    I've got Collins winning comfortably on points. Thoughts?

    Lacey had a good chance against Collins before he met Joe Calzaghe
    Joe took his soul and after that fight Lacey might go 6 to 7 rounds wtth Collins
    There are two Laceys Pre Calzaghe and post Calzaghe
    Post Calzaghe your nan would beat him on points :nonono

    I think Lacy get miscast as a bum who was overhyped and exposed when he fought Calzaghe. I think it is a disservice to Calzaghe who was one of the few that was just good enough (great) to expose and take advantage of those flaws.

    Collins should win in hindsight, but I don’t expect him to humiliate Lacy like Joe did.

    give me a close Collins decision.

    I agree. Another reason for his sharp decline was a major shoulder injury that bothered him until the end of his career.

    Collins is as tough as they come. I think he takes this on a TKO

    Lacy was an incredible amateur.

    It wouldn't be a blowout. But, at their bests, I just can't see any scenario in which Lacy wins.
