Jeff Lacy is finished, he can't compete with Elite fighters anymore thanks to the horrific beating Calzaghe gave him.
I do think Lacy will kill Manfredo though because Manfredo is a bum who looked terrible in his last fight against another bum David Banks.
Lacy's victory over Manfredo will set up a crossroads fight with Edison Miranda. Miranda will KO/TKO Lacy in a FOTY and Lacy will probably retire to avoid ending up like Rid**** Bowe.Comment

Lacy wasn't knocked out. outclassed and beat the **** up- yes. but not knocked out.
i think everyone is being a bit quick to write jeff off. he can still do some damage but i don't see him beating kessler or pavlik. but that one loss to joe i doubt ruined him the way people act like. he got a thick reality check.
manfredo will get KO'd. after that he could fight miranda and possibly win that fight too. jeff is a contender until he is put to sleep as far as im concernedComment

Lacy is a strong fighter. Hes not in the top 5 of the division though. He has beaten one recognized fighter in Reid.
Heres my top 5:
Calzaghe
Kessler
Mundine
Froch
Bute
I rate Jeff Lacy close to Froch and Bute but he is nowhere near the top 3 at the moment. He needs some strong wins. But hes a limited fighter, talked up because hes an American.Comment
