." Lacy's only reason he gave for for quitting was that boxing was a dirty business. Middleweight boxer Ronald "Winky" Wright has yet to speak with Lacy after his shocking retirement statement, but insists he knowns Lacy isn't through with boxing just yet. Quoted by the Tampa Tribune in regards to Lacy quitting, Winky stated: "He ain't done. He's probably mad, but he ain't done. I know he's not done." In regards to Lacy stating it's a dirty business, Winky added: "It is a shady business. You deal with a lot of shady characters, so it's hard to deal with it, and a lot of people don't want to deal with it."
Jeff Lacy may be using the Mayweather strategy to call some attention to himself and comeback on short notice with a good deal and a major title fight at the right time.
