Your thoughts of him as a fighter and accompanied with a poll

discuss.

Undecided.

But good for boxing no matter what.

Undecided.

But good for boxing no matter what.

At first glance, I figured a match between he and Mikkel Kessler was compelling......but not after I saw what he did to pemberton tonight.

I realize Pemberton might not be in the same leauge as Kessler.....but simply being a tall rangy super middleweight will not cut it against Lacy.

If they fought, I think it would be one sided.

I initially said Lacy would pound out a decision win over Kessler....but now I think he will simply knock him out in the early rounds.

Along with Calzaghe.

Joe stands virtually no chance against this monster.

In fact, I think everyone short of Cruiserweight would lose.

Tarver, Johnson, Hopkins, Taylor,

all of them. Forgettaboutit. I'm not kidding either.

Lacy should clean up the Supermiddle Weight Division before moving up to Lightheavy. I think he can beat everybody in his weight class by first degree murder.

if he even slightly cleans up his defense alittle bit then he will be unbeatable at 168.

I think he is still green and he still needs to keep proving himself but he has good potential.

i choose overated... i belive he could beat everyone in his weak division. i do think hes a good fighter, but kinda overated. he's still a youngster tho, so its all good. one thing about him is he is very sloppy, at times he throws crazy punches. a slick boxer could take advantage of that. hes an exciting fighter, needs to become more versatille and could be p4p material easily. and he has a punchers chance anytime, he hits fuken hard!

if he even slightly cleans up his defense alittle bit then he will be unbeatable at 168.

I really do not think that matters personally.

He takes to trade, and does a good job of doing that. He is patient, and has shown the ability to take a punch from guys who can crack:

And has shown the ability to bust guys with Iron chins.

The guy is a machine:

And I would not say including him in a pound for pound list at this point is out of the question.

In fact, he is top ten material in my opinion.

I think he is still green and he still needs to keep proving himself but he has good potential.

Thats what i voted after thinkin it over,I mean Unlike RUN,I dont think hes unbeatable.

Sure I could be overrating him.

However I might be getting over excited considering it's been a while since we had this kind of fighter around.

He is something else.

Yup.Thats why i said i thought hes good for boxin no matter what.I definetly want to see more, he's bringing that excitement back.

He was ****ing AWESOME!

I was at the fight!

Close to front row!

I will definately watch the replay which starts in 10 minutes!
I should have definately been shown on TV!

Jeff Lacy is the Truth!

I've said it more than once, he is going to be bigger than Roy Jones.

I think Lacy is the next Mike Tyson..

Lacy has only beat a old and finished bum

Top ten material RunWithKnives with wins over who? Scott Pemberton? Robin Reid? Omar Shieka? Syd Vanderpool. This guy isn't top ten material YET but he definetly has potential to be a top 10 guy.

This would be probably my 10th time saying this, but he is ****ing insane. He's like a machine, he just seeks and destroys you. One of the most entertaining fighters in the sport hands down.

I want to see him fight Kessler. Kessler brings much more to the table then Pemberton does IMO. I picked Kessler to beat Lacy via UD, but this fight has changed everything. Lacy's an animal. I only see a slick counter-puncher beating Lacy, and even at that I think Lacy could probably knock him out whoever that may be.

Having said all that, I still think Calzaghe of a couple years ago would of beaten Lacy.

anybody who discredits lacy is a total boxing novice. what else do you want the guy to do? as a champ you take care of the guys in front of you. he is killing guys. he isn't the next big thing he is the biggest thing in boxing!!!!!!!!!!! name your man, Jeff Lacy will kayo yim.!!!!1

Once he does this to a top 10 SMW, I'll be sold on him...

calzaghe of a couple years ago...look at who joe was fighting acouple years ago, man looking good against second tier fighters!

imo lacy woops calzaghes ass two years ago and definitly now.

kesslers the only one after calzaghe and its hard for me to rate these guys because of all the second rate euros they fight.. i mean would you want to see a marcus beyer/lacy fight? no.but things can change in a year. a taylor/lacy or hopkins after he looses/lacy...whoa.

He is good, but still green, Have yet to see how he deals with a true boxer, he has the power and a pretty good chin from what I have seen so far but can he cut off the ring? Can he take a true hard punch? I have yet to see that in him.

Let's get real over this. Pemberton is a SOLID fighter, nothing more nothing less. I'm sold on Lacy's power, but i'm not sold on his boxing ability. It still remains to be seen what can happen when we see him in with a slick boxer. Kessler is very hard to hit, and technically he's good so I want to see that fight ASAP.

Why is everyone talking about how "young" Lacy is and that he will keep on improving. He's 28 which is when a fighter is usually at there prime. This is as good as Lacy will get, maybe a little better but not much.

I definetly want to see this guy fight more often though. He's very active that's what I love about him.

One thing you guys are forgetting...The Calzaghe of 5 years ago TKO'd Sheika in 5. Lacy struggled down the streth to beat Shieka via UD. Calzaghe of 5 years ago was a force at super middle and he would of definetly beat the Lacy of today. it's just a shame he took no chances.

People say Lacy has no skill and that he is a brawler...

but he is good at what he does and KTFO all his opponents.

Lacy is good, but I wouldnt put him up there yet with the likes of DLH, Shane, Tito, Winky, B-hop, he hasnt faced anyone of championship caliber yet.

Top ten material RunWithKnives with wins over who? Scott Pemberton? Robin Reid? Omar Shieka? Syd Vanderpool. This guy isn't top ten material YET but he definetly has potential to be a top 10 guy.

Yeah lets not forget the fashion in which he wins fights.

He stopped Ruben Williams who is an underrated fighter in his own right. The only loss Hollywood had was to another monster in Mendoza.

The same Mendoza that Kingsley IkeKe was ducking.


This would be probably my 10th time saying this, but he is ****ing insane. He's like a machine, he just seeks and destroys you. One of the most entertaining fighters in the sport hands down.

I dont see how your aesthetic approval of him as a fighter would not lead you to believe he is legitimate p4p material.

I only see a slick counter-puncher beating Lacy, and even at that I think Lacy could probably knock him out whoever that may be.

Right and Kessler's facet in that fight would be his height and reach advantage over Lacy.

Something that I think means absolutely nothing. This guy can not be stopped by a jab.


Having said all that, I still think Calzaghe of a couple years ago would of beaten Lacy.

I think Lacy could beat Calzaghe now, even if Calzaghe was in the absolute peak of his prime.

Prime Calzaghe v.s. Lacy = Lacy K.O. 2.

And I'm dead serious.

I am not trying to be fescisious like I normally am. I realize the brits get pissed off when I say that.

No pun intended. We are talking about two different classes of fighters. One sheltered, and one who seeks out tough fights and demolishes his opposition.

The Pemberton fight proved absolutely nothing. We all knew that Lacy has extreme power, but we are left with so many unanswered questions about him. I think Kessler would be in with a big chance against Lacy.

Calzaghe is definately a better boxer than Lacy, but i'm not sure if he would want to be hit by the left hook. If it went to the cards Joe would pick up the win though, and has underrated power himself.


Prime Calzaghe TKO 5 Lacy.

i think he throws too many open punches and doesnt punch clean himself, overrated

I was very skeptical at first, but then I saw how good Lacy is and became a fan. He is very fun to watch...

Sure I could be overrating him.

However I might be getting over excited considering it's been a while since we had this kind of fighter around.

He is something else.
u said top 10, i'd b willen 2put him in the top 5 from what i've seen so far..i think he can beat anyone right now...anyone.

i like him, hes green but getting better, obviously can bang but he needs to keep on a roll to really impress me, id love it if he developed into a a very good champion and unified or won at multiple weights, hes pleasing to watch

Tarver, Johnson, Hopkins, Taylor,

all of them. Forgettaboutit. I'm not kidding either.


I absolutely agree with you!!...Tarver wont fight Lacy... none of those people stated can beat lacy..hell some people were saying pemberton will win, lacy finished the job in round 2

I like Lacy and expect him to give us big shows. But, a Champ beating a #5 guy is not that "big" of an accomplishment. Lacy's money-making power has increased, but his legacy has not. So, let's save all the "Tyson" comparisons and "the man" remarks until he defeats somebody who's also accomplished something other than beating Omar Sheika.

