Lacy at 21 seconds: "I got him"

Trainer: " I know you got him"

If he beats Kelly Pavlik or Chad Dawson before he retires then he has my respect.

I know everyone is getting sick and tired about everyone nut hugging joe so this will be my last post about him for quite sometime but seriously, this guy has to put up with so much **** and undeservedly. people doubt his skill daily on here and i honestly think if people didnt talk about him so much (i know, lol) he would be looked as better.

you only have to watch the lacy fight or even these rounds to realize what a special fighter he is, he gets way too much **** because of his nationality and race.

I think he is (or was) easily on par with toney and hopkins in his prime but rightfully below jones, maybe because he's european people dont like to admit it?

what respect does he deserve..hiding in wales his whole career then beating jeff lacey? ok who did lacey ever beat????? no damn body..why do you keep posting that video like lacey is an atg hall of famer..the first real american he fought was a 43 year old hopkins and he got put on his ass and won a SD against an old man.so please stop making yourself look dumb

Jeff Lacy is better than both. Didn't you see his incredible war against Rubin Williams?

He fought outside Wales a lot actually Captain Geography.

And of course, he put pen to paper on a fight with Hopkins in America 6 years ago.

only when calzaghe retires will he get the respect he deserves
