Exclusive: Jeff Lacy eyes Peter Manfredo Jr. as his return bout. HBO has endorsed the matchup and currently finalizing the legalities. They are currently searching for a date that does not conflict with upcoming Mega bouts.
He's gonna get a belt sooner or later. He can beat pretty much everyone in the division right now except Calzaghe and Kessler. Calzaghe will beat Kessler and he will retire one or two fights later leaving the at least one belt for Lacy to take. If Kessler beats Calzaghe, I don't see Lacy getting a belt.
If he does come back i think all his so called fans will come back when he shows why he was so popular as he's fucking exiting to watch as he hits so damm hard. Hope he can come back and win a title again. :boxing:
It's just crazy how many boxing fans wrote him off already.
Its funny how many so called boxing "fans" don't understand the sport. Not every boxer is "perfect" if there is such a thing. I mean come one even ali, frazier, robinson, etc. have had bad losses. But what did they do? They bounced back and redeemed themselves. I just don't understand some of the people that post on this website.
I think Jeff got many more good fights in him, if he can go a few more fights and build his momentum up a little bit he can most definitely win a major title, I can see Jeff coming back and beating 3 out of the top 5 in his class and that says a lot for him especially after such a bad loss, Calzaghe is that needle out the haystack ya dig, he ain't the longest current reigning champion today by coincidence dogz he's the truth so for Lacy to lose to him doesn't really take away from the way I view Lacy, he took him on early, he tried to do basically something like Jermain except Jermain won, however look at the opponents, Bernard ain't no Calzaghe, he doesn't onslaught you like Cal does so Lacy had it harder, even still he finishes on his feet, he showed heart like none other yo with both his eyes cut and him being all fucked up, in a position he's never been in his whole life rolled up into 12 rounds I would say he dealt with it, he survived so hell yea I say Lacy can return, I always say you can never count out a puncher, you never know what shot they will land, luck is there sometimes so I'll never count Lacy out, look at Glen Johnson ya feel me.. 100
i hope so too. i still think jeff lacy is a good fighter regardless of his loss to Calzaghe. If anything he most likely learned from his experiance and he'll hopefully come back as a better fighter. In any professionaly sport when your undefeated your gonna come across that person or team thats gonna have your number. The important thing is to learn from that loss and come back better than you were before. That IMO is what makes an athlete great, being able to bounce back. I'm confident that Jeff Lacy will do as such and I wish him the best of luck.

He took time to recover from the loss. I just hope the lay-off does not affect him.

I don't understand why just because he had one bad loss he's damaged goods. Some people make it seem like all of a sudden a fighter is supposed to stay undefeated. He lost to a good fighter. theres nothing wrong with that. give the man a chance to bounce back first before you completely write him off.

who has won every fight except one.. give him more credit
he is a good fighter, with limited skills.. but he punches like a truck.. hes a hunter. he hunts fighters down and wears them out.. i like his style, and he was quickly turning into a superstar be4 he fought calzaghe..
True story
Jeff Lacey has to learn how to pace himself and use his jab,his boxing skills are limited and he has not shown any growth,he's really just a slugger with a punchers chance.

lacy could win his old belt back, he could beat berrio. only problem is, by the time jeff gets back into it, bute will have that belt, and he's more like calzaghe than berrio is. lacy beat everyone he fought except calzaghe, i'd say that makes lacy pretty damn good. he was beating tsypko's ass again before he tore his shoulder
Lacy wasn't knocked out. outclassed and beat the fuck up- yes. but not knocked out.
i think everyone is being a bit quick to write jeff off. he can still do some damage but i don't see him beating kessler or pavlik. but that one loss to joe i doubt ruined him the way people act like. he got a thick reality check.
manfredo will get KO'd. after that he could fight miranda and possibly win that fight too. jeff is a contender until he is put to sleep as far as im concerned
Jeff Lacy is finished, he can't compete with Elite fighters anymore thanks to the horrific beating Calzaghe gave him.
I do think Lacy will kill Manfredo though because Manfredo is a bum who looked terrible in his last fight against another bum David Banks.
Lacy's victory over Manfredo will set up a crossroads fight with Edison Miranda. Miranda will KO/TKO Lacy in a FOTY and Lacy will probably retire to avoid ending up like Riddick Bowe.
Maybe the poll should of been about how Manfredo is going to die.
Hopefully your right and jeff's in a good mental state.
by the way do any of you know the surposed date of this fight?