Demolishing a solid fighter in Pemberton is impressive, especially since Lacy once again showed he was ready to give the American audience that all-or-nothing pace that keeps the PPV count high. But, Lacy's real test is in the harder hitting Calzaghe, not the #5 Pemberton. I expect that Zaghe will get more respect from Lacy, early in their fight, for showing Lacy he's got heavier hands than the five guys he's beaten in title defenses. I'm not saying Zaghe walks away with this, but neither will Lacy. Unlike Pemberton, Zaghe will be a live opponent that won't be reluctant to fully pull the trigger when the brain is thinking "cover up". Zaghe also won't be pushing his punches like Pemberton did in the last half of Round 2, he fire-away.

Imagine if it was Zaghe, instead of Scotty, that landed that left hand on Lacy's forehead just before the big right ended the fight. I'd say Zaghe would have gotten Lacy's attention much more than Pemberton did on this night.

Lacy is good, but not yet great, by any stretch. His greatness is on the horizon though, if he can repeat his title defense against better quality opponents, which I am totally unconvinced he is capable of doing.

Lacy should clean up the Supermiddle Weight Division before moving up to Lightheavy. I think he can beat everybody in his weight class by first degree murder.
Eaxctly. As much as I like Mega Bouts, I'm all for unification at any weight. Lacy is a bit of throw-back fighter, so let's see him give us a throw-back career approach, meaning unify.

The one problem I see with Lacy is that he has too many wild swings and misses that expose himself to potential counter shots. Other than that, he is unstopable.

I'm beginning to like Lacy a little more each time he fights. Right now from the fighters I have seen at 168 he beats them all. I have never seen Kessler fight so I can't comment on him.

I was hoping he would go down to 160 like he says and fights Taylor if he wins against Hopkins in December. If Hopkins wins he says he will only fight Wright so I know a Hopkins/Lacy fight is out of the question.

I believe Lacy will stop Taylor in a close fight if they ever meet up. If Hopkins can hurt him there is no doubt Lacy can and will hurt Taylor.

Lacy's got a very exciting style. I love watching him fight, but his style also leaves him vulnerable.

That punch on Pemberton looked like it was in the back of the head. I could be wrong though.

I've said it more than once, he is going to be bigger than Roy Jones.

Nah, I doubt it. Jones weighed 200 at one point. Lacy won't be that big.

But yeah, who the hell says Pemeberton and Reid aren't top 10 at SMW? If you say that, you know jack **** about boxing. You don't have to ****in be Roy Jones or Bernard Hopkins to be top 10 at 168 these days. Pemeberton was a top 10 guy and Lacy starched him easily. Reid was top 10 and Lact beat his ass. Vanderpool WAS top 10 and Lacy ****ed him up. So enough of this bs "he hasn't beaten a top 10 at SMW yet". Those are a hater's remarks. If you think he is overrated you have got to come up with some better material than that.

Lacy is a good fighter. His future depends on who is willing to fight him. If he can get guys like Kessler, Calzaghe, and Tarver in the ring he will be a big star. Right now he is approaching stardom, but not there yet.

Yeah lets not forget the fashion in which he wins fights.

He stopped Ruben Williams who is an underrated fighter in his own right. The only loss Hollywood had was to another monster in Mendoza.

I'm not sure about you but pound 4 pound for me is measured by you accomplishments in the ring. If your a p4p fighter you have the ability to move up to different divisions and beat the top contenders or the champions. That's what being a p4p fighter is. Jeff Lacy is doing nothing of this.

Again, He leaves himself open alot and I think a good boxer would capitalize on this. Lacy just destroyed #5 for the IBF I believe. This guy wasn't really a step up from Shieka if you ask me, so his best wins are over Pemberton and Shieka. I'll give you Rubin Williams, he is very underated but I don't rate him that high on the totem pole.

The way he knocks out people is exciting, but we could just be setting ourselves up for disaster here. Kessler is a taller, bigger version of Lacy, with good skills and good defense. Kessler has pop so I see him causing Lacy problems.

I'm still unconvinced. The main problem with Lacy is he leaves himself open. He is a very reckless fighter who swings very wildly, and versus a good fighter who can capitalize on this there will be trouble.

