Are Lacy great,hell no,he are protected and overrated: A look at Lacy’s last four Title defenses:
Scott Pemberton (29-3) who hadn’t fought in a year and hadn’t beaten a top ten guy since Omar Sheika (if you considered Sheika a top-ten guy when they fought). The behavior of the referee was controversial to anyone who noticed the subtle way he pinned Pemberton to the canvas with his knee upon stopping the fight. Pemberton protested the stoppage before accepting the loss and what had to be his best payday ever.
Robin Reid (38-4), who was suddenly ranked at #1 on boxrec.com right before he was slated to face Lacy. How do you justify Reid being given a Title shot when he hadn’t beaten a string of top contenders? Reid is a scrappy fighter, who lost to Sven Ottke (32-0), then went on to beat Brain Magee (22-0), following with a win over Ramdane Serdjane (17-16) before making himself
available to Jeff Lacy, who won when Reid’s corner threw in the towel. Though Reid had a snowballs chance in hell to win the bout, he protested his corner’s decision to stop the fight.
Rubin Williams (26-1) was good against lousy competition, which makes up 90% of his resume. In November of 2002, he fought a man with a record of 58 Wins and 238 Losses! There’s no way he deserved a title shot when his last five fights were against unknown fighters with dubious records. That fight ended in a TKO when the ref stopped it after Lacy landed a series of unanswered shots in the seventh round. Williams, who gave Lacy one of the toughest fights I’ve seen him in, suddenly fell apart in the seventh, almost as if on schedule.
Omar Sheika (26-6). How in the world does a guy who loses four of his last seven fights get a major Title shot? Was it because he beat James Buster, who just lost three of his last five? I’m sure it had more to do with Sheika having a recognizable name more than his qualifications. Like Pemberton, Sheika can surprise you with a quality, ‘blue collar’ effort once in a while. Unfortunately, Sheika is incapable of throwing a punch and blocking a shot at the same time and is considerably one-dimensional. Sheika won a fair share of the early rounds against Lacy and it turned out to be a close fight that went the distance and rendered Lacy the winner by UD 12.
Five fights ago, Lacy fought his first unbeaten opponent, Vitali Tsypko (13-0) and the fight was stopped and called a No Decision after Tsypko suffered a cut caused by a head butt. They never settled things with a rematch.
Lacy is a big Star because boxing has no legitimate structure or administration. There’s no real ranking system
Lacy are built up to undefeated status fighting hand picked opponents
Fuck you and I suppose Kessler has faced a whole bunch of better guys????Lacy KO Kessler within 8............
Truth is he is the best SMW in the world and will prove it soon........I would love to see him fight Kessler too.
yeah I have read a little about him he looks promising.......why do people think Lacy can't box he has a great jab when he uses it and can punch with both hands.......I think his defense only lacks because he has not needed it thus far he simply over powers everyone people are going to see him look better and better get ready.
not taking anything away from kessler, but kessler's unproved, lacy's not. we know what lacy can do, and we know whats gonna happen when he gets in the ring with calfaggy.
lacy by TKO.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHA
:nonono::nonono::nonono:
yes lacy is great.of corse hes not going to have an outstanding rewsume, hes young. his upcominbg fight hes going after the #1 supermiddleweight. than he'll be going after kesler, taylor, and tarver. give him a brake
No we don`t know whats gonna happen when he gets in the ring with Joe Calzaghe,it will be Lacy biggest Fight ever,not like those bum he has fought so far
ur thinking of calfaggy who has been fighting the bums.
the problem here is that its blatently obvious that you went to boxrec to find all this out and didnt see any of these fights
I have see these fight`s and i still say Lacy protected and overrated,maybe i change my attitude to Lacy then and if he beat Joe Calzaghe,but i think Calzaghe ko Lacy in 8

The comparisons were not to prove Bute is better NOW since he beat the fighters the other guys fought. It was to show how early in his career he fought them and the potential he got. No 168lbs boxers will fight him now anyway. Why would they fight some 15-0 15ko guy whos not top ranked and mostly unknown to the public.
Let`s Bute fight guys like Anthony Mundine,Robin Reid,Mario Veit,Danny Green ,Librado Andrade,Carl Froch,Rudy Markussen or fighter with a pulse,not like those bum he has fought so far,then we can talk about how good he is
well, jangeorg are not making a very convincing arguement when are write like this. Ah, the joys of noobies with ignorance.

:haha:
Lacy is an oversized pieace of shit with no boxing skills. All you have to do is jab him all day and he wont be able to do shit.
lol, then step in that ring, pump out your jab for a constant 12 rounds and come back to us with your result...I mean it IS that easy right? have you boxed?
I im not from Germany,Denmark has never been a part of Germany.Denmark are a Kingdom
Ah a little ashamed of your German heritage I see...dont worry I understand we can call you Danish if you like.

Lucian Bute will beat Lacy. He did better vs every fighter he fought who had fought Lacy(Wiggins KO2 vs KO8 for Lacy), Calzaghe(Salem KO8 vs UD for Calzaghe) and Kessler(Thobela KO4 vs UD for Kessler). He hits hard and is a way better boxer than Lacy.
And Kessler beat Thobela in 2002, while bute faced him in nearly 2005(2004-12-03)

apparently you have a lot to learn
btw, lacy beat wiggens in 2003, while bute faced him in 2005. in this 2 year span, wiggens has lost five times.(he went 4-5) lacy was the first of five, bute the last of the five. no great accomplishpment here from bute
