Tarver vs Lacy : who would be victorious?

[English Lion]

with the news of lacy getting back in to the training after recovering from his shoulder injury and tarver seeking to fight the dude at light heavyweight, who do you guys think would win , if a fight happened between the two? would lacy's ring rust be a factor? or would tarver just be no match for lacy's power?

Personally id go with a lacy win via an early knockout. Despite ring rust i think lacy has alot to make up for after his poor performance in his last fight (even though he did have the injury stoping his left hook). I think lacy wants to return with a **** to shake up the boxing world again and he would just have too much for tarver.

I think the Lacy myth has pretty much been disspelled. Tarver wins.

But Tarver looked like **** in his last fight. Like an old man. Lacy has the injury excuse at least.

I thought he did fine. I mean come on he won every round but 2 against a really game challenger.

I'm not sure Lacy will ever come back to be anything like he was, the injury was a bad one and the defeat to Calzaghe has to have taken its toll on his confidence.

Fighters like Lacy rely on fear, most of his opponents feared him before they fought because of his power, the Calzaghe defeat will have put not only doubt in Lacy's mind but in the mind of future opponents.

Tie that in with the injury and pit him against a talented fighter in Tarver and there can be only one winner for me.

I hope I am wrong as fighters like Lacy are much needed in the sport.

Tarver last performance was his usal style of putting his right hand forward.

I dont know but i tihnk Tarver is going to suprise people on how he is going to hanld Lacy and he has the power to back of Lacy.

Tarver is alway comes back stronge as for Lacy he didnt experince a good comeback

[No1]

Lacy by ko if he's similar to the lacy he was before the calzaghe fight.
I think Lacy should have a tune up fight before this as his ring rust may be a factor as well as him needing to get his confidence back.

He has an excuse, he IS an old man. In boxing terms anyway.

I think for Lacy to come back he will have to change his style slighty to incorporate his boxing skills.

I think the thing that most surprised me about the Calzaghe fight was the ease in which Calzaghe was able to make Lacy miss and look cumbersome.

It easy to forget that Lacy had a long and very successful amateur career and was in fact an Olympian.

For me he became too gung ho and relied on taking people out. When it didn't happen he became lost.

Talented guy, lets hope he can come back and show it again.
