haha yeah fear
i think a "redemption" fight for both fighters would be good
tarver vs. lacy but i think lacy should move to light heavy for the fight because no way tarver can push it down to 168.
Now, that would be a perfect idea!
Can't wait to see Lacy once more back in the ring been to alot off his bouts before the Calzaghe bout, Reid,OMar and co just stick him in their with a guy thats going to hold notnin back u can't stick him in their with a push over who is going in their for a beating from the first bell rings u cant do tht with Lacy, i think the Calzaghe beat down could really move Lacy up to the next level if dan birmingham works on his weaknesses which he has alot, he has got a great chance with that power behind him he just got to learn other aspect off the game its all about his power with lacy but again u always need a plan B when urr plan a dont wokr and with calzaghe tht showed.
yeah no doubt
but i still think a tarver fight isnt out of the question for his next one if not the one after because tarvers really the only other major fighter out there for him unless taylor moves up and we all know we dont wanna see him against joe again
oh and on another note,,, do you guys think that taylor will move up soon? hes pretty big
move up soon? i doubt it.
will he eventually? most likely.
what i think hes gonna do is what i want him to do: take a small name fight, and beat the guy, either by stoppage or by a wide margin on the cards. he needs to rebuild his confidence. after a humiliating fight with calzaghe, his confidence must've been shattered irreparably.

I predicted Calzaghe to win also, and I agree with what you're saying.
EDIT: Out of fear that is.

Jeff will be back better than ever. hE will go back to basics, working behind a shotgun jab and picking his shots.He wont be doing no medicine ball throws or stupid shit in training, but working on technique more than conditioning now
Honestly I Think Lacy Is Gonna Come Back A Lot Stronger, I Think He Has Learned A Shotload From The Calzaghe Massacre And Becuz Of It Will Be A Lot Better Boxer And Not Just A Puncher, Also One Thing I Know About Jeff, And This Is Froma Guy Who Picked Calzaghe To Win Is That, He Has The Heart Of A Lion And Will Probley Ask For A Rematch With Joe Sometime Down The Line... So For All Of Oyu Who Where Big On Him At First Saw Him Get Hi Sass Whooped And Are Now Doubtful On His Future You Will Learn Something Vauable When He Returns And Thats Dont Turn Yourback On What Youve Seen Becuz Of Something You Witnessed! And Ya Lacy Would Ko Dat Dude Named Tarver
I like the idea of him changing his style up a bit. Hes kind of like Taylor is in regards to winning on just pure athleticism. I really hope when he comes back hes more of a boxer/puncher.
He has very good pop in his jab but does not use it nearly enough.I think his major flaw and problem will always be his footwork.He is just not quick on his feet he plodds along.He can get away with it because of his power if he just used his jab more and tightened up his defense.

He will fight Oct 7 the date is slated for him on Showtime.No opponent yet but alot of buzz locally has been concerning a Lacy/tarver fight but I think he should fight at least one tune-up before coming back against a guy like Tarver.Although Tarver looked like shit against Hopkins he is still a World Class fighter and could pose a big threat.I would like to see him come back against someone like Joey Spina whom he could KO the shit out of but is unbeaten and thinks he is a bad ass.Manfredo would be a nice opponent as well but I guess we have to wait and see. :boxing:
