The biggest problem with this guy is that he relies on his punching because he simply can't box. I don't see Manfredo as a great boxer, although not at all bad, but he outboxed Lacy. A former champion who was favored against the reigning undisputed champ could've lost to Manfredo if he wouldnt have traded with him! I think that's disgraceful.

    Miranda would systematically rip him apart, although not in a Calzaghe fashion and Lacy's got a great chin so I don't see him getting KOed.
    Manfredo is a lil cry baby ***** that has no skills!!! David banks gave him alot of trouble... with roach in his corner or not he still going to be a nobody!! I think I would want to see lacy-miranda... instead of Lacy-tarver. Tarver jus wants to fight lacy cuase he thinks hes an easy opponent and he gots the name.. He's jus ducking dawson... Dawson would end his career and tarver knows that..

      i don't think anyone said he is a bum... he's stil a good fighter but he's not what he used to be
      that's a shame...

          Actually, I said hes a bum, because he is, Calzaghe ruined him.

                I think Miranda would bring more out of Lacy than Manfredo did, either that or Jeff'll be tasting the canvas. Either way, should be an entertaining fight.

                  I'll show him some respect when he shows me some boxing, until then, hes just a bum who got his chance against the best and got outclassed like the rest.
                  Respect is due to take a beating like that like a man and still come back thats all I'm saying.The last few years have thrown curve ball after curveball at him and he keeps on swinging respect is due on that note alone......Also if it weren't for Lacy having the balls to come waaay over there to fight Calzaghe....nobody would still want to fight calzaghe like they do now and we all know Joe blow wasn't leaving his little home anytime soon so when I say show some respect I mean it....you should.He opened the doors for Calzaghe to get the credit he was due.....Calzaghe would still be fighting nobodies in Wales if it were'nt for Lacy's courage.Lacy made Calzaghe a superstar and got him paid like he deserves.

                    Theres a fine line between courage and ******ity. Jeff Lacy crossed that line and then some.

                    And he didnt really "come back", hes been scared to throw too many punches in case someone opens him up again like Joe did, Jeff Lacy is shot, he should retire like a man before he gets hurt, and thats showing no disrespect, he really isnt the fighter he once was.

                      in the Vitaly fight he should have not even fought his shoulder was just that bad... he hasn't fought in a long time and still managed to pull a win over mafredo

                      i agree that joe "ruined" him but lacy is no bum... atleast for now
