    What do you mean 'if'.. Lacy WAS a hypejob.. Arthur beat Taylor. Lacy lost EVERY round to Taylor.

    Lacy couldn't beat bum Vitali Tyspko in his return fight after Calzaghe and only won by robbery. Thats how good he was.

    Arthur had 3 fights with Stig dummy and dominated two of them. Lacy can't carry King Arthur's jock straps.

    AA is ancient nowadays. He laid out Taylor in '09. Jeff didm;t have a single good win at SMW.

    The case for Calzaghe being better than Ward ended the night Ward trashed Kessler one-sided.

    It wasn't even a contest , but Joe went life and death with Kessler. What other case has Joe going for him? Thats his best win.

    Admitting is the first step. I'm just glad you are beginning to recognize the anger that has been creating a lot of your distress.

    Reading comprehension can be adversely affected when you are emotional...hence...thinking there's an admission when I was only providing context to my post. I didn't compare Joe's win over manfredo to Hearns last fight. Joe's last fight wasn't against Manfredo.

    You alright now?

    What did I just say?

    Lacy was overrated in hindsight and JC took his soul that night.

    1st fight: 116-112, 116-112, 115-113

    2nd fight: KO for Stielglitz

    3rd fight: 113-112, 111-114, 110-115 SD

    4th fight: TKO for AA.

    Hardly complete domination is it?

    He'd beaten solid opponents, similar to the fighters AA had feasted on at 160.

    I'd take the Eubank that JC beat to beat AA.

    if you meant jones and hopkins, you were comparing 35/36 year old post-kesslerbestwinever joe with near 50 hearns.

    Your time is already expired here with me in your last exposed post. goodbye.

    Yes he did but looking back at it Lacy wasn't that good. Just a limited guy who got alot of hype Koing cans.

    Yes you do especially when a fighter gets exposed. I bet you thought Lacy would beat JC.

    I'm glad you are beginning to be more curious about things. It means you are starting to think more critically which is something I can tell you haven't had the ability to do in the past. I think this has been good for you. Working through your emotional issues via a boxing message board isn't exactly the ideal platform, but progress is progress. I didn't mention Jones or Hopkins and that wasn't a mistake. I can almost hear the gears grinding in your head at this point. Don't over think this. You're making it a lot harder on yourself. If this is really "goodbye", I hope it's not a cry for help. You're in a much better place because of my time and patience with you, even though it's been a bit difficult, emotionally

    And I'd pick the Froch that Ward beat, to beat the Eubank that JC beat.
