    I have not seen Jeff since the Calzaghe fight but was wondering about a few things. Obviosly he is around but I was wondering what people have seen in him since that fight.

    How do you think he bounced back after that fight.

    Has he bcome a better fighter for it?

    Do you think he has gone into his shell a little?

    Has his confidence taken a low for the way at which he was beat?

    I hope he has learned from that fight and has made improvements in his deffensive ability.

    To be blunt, he has looked God-awful.
    He's a very nice kid and I hope he is saving his money and investing it well.

    he aint half the boxer he used to be,
    i re-watched that fight only yesterday and he was doing ok to start but went straight for the knock out.
    calzaghe kept dodging his punches.
    just think if he hadnt come over to challenge calzaghe ,then calzaghe would still be content with fighting in europe now and none of this stardom would have ever happened for him.

    We will never know how the Calzaghe fight affected him as he properly ****ed his shoulder in his next fight. Between the surgery, the lay off and Calzaghe its hard to tell what did what, but he hasnt looked good. The only thing that isnt in doubt is that he has a lot of heart.

    I think he will be doing just that especially with his lawyer sponsor guy behind him. I cant remeber his name.

    I think most British boxing fans have huge respect for Lacy and wish him well. I certainly do

    Become better?Hell no,he looks to be shot.He was out of it with Tsypko,didn't look impressive with Manfredo(look what Bika just did) and arguably lost with Mendoza(who had hom out on his feet aswell).He's definetely on a big slide.Don't expect much from him.

    I remember seeing him on the Hatton-Mayweather Jr. undercard. Manfredo Jr. was almost begging to be KO'd but Lacy didn't seem to have what it took to finish him off. Pretty disappointing.

    i think Lacy is a great guy and i'd like to see him do well but since tearing his rotator cuff against Tsypko he hasnt looked capable of that devastating form we had grown acustomed to before he met calzaghe.
    Hope he has enough left to beat Taylor.
