Why Not? IV: Jermain Taylor vs. Jeff Lacy

[AntonTheMeh]

First Off I Like Jermaine But I Think He's Gonna Lose.there Going After The Money You Heard Jermaine He's Probably Gonna Fight Tito Like I've Said Before If Tito Gets By Roy Which Is A Supermassive if They'll Fight.if He Goes After Joe Calzaghe He'll Lose.

If Taylor loses he won't have money fights anywhere.
If Taylor wins, he would want an "easier" fight than the Cal/Kessler winner at 168 before challenging them.

Makes sense to me.

Naw i see it like this Jeff Lacy doesnt even deserve to fight in the same sate as Taylor, Jermaine has been racking up big win after big win ugly or not his done it.... When on the other hand Lacy's biggest win is his biggest disappointment and i say that becasue he did get bank from the Joe C fight but he also got his ass whooped... If Taylor loses he does need a few warm-ups for the 168 but 1. he aint gonna lose 2. Lacy would need 3-4 fights before even thinking about Taylor and 3. Taylor aint gonna lose

i didnt see lacys last fight.. all i kno is he was severly injured.. thats why he has a long layoff.. for those who say **** lacy, go educate urselfs and see the severity of his injury.. most fighters dont come back from that type of shoulder injury. hes being SMART by letting it completely heal. so far so good with him.. hell prolly fight in november..

hes young.. and i think him and taylor would be a good fight.. he comes on strong after the 6th and thats wen taylor fades..

some ppl here are ****in ******ed man. ****

I think almost no matter the surrounding circumstances (Taylor coming off a loss, Lacy coming off lackluster tune-ups, whatever), this fight would sell both at the gate and get good ratings on HBO WCB.

But then again, I guess I'm partial, since I started the thread.

[cupcrazy01]

Those are hypotheticals, by the way, because I am picking Taylor to win tomorrow.

But even with a win, I think Lacy as a first fight at 168 is a great idea for Team Taylor.

Lacy would have time to get in a tune-up or two...

A couple years back, I thought this would be a future p4p dream matchup. Now it's a main event, but not much more...

[Fox McCloud]

I like Jeff Lacy, but he lacks boxing skills. And now he lacks confidence, as well as a working shoulder.

Taylor would get a 119-109 UD if Lacy showed up with all he has left.

120-108 any other night.

**** a Jeff Lacy he hasnt fought in almost a year he got his ass whooped by Calzaghe and well his last fight basically sums up his career a talent dude who seems to be detererating right in front of our eyes... Taylors money fights at 168 are with the likes of Joe C, Kessler a rematch with Winky, a set weight with Chad Dawson or something along those lines if Jeff wants to fight anyone it needs to be a bum a rock and a hard place cuz i think dudes finished for the time being+

lacy was whooping the **** out of that guy before his rotator cuff ****ed up during the fight. The first 3 rounds, he was beating the ever living **** out of that guy like it was nothing and that guy he was fighting was no bum.
