Somebody said to me "Curtis Stevens would have beaten Jeff Lacy"

so you feel the need to pick the lacy from his very best performance and pit him against the worset version of stevens ?

you know almost every single fight could have a different ending if said BS was possible

 

I actually picked Joe to out box him not on work rate based on that fight.


Also I based it on experience ,people were in aww as to what he did to Reid but Reid was far gone from his best . I just wasn't buying into the hype at the time ..

 

:think


Pickem fight for me . Haven't watched enough Stevens o give an accurate answer .

 

fair enough, for me lacy never showed me that true winning spirit if needed toughing out a win when he was losing. i always remember him as a front runner, a bully that when the going gets tough he pretty much crumbles.
he will stand in there and take a beating like a zombie but he just never showed me anything more than a contender/journeyman level.

i know stevens can be labled a journeyman but i think he will win some future titles, i think he is much better at 160 too.. an much better than his record suggests

 

Yeah I have only watched a few fights and the last one was the GGG fight so can't really say that helped .

 

LOL

Holy shlt, Calzaghe fans really have NOTHING else to talk about.

No, no one told you that Curtis Stevens would beat Jeff Lacy because no one knows or cares about Lacy except obsessive Calzaghe fans (such as yourself).

Things aren't looking good when you've retired and Jeff Lacy is the win you're best known for.

 

come on brenny, of course they would pick jeff, at that point when joe faced him, joe was estimated to be a national level guy based on his resume, so its logical tp pick an ibf champ over him.

its not jeffs fault that joe had done nothing for 9 years.

 

In Wales...around Calzaghe dinner table specifically

Kessler & Lacy are immortalized as ATG

Hopkins, Salem & Mitchell are also immortalized as ATG punchers

Omar Sheika & Mario Viet as ATG fighters who lost their souls vs Calzaghe

Sven Ottke is in the memory hole...34-0 , 21 IBF title defenses in the 7 years of Calzaghe WBO reign when the WBO was still a fringe title

 

It is kind of funny how someone can defend a paper title in his back yard for a decade, get two good wins, fight two very old big names, and be proclaimed an ATG by nationalistic morons who know no better.

Sad actually :-(
