Lacy on Antonio Tarver:
"First of all I'm sure any of those guys at heavyweight would find it disrespectful that he's calling them out. What has he done other than beat Roy Jones? If Roy Jones Jr doesn't give him the opportunity, he wouldn't have the name he has now. The only reason he's sitting in this position is because of Roy and now he doesn't even want to give Glen Johnson, another guy who beat him, another shot either. He can't say he don't want to give me a shot because he feels I'm not ready. If that's the case why don't he take the easy fight? If he thinks they feeding me to the wolves, take the fight and don't worry about the guy you're going to get in there to beat up on. I would never worry about that. If it was me in his position and I felt there was a young champion coming up from a lower weight class and I felt I could make millions against someone I could knock out, do you think I would walk away from the easy fight?"
"I'll knock him out. He won't go ten rounds."
"Tarver can't handle pressure and he can't fight backing up. The pressure that I put on a fighter and the strength that I have, and keep in mind I would be a lot stronger at light heavyweight. I don't think he would last eight rounds in the ring with me!"
"I'm willing to go up a weight class, knock Tarver out and then come back down to fight Calzaghe if I have to. It doesn't matter to me how it plays out, I just want to fight the best."
in his last fight, he beat the great RJJ, you talk as though he beat a scrub. And RJJ looked good in that fight, he just wasn't good enough for tarver.
the RJJ of old would kill tarver
rjj is no longer great, and he wasnt even for the first fight IMO, which he still won by decision

what the hell are you talking about? my whole point is that Tarver put on a very mediocre performance to win a decision. i'm like one of the bigger Jones jr. fans on this board.. read the comment correct next time.
i really like lacy. i've been slow to join his bandwagon, but i really just don't have anything against him and he's really entertaining to watch. and he pretty much says everything i want to hear as far as the fights he wants. and after tarver rj 3 i'm inclined to agree that tarver wouldn't make it past lacy. and more and more the money is there if they fight- and that is what tarver is all about (in my opinion) so i think it just may happen. but damn- those 2 fighting in florida would be a 110% gauranteed sold out arena.
i just don't see how people can look at Tarver's last fight and say he stands a chance..

Being a Tampa boy, i am a fan of both Tarver and Lacy, but in this fight i would have to go with Taver, it will be a remake of LL/Tyson. People underestmate how tough Taver really is. He will not let lacy KO him
LOOOOOOOOOOL...
IVE BEEN SAYING IT AGAIN N AGAIN...AGAINST ALMOST EVERY FIGHT OF LACY...I WAS HIS FAN IN HIS 11TH FIGHT...NOW HES 21-0...17 KOS...HE BEAT REID...N SOME OF U SAID HE CUDNT...HE BEAT PEMBERTON..N SOME OF U SAID SCOTT IS DANGEROUS N LACY IS GOING TO LOSE BUT LACY FINISHED HIM IN ROUND 2.... I KNOW THE WAY LACY FIGHT BECAUSE IVE ALMOST SEEN EVERY FIGHT OF HIS - PROBABLY THE BIGGEST FAN OF LACY HERE...
LACY VS TARVER - LACY WINS BY TKO 11
LACY VS CALZAGHE - LACY WINS BY TKO 9
LACY VS KESSLER - LACY WINS BY KO 6
LACY VS BEYER - LACY WINS BY TKO 4
ive been likin lacy since the vanderpool fight. he doesnt fight like alot of ppl boxing now. u dont know when he's goin to knock out some` sorta like mike was in the 80s
:D I want to see this fight happen Tarver needs to answer the call out.
Yep Lacy's right. When Tarver called out Jones, Jones gave him a fight. Tarver needs to do the same for Lacy.
Here is what I'd like to see from Jeff Lacy next year.
Feb - Antonio Tarver at 175
June - Joe Calzaghe at 168
October - Jermain Taylor at 160/168
If he did that and won all three, not only would he win fighter of the year, but he would also become the biggest guy in all of boxing.
I have just read in the newspaper in Denmark.Teampalle have offer Jeff Lacy $1.3 to fight Kessler in Denmark but Lacy said no thank`s.So i think it is not the money but Lacy are to scared to meet Kessler,because if Lacy loses to Kessler he is nothing in the US
lacy knows what he has to do and he's going for it. at least he's got balls and not ducking people. the only thing with lacy and tarver is the height difference and tarver's jab. but anybody who watched tarver jones III knows that if lacy lands a bomb the fights gonna be over soon.
The fact that he talks a lotta garbage. But what the hell, boxing needs more exciting blown up fights.
He does not talk alot of trash...yes alittle more lately but nothing compared to some guys like.....UMMM tarver for instance.How else is going to get these guys in the ring.
The fact that he talks a lotta garbage.
how bout you tell me he can't back it up? plus it's a little hypocrital when you got the guy (Tarver) callin out heavyweights..
I hope they do fight, so Lacy can find out that Tarver is alot stronger than he looks, strong enough to control Lacy.
... :rolleyes: did you watch Roy Jones Jr. vs. Antonio Tarver 3?
