    At least Tito became the first guy to destroy Mayorga in impressive fashion. That win is underrated I think. Kessler and Lacy haven't went on to do anything to top that.

        trinidad at middleweight is much better than kessler or lacy ever will be. if you want to pretend he's not then you are in denial.

          Lacy couldn't beat the blown up Jermain Taylor who has been beaten by Pavlik, Froch, and Abraham. And Joe deserves credit for this win?

              He beat 1 good opponent who went on to not accomplish much after, he also beat a journeyman.....oh and a blown up jmw...If you want to cite his record at ww fine he was accomplished jmw too he has some solid wins but his MW resume is far from impressive.

                lacy beat 1 top 10 guy his entire career before facing joe. and that was a very old robin reid. yet this is the guy that cements joe's greatness? ridiculous.

                    but it's far better than kessler or lacy's. 1 good win is better than beating a bunch of binmen like they did. just like manny's welterweight resume is much better than floyds. wow floyd fight judah, baldomir, hatton, marquez, and mitchell at welter. some decent fighters but nothing great. manny fought a real challenge.

                      And plus I hear more people than not saying Reid should have gotten the nod over Calzaghe even though I've never seen the fight.