Judgements are made on who you beat and also how you beat people. Lacy destroyed Pemeberton was obviously a step above Sheika with his wins over Sheika, so that's pretty absurd to say he's no better than Sheika.

Lacy is a good champ at 168 but not top 10 p4p yet in my mind. Beating Tarver, Kessler, or Calzaghe would get him there...or if he beats some unexpected guy in a fight no one sees coming like Mormeck, Johnson, Taylor/Hopkins or possibly Woods. Then he could crack the top 10 p4p.

Mormeck would demolish Lacy. If Lacy moves up and fights Mormeck he better pay for a funeral because Mormeck would absolutely dismantle Lacy

I agree, but if he did beat him somehow that would put him up there in the p4p rankings. I don't see him winning that fight though. He should move up to 175 though if he cannot get anyone to fight him at 168. Woods, Tarver, and Johnson are at 175 and he can make some good fights with those guys.

To be honest, I really want to see a Braithwaite - Lacy at 175 or maybe at a catchweight. This would be a very exciting fight, and I'm interested to see how Lacy would handle Braithwaite.

I think Lacy would have little trouble in crushing Braithwaite.

Wayne had his ass handed to him in his last outing by a blow up welterweight.

I'd say that fight wont last longer than 3 rounds.

Nah, I doubt it. Jones weighed 200 at one point. Lacy won't be that big.

But yeah, who the hell says Pemeberton and Reid aren't top 10 at SMW? If you say that, you know jack **** about boxing.

Lacy is a good fighter. His future depends on who is willing to fight him. If he can get guys like Kessler, Calzaghe, and Tarver in the ring he will be a big star. Right now he is approaching stardom, but not there yet.

A 34 year old Robin Reid just doesn't do it for me, and neither does a 38 year old Pemberton. Sorry. And Alejandro Berrio also "****ed up" Vanderpool, what does that make him? The real question is who is Lacy willing to fight? He's already turned down a fight with Kessler. Who's next? My guess is he fights either Otis Grant or Eric Lucas next.

Otis Grant would be a good fight but Otis is 37, so Lacy won't get his dude against either.

Lacy has proved himself to be worthy and he should fight Calzaghe, Kessler, or Tarver like He says. Enough of this fighting top 10 guys, he needs to have a breakout fight and prove himself. He's in his prime now.

So? Their age is meaningless. Pemberton based on performance was top 10, and so was Vanderpool. Vanderpool was starched AFTER getting owned by Lacy. Lacy could take credit for that for sure. Lacy will fight Kessler I'm sure at some point. Although I'm sure in your mind Lacy is afraid of him.

Anyway the fact is, those guys were top 10 and they were good wins. Never said they made Lacy great or anything.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to RunWithKnives again.
Damn right he is looking better and better and his defense is improving....did you see how good his physique looked too he is just getting stronger.

hell of a fighter, i still put him in top 5 of my p4p list damnit, dont care what yall say..

Lacy is putting 168 on the map. I think he beats any of the other champs by KO within 8 rounds. He's just that strong. It really doesn't matter if he can be outboxed because there's no one with enough power that has the range to consistently hurt Lacy and keep him away, at 168 anyway. I think Tarver is a different story. Tarver could be his undoing.

hell of a fighter, i still put him in top 5 of my p4p list damnit, dont care what yall say..
In all honesty most here know he is and has been my favorite fighter but I think he is top 15 P4P but not top 10....Yet he will be very soon and like it says in my sig someday he will be P4P numero uno.

just for personall preference who is your top 5, u can pm me em if ya want.

...IMO he is an unstopable beast right now. He is gaining more confidence by the day. Calzaghe would be crazy to fight this guy and I suspect he knows that.

So? Their age is meaningless. Pemberton based on performance was top 10, and so was Vanderpool. Vanderpool was starched AFTER getting owned by Lacy. Lacy could take credit for that for sure. Lacy will fight Kessler I'm sure at some point. Although I'm sure in your mind Lacy is afraid of him.

Lacy said he wasn't ready for Kessler. Try spinning that.

Lacy said he wasn't ready for Kessler. Try spinning that.

