I Saw Jeff Lacy’s Face… Now I’m a Believer

[Njord777]

this isn't like that though.

Every one knew Jones was going to win because Lacy has not only never been the same since the shoulder injury but is stylistically made for Roy.

People can talk about Lacy having power but he hasn't knocked anyone out since his fight prior to Calzaghe which was in 2005.

After the Calzaghe loss, he has struggled to win fights against average competition.

To many people Roy Jones Jr. was one of the most athletically gifted boxers in history who wasted prime years taking on average to below-average competition. There were many names he could have added to his resume that he chose not to.

If Roy Jones Jr. is a showman who outclasses average boxers with his speed than, in many ways, the old Roy Jones Jr. was back. If we want to acknowledge he was more than that, though, than he's still just a good 40 year old boxer with reflexes to make good fights with slower men.

why... he didnt look good against prince badi ajamu?

he didnt look good against anthony hanshaw?

he looked DECENT against tito trinidad.

all fighters much slower than him

Jeff lacy would knock out prince badi.

Jeff Lacy hasn't had a knockout win since 2005 and since then has struggled to beat the likes of Vitali Tsypko, Peter Manfredo Jr and Epifanio Mendoza.

He ain't knocking out anybody anymore.

Hanshaw was stylistically a tougher fight for Jones than Lacy was, Hanshaw was able to make Roy work alot harder than Lacy did and is overall a better fighter at this stage than Lacy.

ok u mentioned ONE of the 3 fighters...

how about prince badi ajamu... lemme guess lacy is worse than him

[Pugilistic™]

prince badis style was made for him

hanshaws style was made for him

trinidads style was made for him

he looked barely ok against badi

he lamost lost to hanshaw

he looked DECENT against trinidad

but he TKOS lacy, looking incredible... and thats 4 years after prince badi

Hanshaw wasn't made for Roy, he was able to take Roy out of his comfort zone by making him work.

I can't comment on the prince fight, i ain't seen it.

With Tito, he took the first four rounds off and i feel was slightly wary of Tito's power, I know Tito was totally outsized but with the power Tito displayed in his career, you have to be careful.

Once he knew he could deal with Tito's power, he toyed with him.

I just posted on that. look.

If you think Roys win over Lacy is something to talk about, your as delusional as Roy is. I love Roy, i'm just aware that he is never gonna back.

I noticed you have nothing to say about what i said on Hanshaw also.

I give Roy props for coming back from two brutal KO losses, I give him props for still being a good fighter in his 40s and i give him props for still having amazing handspeed.

I won't give him props for beating Lacy though, Lacy is done.

I will give Roy props for putting on a very good performance.

nobodys making out a lacy win to mean anything... its how he did it

i was under the impression jermain taylor is still close to an elite fighter... HE DIDNT DO THAT TO LACY

I can agree on that.

Taylor would never of been able to do what Roy done to Lacy because he doesn't have the stamina or the handspeed.

Roy still shows good stamina and amazing handspeed at this stage of his career.

Roy beat a shot bum who never did anything in the first place and now roy jones is back to his old self
