Tarver vs Lacy : who would be victorious?

[potatoes]

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.

Tarver was offered a fight by Calzaghe but cleverly priced himself out of the market. That is one way Tarver can claim that Calzaghe is "ducking" him. If Lacy offered Tarver a fight, the same thing is likely to happen. Tarver is grossly overrated and he knows it. All of the bravado and self promotion doesn't change a thing.

and you forgot that Tarver too has a better olypic resuma than Lacy

No I didn't forget it, my point is that Lacy in recent years has been regarded as a ****er which is true, however that style has left him limited as shown by Calzaghe.

With the injury and layoff I feel it would be better for him to look at honing the skills he undoubtedly has and therefore becoming a better all round fighter albeit less exciting.

Tarver to an extent already has this to his game!

Tarver is such a hard fighter to predict against. The man barely does enough to win fights but has the skills to win them thoroughly. He has stamina issues... He is, in my mind at least, a much better fighter than Lacy. I predicted Tarver KO but he could run out of gas and get KOed himself. I would have put Tarver points but hes bigger than Lacy and has some pop so Im thinking he will put him out.

I wouldnt be surprised if lacys bigger than tarver. Height wise tarvers taller but i heard when he's not fighting lacy walks around at 200 pounds plus, so lacy will be the physically bigger man.

tarver is almost a granpa.....and i can't stand him, in my eyes he wouldn't be able to keep up with today's youth

I dont think much of either of these guys. Both kinda a joke if you ask me.. Both were just overhyped and exposed... But Ill say tarver becaise of height and reach fighting smart... but id laugh if he got KO'd

Lacy's underrated since the calzaghe fight. Lacy will win by ko, but Lacy will not be looking for the one ko punch to end the night early for tarver, he will take his time and be patient. I think he ko's tarver in the 6th round.
