JEFF LACY looked more like a SHOT fighter then anything else...

im not giving up on him but it looks like we got the 2nd coming of vargas in lacy.........

Lacy did look bad, but we need to see him fight again before we can say he's shot. SInce the Calzaghe fight he looks like he ballooned up to 220 pounds with also means he wasnt spending much time in the gym. The weight loss for this fight and the rust from not fighting or training for awhile plus the fact that he is coming off a devastating loss might explain why he looked so bad because he is working out the kinks. If he looks anything like this in his next fights though he is done.

I Hate To Say It, Lacy Is My Guy, But He Lost, Bottom Line, He Faded, Yeah The Arm Was Hurt. After 3rd He Did Not Throw A Real Left Hand, But Before That He Did Not Throw 1 @ All , Looked Like A Right Hand Ass Whoop Contest, But Its All Goo You Know How It Goes , Ring Rust, Mental & Physical **** But He Lost N He No It

The question is "Shot" or "Overrated." Personally I thought the latter. I know his camp and SHowtime did a good job carefully selecting his fights and hyping him as the "Middleweight Mike Tyson" but I never bought it. Look at it this way, the one time he's really stepped up he got freaking pummeled. Afer his performance tonight, the jury still has to be out if he's champ material.

I said it the moment the Calzaghe fight ended: Lacy is done

HAHA and the BEST part is that CALZAGHE DONE HIM OVER!!!

[Animal Squabbs]

I think he was really overhyped though. I never really liked him and he struggled and had close fights with Sheika, Grant, Vanderpool, Thompson.

Lacey seems over hyped. Kinda like Jermaine Taylor..They should both be layin out their opponents, but they don't. They should be fightin with Quartey's spirit or somthin..

now thats what you call a home town verdict!...he lost by atleast 2 points!.. I was cheering for him...but its obvious Joe showed his weaknessto the rest of the world...now anyone who fights lacy will use that fight as a blueprint...Lacy needs to learn some more skills...to beable to adapt to different styles....I wouldnt give up on him just yet,he could stillfind himself with a Belt and a decent record and a whole heapof cash by the time he retires...and with all that you could hardly call him a failure...but he'snever going to be destined for immortality....like ali,sugar ray,roy jones even tyson!....he simply isnt skilled enough....but i do hope he sorts it out..he doesnt seem to much of a **** like alot of other boxers

[moochi]

i'll give the guy more time...........its very hard though as boxing is all about confidence........lacy got his confidence built up over a period of time with many fights........so he only knew, better and better of himself......

now he knows that he got clocked bad and is trying to rebuild............it could take him 4-5 fights to get back on track......perhaps he can fight a few bums every 3 months or so and build up his confidence within a year or so to aim for the top again.
