Given Lacy's past performances since the Cal fight, would you let him fight Taylor?

feel bad for Lacy and everything, but physically, he just cant compete like he used to anymore. I hope he doesnt get hurt in this fight. Im going for Taylor of course, but dont want to see a serious boxing related injury occur.

Lacy has not looked good at all in his last couple of performances, i would not put him in with Taylor.

It's fine with me. Lacy gets a good pay-check and a chance to see if he has anything left in the tank.

I agree. I also see it as Lacy might get a fire back in his belly with the Taylor opportunity. He very well could make a fight of this if he gets motivated enough. His last few fights it seemed like he was just going through the motions.

[Zocalo]

Hell no. He should be looking into fighting someone like Miranda,Adrande, and etc. Guys who are the litmus tests of being title worthy.

Yes because of 2 reasons:

1. If I was on Lacy's management team I would want to get paid and Taylor is probably the best money out there for him.

2. Lacy isn't going to be around much longer and so might as well let him collect his money.

Lacy is only doing it for the money. It's a disgrace when boxing is trying to rebuild it's good name. They could put someone in with Taylor who will actually go to fight and make it a good match but instead they just put an on the verge of retirement Lacy in there to take a pounding in a very boring fight and after that he lands a big fat pay check for his troubles.

There is no denying that Lacy has diminished as fighter since his loss to Calzaghe and his shoulder surgery. He no longer looks like the Lacy that was ferociously ripping left hooks knocking his opponents out left and right. He was less than stellar in a fight where he struggled with Peter Manfredo and was SERIOUSLY hurt against C level fighter, Epifano Mendoza. Most can agree that in a fight where Lacy was supposed to show that he was back to form against Mendoza, it could have easily gone the other way.

Taylor on the other had, TO ME at least, seems more dangerous now since his 2 losses to Pavlik. He was given a reality check by Pavlik's strong right hand in the first fight, but Taylor adjusted and fought smarter in the second fight. Even though he lost the rematch, it was obvious that Taylor was determined and he made great adjustments. He may now posses the knowledge needed to utilize his best advantages more efficiently, but of course we may not know this for sure until he fights someone else. But i do think thats the direction of which he's heading.

So with this in mind, seeing how Taylor improved in his second fight with Pavlik and how Lacy has diminished since his loss to Calzaghe, would you as Lacy's camp allow him to go into a fight as dangerous as the Taylor fight?

lacy is clearly on the downslide but he deserves to make some money off of his name. also taylor doesn't fight well enough to give lacy the same kind of beating calzaghe did.

[Elvizzz]

Never... What a mismatch at this point... Useless fight

[tntkid]

Lacy could cop a worse beating here than he did from Calzaghe. Makes you wonder what the **** Lacy's management are thinking???
