    Mate if you can't answer an incredibly simple question then just say that

    It's ok to concede that you were talking nonsense.

      Your delusion is mind blowing. You think because YOU don't think his opponents were tough credible guys, that that's the reality. Meanwhile, you can't box, so who gives a **** ass what you think? You think YOUR ignorant, assinine opinion is the standard by which boxers are judged to be credible or not, and you have never boxed a day in your life? And you want to form an entire argument based around your dumb ass worthless opinion? Come on, take that lame bs somewhere else lol

        It should be King Floyd. He beat Hatton the British.

          I’m asking you mate You are the one the made the claim. Is there a reason after now 6 times of asking you’ve still failed to give an answer to an incredibly simple question?

          Ad Hominem arguments are not going to work here, friend. It’s not a good look.

          Shall we try again?

          What did Jeff Lacy do to show he was a "bad dude"? It's not a trick question. It's an extremely simple question to answer.

          Who did he beat in his pro career to have you form this opinion?

            You can't break down Joes resume without sounding like a total hater but the reality is its all smoke and mirrors and people these days don't like uncomfortable truths.
            Roy, B-Hop, Eubank Sr was all very old and past it.
            I give him credit for Kessler - His best win imo but it gets overlooked because he's not a legend/elite but he was undefeated and a solid world class fighter in his prime.
            Beating Roy, Eubank Sr etc at that stage means nothing, they are just names. Sure B-Hop went on to have a little success after but I don't even think Joe won that fight. I can't make a case for him winning.
            Jeff Lacy is quite possibly the biggest hypejob in the history of the sport - Struggled with Omar Sheika which I think debunks Joe ruining him, even afterwards he was so bad he made an ancient, shot to bits Roy look as good if not better than he did even at his peak lol

            I thought he lost to both B-Hop & Reid.

            There is probably a literal 20-25 of the most premature stoppages you'll ever seen on his record. Not just premature but the type of British stoppage you're just left asking yourself wtf


            I don't know how you can make a case for him being the greatest British fighter, he hasn't even got the best resume at the weight.
            Its putting far too much stock into undefeated records.

              I think he does rank quite highly but I am not sure how high exactly.
              I've never seen such a protected fighter and the level of cherrypicking. His resume is very thin.

              He spent 10yrs or more defending his title in small hall shows vs absolute nobodies in almost total obscurity until he fought Lacy on ITV and nobody in the UK even really knew who either was, they was just being sold a product in real time. How can a UK fighter be a world champion for 10yrs and be unknown over here?

                You my friend, are literally too dumb to chat with. I know your woman cheats on you constantly with the neighbor behind your back, or your man, which is most likely what you're into. You're incredibly flea-brained. Your level of ****** is beyond measurement

                  Mate shut the fuck up you daft cunt

                  What do you think you look like, you melt? Can’t answer a simple question and defend a position that YOU made the claim for. You look pathetic.

                  Are your parents dead yet? If not, they should be just for breeding your pathetic waste of a life.

                  Now either answer the question and defend your position or shut your mouth you clown.

                    Oh now you're butt hurt. Because your lady gave her box away to the neighbor. And you wonder how I knew. It's obvious. Back to your dumb question. The answer is, every man he fought was credible. There are no bums in boxing. I don't see boxing through the same lens as casual fans like yourself, who use words like "hypejob" and "he got exposed", and "he's a bum", etc. Any man who steps through those ropes is far more of a man than any armchair critic could ever hope to be. So Lacy was a bad man because he made it to the Olympics and to the pros and won a world championship. And because he put opponents to sleep in devastating fashion. Guys that maybe you don't rate, but you have no background to rate anything. Your opinion is worth less than monopoly money, because you never had the courage to lace up and get punched in the face. Again, Lacy was a bad man because of his journey, his accomplisments, and of course, his left hook. He won some and lost some to people who were better on the night they fought, and possibly on any night, and that's boxing in a nutshell. It doesn't diminish who he was and still is, in my book. You have your opinion and I have mine. Now go nitpick someone else and try to get your girlfriend back

                      You’re the clown who started making personal ad hominem arguments because you can’t answer a simple basic question, you dumb cunt.

                      You’ve still yet to answer it. If you can’t answer the question just say you can’t answer the question. Don’t chat total nonsense instead with non arguments and fallacious points. You just look like more of an idiot then you already do.

                      You’ve made the claim Jeff Lacy is a “bad dude”. You’ve laughably attempted to support that claim by saying he was a world champion. So all title holders are bad dudes then, is your point. Nice one

                      How many ranked fighters did Jeff Lacy beat? Oh yeah Zero. That’s not a “bad dude” in the grand scheme of the boxing world. Sorry to break it you. Thats why you failed to answer a simple question on seven attempts you melt.

                      In the unlikely chance you have kids, are they dead too? I sincerely hope so. A brain dead cunt like you shouldn’t be breeding, it’s not fair on them or the rest of us to breed your idiocy.
