    A big HELL no. Great guy, solid fighter, but lost in his first REAL big step up in his career and never fought the same again, mostly due to injuries. Showed lots of heart though.

        No but he should be remembered as one of the most talented fighters of all time in his prime.

          This can't be a serious question. What has Lacy done to make you think he is anywhere close to being all time anything?

              Now that he has officially retired I can finally put him in my top 10 p4p of all time. I don't think he is better than Sugar Ray Robinson, more talented maybe but he does not quite match the accomplishments.
              It's close though with his big wins over Omar Sheika, Syd Vanderpool and Peter Manfredo.

              The argument is whether his talent puts him over Armstrong's and Greb's accomplishments or not. I think yes.

                  Jeff Lacy never did anything apart from receive a first class beating from Joe Calzaghe.
