last time i checked .... lacy said his shoulder was feeling 100% for recent fights... and also last time i checked he said his shoulder and tragedy in family was reason for the calzaghe loss... so if u wanna use excuses go ahead its not gonna change the fact that lacy throughout his career was a one dimensional slugger who knocked out a bunch of bums and couldn't beat world class competition... because there is nobody on lacy's resume that shows he was a great fighter... even americans didnt really acknowledge him.. **** hbo didnt even acknowledge him lol.. he was a fighter overhyped by brits too make that calzaghe win seem legendary lol... next u brits are gonna tell us that calzaghe is a god

you obviously werent here before the JC fight the first page of the GF was filled with lacy ko 3,lacy win via fatality threads.after KP beat Lockett it was 'oooh calzaghe will duck pavlik now' then nard exposed that hype job and the pavlik fan like the lacy fan disappeared off the board.

Jermaine Taylor has too much athletism for Kessler, and is a great combination puncher. Kessler relie's on his strong jab, but i believe that Jermaine Taylor can out jab Kessler....and then mix it up with combinations WITH VERY BAD INTENTION.

TKO..!

Tue, Yet Lacy did something to taylor that he could not do to Joe, he knocked Taylor down, even though the ref missed it

taylor didn't expose Lacy, Calslappy did, further more he beat a 2-handed Lacy much better than Taylor against a 1 handed fighter. BTW I just saw the Mendoza fight and Lacy has definetly slipped from where he was.

Very well said, I recall Lacy winging left HOOKS at Cazaghe, something he didn't do to Taylor, because his left shoulder is still bad

Here's a sampling of what American commentators were saying BEFORE the Lacy fight:

"But don't be surprised if Lacy has to come from behind to do it. Lacy, by big left hook, in the 11th round." Matt Aguilar

This content is protected

"I wonder if Lacy's airline will allow him to carry on all three belts (the IBF, IBO, and the WBO) as he returns home or if they will have to be checked?"Amy Green

This content is protected

"After a few good early rounds by Calzaghe I look for Lacy to extract something from Joe with his heavy shots and body work. Calzaghe has been dropped in the past and it may only take one of Lacy's jackhammers to turn the fight in his favor. I think he does land that punch, and it is all downhill for Calzaghe after that." Joey Knish

"The Floridian's defense, speed and agility is improving with each bout. His brutal combinations never lose their force and snap. Youth and strength will trump experience Saturday night. Lacy KO 8." Zachary Levin

This content is protected

"On his home soil Calzaghe via unanimous decision. Scott Mallon
I think Lacy is going to have a lot tougher night than he expected, but his youth, speed, power, and ferocity should garner him a late round victory. Lacy TKO 10."  Bob Mladinich

"Joe should have his early innings between pride, hand speed and 40,000 at the MEN Arena screaming for him but, ultimately, hell be  bludgeoned into the canvas by the eighth round." Joe Rein

"Calzaghe is a damn good fighter and I'm very tempted to pick him in his own backyard, BUT I think Lacy will come out more determined than ever before and will have the strength and power necessary to finally knock Calzaghe off his thrown. I see Calzaghe down for the count in Round 7." Benn Schulberg

Lacy might be something special. Calzaghe should be the test to prove it. Lacy will past the test. Ed Schuyler

This content is protected

"Calzaghe, however, indeed has a questionable chin. Calzaghe has been dropped in the past by a decent puncher in Byron Mitchell, 18 of 25 wins by KO, and by the light-fisted Kabary Salem, only 12 of 25 wins by KO. Though Calzaghe got to his feet and won both of those fights, neither man's power comes remotely close to that of the man who will stand in the way of Calzaghe Saturday night, and the long-awaited respect he believes he deserves. Calzaghe will fight with the heart of a true champion, but it will not be enough to stop Lacy, who hits as hard as Tyson and is as fast as "Pretty Boy" Floyd. Lacy by KO in six." Alex Stone

This content is protected

"Each will have a difficult time inflicting damage on the other. But when the final bell sounds, Jeff Lacy will have successfully swarmed Joe Calzaghe enough times to win. Lacy by decision." Aaron Tallent

This content is protected

"Lacy has been well marketed so he's gained attention and approval perhaps beyond what is deserved. But I like his power, love his athleticism and his hunger. Calzaghe is hungry, knows the clock is ticking on him and is a crafty lefty. This is a 50-50 proposition. I'm going out on a limb here. I see a draw.....Just kidding. Looking for Lacy to bull the Welshman, who has to prove all his smack talk over the years wasn't just posturing, but hell be hurt by the fact that his opposition has been less than stellar since he turned pro in 1993. Lacy TKO 4." Michael Woods

And you would perhaps expect him to say:

"My shoulder is all ****ed up since the injury and the surgery. I can't throw the left hook like I used to. In fact xxxxx is probably going to beat me."

With the number and quality of new posters we're gettin on here, there must be a STUPID **** factory somewhere cranking them out !

NOOOOO LACY HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CHUMP!
AN OVER RATED HYPE MACHINE!!
NOBODY EVER THOUGHT HE COULD BEAT CALZAGHE.
YOU SHOWING ME THE PROOF DOES NOTHING TO CHANGE MY MIND!!
I AM STEADFAST IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY I AM NOT A FLIP FLOPPER!!

Taylor wants no part of Kessler. He was outboxed by Pavlik (even if it was close) but he would beat Kessler? I pick Kessler to TKO him.

I hope the Taylor - Bute will be made soon.

Bognashavin · Nov 23, 2008

If Taylor can get beat twice by Pavlik, then Kessler has a very very good chance. I think Kessler is often underated. Despite his loss to Joe I thought he did pretty well, and in other fights he hasn't seemed to stretch himself to get the wins.

Who besides Calzaghe would he have needed to stretch himself against?
