      Isn't he fighting Roy in November? Didn't he just fight B-Hop? Are they not good enough?!? I hope and will bet my money that Roy wins in impressive fashion!! Who has Prescott fought that has done anything significant? Amir Khan??????? Khan has been fighting more overaged bums than Prescott.:

        Lacy was a hard hitter, Kessler had good power, Byron Mitchell was known as a hard puncher. Kessler, Hopkins and Eubank were also all very skilled, all much better fighters than Prescott.

          I'm talking KO power boys. Of course Joe has defeated better fighters than Prescott but how many has he beat that have power in their hands like Prescott does. Pcott has like a 95% ko rate so who has Joe beat that can punch like that. Lacy can be said because he did have a high KO rate when fighting bums and you can argue Prescott is a bum aswell but I don't agree. I think Prescott will have a better career than Lacy.

            Your criticism of Lacy is that all of his KO's came against bums.

            You have still failed to point out anyone on Prescott's resume who is not a bum... or does not have a glass chin (Khan).

            I will contend with confidence that Syd Vanderpool>>>>>>>>>>>>>anyone on Prescott's resume.

            I'm the one calling you out, so answer my post, specifically the Syd Vanderpool part. Thanks.

              Well comparing the fighters beat doesnt matter. I wanted to debate that Calzaghe has never beat a guy that has power like Prescott. It's more less that Amir Khan has already taken more risk than Joe when it comes to taking on a hard puncher. You could say Prescott is just like Lacy though, king of ko'n bums.

                As for Vanderpool he may be greater than anyone of Prescott's resume BUT I dont feel Lacy proved that he is very powerful by Ko'n him. Syd had been KO'd before Lacy got him. Terry Seay ruined Syd Vanderpool. I dont know much about this guy so Im just joshing.

                  You just conceded that Lacy and Prescott had the same KO results against bums... I think that proves the point that Joe stepped up just as much if not more than Amir, and I think even more, because of how hyped Lacy was, and how he was favored to win against Calzaghe.

                    Robin Reid, never hurt or put down in a fight, ever, Lacy puts him down 4 times and the fight is stopped. There was nobody denying Lacy’s power pre Blow fight

                    Over…

                      That points discredited, because they picked on the basis of having a good record with a high ko, but at the same time not being a legitimate threat.

                      If Brescott was known in the world as a puncher, then fair play Amir.

                      Until then he and you can **** off before you pull stuff like this our your arse.
