Lacy's letting the world know he's not scared of anyone, even the #1 p4p guy.
I like Lacy's chances against some of the bigger names at 168 and 175. I imagine if he's not content with the paydays and fame he gets by fighting 168 lb. IBF mandatories, he'll jump to 175. Too bad light heavyweight's somewhat barren right now, too.
But at least there are some recognizable names there that might up his payday above Rubin Williams status. Lacy-Calzaghe, Lacy-Woods, Lacy-Briggs, Lacy-Hoye, even because of how good the first fight was Lacy-Sheika II would be decent match-ups.
If Tarver would lose to Johnson again (I thought he won their first fight...), then Tarver would have lost 3 of his last 4 HBO fights and he might, to stay in the spotlight, take a Lacy fight on Showtime.
I think Jermain Taylor-Jeff Lacy could be the "Hopkins-Jones Jr II circa 2002" dream fight here in a few years...Hopefully this one might actually come off
I would love to see that fight to
hopefully this fight doesn't turn out to be another Jones vs. Tarver highly doubt it though
although it seems like the last three pay per view fights i've seen (jones tarver II, judah spinks II, and Tyson mcbride) turned out to be a huge upset for me