Dude just shut up, your so biased for white euro fighters its not even funny. After reading your posts one could come to the conclusion that...well nevermind.

I still like Codrington more, but I like Lacy a lot. Did from his debut. Him and Calzaghe are the only two at super middleweight that matter at all, imo.

lacy walks threw kessler with some short livid difficulties involved.

and unleast the older calzaghe can get on his bicycle he's doomed.

Now i have seen a few of Lacy`s fight and almost all Lacy punch are with inside of he`s cloves even Knock downs,it`s incredible that judge not give Lacy a warning or disqualified him

If he works on his technical skill he really will be a force in boxing! He seems to have everything else but there will come a time when he fights someone who doesn't go down and he will have to know how to box. If he improves on his technical side (straightening out his right hand) then he will be great.

I found it funny yesterday Russ Anber said Jeff Lacy is overrated cause you can see his punches coming but his fighter got KTFO

Bump!!!!!!!!!!!!

hahahah owned :D

ROFL. Please I can't take it anymore.

If someone finds a thread along the lines of building up, regarding as solid-great Jeff Lacy's resume, I will literally piss myself.

LMFAO.

I mean, I like Lacy don't get me wrong but this... OMG :rofl:

They have the nerve (yanks) to say Brits overrate their fighters.

ahahahah the american stupidity at its finest

if he even slightly cleans up his defense alittle bit then he will be unbeatable at 168.

:rofl:


What defense??? Blocking punches with his head? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

A big LOL to this thread.

And we overrate our fighters :rofl:

I think if a stand up comedian used this, half would be sooo appalled there'd get up and leave. The other half would be in the worst case of hysterics known to man. There wouldn't be enough ambulances to deal with all the people with respiratory problems.

It is funny though how before it was all Lacy KO Calzaghhe, Lacy KO Kessler, Lacy KO Sherman Tank etc.

But after Joe whooped his ass all over the place its Lacys overrated, Lacys shot etc.

Funny that.

Classic **** that will never die. Sorry Semi. :lol1: :lol1:

But after Joe whooped his ass all over the place its Lacys overrated, Lacys shot etc.

Funny that.

It has as much or more to do with the fact that he lost to Vitaly Tsypko (on my card) and then nearly lost to peter manfredo jr.

It has as much or more to do with the fact that he lost to Vitaly Tsypko (on my card) and then nearly lost to peter manfredo jr.

Yeah, he got a gift in that fight but it wasn't one sided at all it was still close a bit, and you should be impressed he even finished the fight with a broken rotator cuff. Though, I felt like he was beating the **** out of Tsypko before his rotator cuff tore I believe it was in the 3rd or 4rth round. Doctors say its amazing that he kept fighting just for the fact I think a torn rotator cuff is very painful.

Jeff Lacy is a waste of talent. He looked horrible in his last three fights. Power Puncher? I beg to differ due to the fact that Jeff lacy hasnt had a knockout since 2005. He needs to really step it up on July 23

It has as much or more to do with the fact that he lost to Vitaly Tsypko (on my card) and then nearly lost to peter manfredo jr.

But that wasn't the same Lacy that fought Joe, mentally or physically.

I voted serious force.... I loved Lacy :( shame that he's shot. I hope he gets his game together.

Lets hope he KTFO Medzima, then you can attach yourself to his nuts again until he losses again (like with Miranda).

At first glance, I figured a match between he and Mikkel Kessler was compelling......but not after I saw what he did to pemberton tonight.

I realize Pemberton might not be in the same leauge as Kessler.....but simply being a tall rangy super middleweight will not cut it against Lacy.

If they fought, I think it would be one sided.

I initially said Lacy would pound out a decision win over Kessler....but now I think he will simply knock him out in the early rounds.

Along with Calzaghe.

Joe stands virtually no chance against this monster.

In fact, I think everyone short of Cruiserweight would lose.

Tarver, Johnson, Hopkins, Taylor,

all of them. Forgettaboutit. I'm not kidding either.

anybody who discredits lacy is a total boxing novice. what else do you want the guy to do? as a champ you take care of the guys in front of you. he is killing guys. he isn't the next big thing he is the biggest thing in boxing!!!!!!!!!!! name your man, Jeff Lacy will kayo yim.!!!!1

calzaghe of a couple years ago...look at who joe was fighting acouple years ago, man looking good against second tier fighters!

imo lacy woops calzaghes ass two years ago and definitly now.

kesslers the only one after calzaghe and its hard for me to rate these guys because of all the second rate euros they fight.. i mean would you want to see a marcus beyer/lacy fight? no.but things can change in a year. a taylor/lacy or hopkins after he looses/lacy...whoa.

This thread still provides what the Mexicans call "Muchos lollage, Senor." :lol1:

None of the above. He isn't green. He certainly isn't over-rated now, the Calzaghe and (particularly) Taylor fights have shown where his level is and it is below 'serious force', certainly compared with all the guys in the SMW tourney. He doesn't suck, he has a good record only losing to two of the best fighters in recent years. And I like the guy, he is a warrior, has tremendous heart and was dignified in defeat. I wish him well, but it won't be at the top of the SMW division.

he should have lost to tyspko, mendoza(thought he was playing football and tackled him to save his ass), otis griffin, and had a razor close fight with manfredo. not to mention before he fought calzaghe he had a razor close fight with omar sheika.

he sucks.

Jeff who?

lol.

All of Lacy's recent wins have been razor-thing decisions, majority or otherwise. He's done.

Whoever bumped this thread back up, I enjoy seeing incorrect assumptions using 20/20 hindsight.

damn steelhead,i thought you were smart

He was the new Mike Tyson. The fight against Scott Pemberton (where anyone with EYES could see how slow, inaccurate and wide open he was) proved this. :lol1:

Let's grab some archive LOLs:

a quality thread!!

I just voted "serious force".

Lol. This thread and Lacy's career proves we never know how a fighter will respond when put on a world class stage.

typical yanks overrated their fighters. shocking.

your taking the piss right, did you not see the way he was humilated by Calzaghe, Kessler would annihalate Lacy, at least Kessler put up a fight
against Calzaghe .

Lol oh man that is funny. I wonder what you were thinking when he got whooped by Calzaghe....whopped by Taylor.....and just all out embarrassed against an old ass Roy Jones lol.

Bump
For Jeff's confidence.

Post of the decade, yes no maybe so? Opinions.

Street, this thread, and Deigo Fuego's "shall we go right ahead and call Lacy the man in the 175lbs division?" are both COMEDY GOLD.

Check my sig for pure GOLD DUST.



I thought Jeff "LOL" Lacy looked like **** against Shot Pemberton (a fighter who could have gotten up but clearly was just there for the pay day).

He was slow, missed consistently, looked wide open and a gift to any decent counterpuncher worth his salt.

But I log into NSB and he was top ten P4P and the new Tyson :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

You can tell that most who voted he sucks was after Calzaghe spanked him.

RunW/Knives wasn't born retarded, it was his drug abuse that made him that way.

_____________

I've said it more than once, he is going to be bigger than Roy Jones.

I think Lacy is the next Mike Tyson..

People say Lacy has no skill and that he is a brawler...

but he is good at what he does and KTFO all his opponents.

...IMO he is an unstopable beast right now. He is gaining more confidence by the day. Calzaghe would be crazy to fight this guy and I suspect he knows that.

lolololol......

Golden times. There was such a huge clamouring behind Kessler too, people may remember.

Now that it's set in history everything is so certain. But back in those days...Calzaghe was going down.

RunW/Knives wasn't born retarded, it was his drug abuse that made him that way.

Whats your excuse then?

This is why Calzaghe is the best. People are *****es for trying to discredit his wins over undefeated Lacy and Kessler. Just because they lost after he beat them.

I think we should just go ahead and call him the man at 168.

Hilarious and intriging thread... 5 star

this thread should be bumped once a month

Good grief.

This site was even more retarded back then than it is now.

Well he seemed to be a force before the Calzaghe loss. He was never the same after that loss though. Calzaghe was to much for lacy and ruined him. Calzaghe was to much for anybody though. He was a superb boxer, even though i never liked him.

Man reading some of the 2005 post's in this thread has me rolling! haha.
