    Will the place of birth play a factor in Reid-Lacy?

    No, I don't mean the UK/US thing - don't be daft. I mean the specific location. I know some first-rate boxers have come from Florida, but living in the sunshine state ain't exactly a way to get the killer instinct, is it?

    But Reid's from Merseyside... that's a place where all the kids learn to steal car hubcaps by the age of three. (Apologies to anyone from Merseyside... it must be terrible for you).

    I'm really looking forward to this match-up (especially as I've got money riding on it) and want to see what will happen when Lacy gets tested.

    Lacy's tenacity is going to overwhelm Reid, who have never faced a serious American threat.

      Is there a difference between a serious threat and a serious American threat?

        Yes. Because fighters who are: born, trained, and reside in the United States of America a.k.a. Mecca of boxing, and are above the middleweight limit, are superior in the ring in comparison to everyone else. With the exception of Lennox Lewis that is.

        To answer your question: Yes. Residency plays a huge factor in this matchup.

              Seriously... anyone who says "owned" is owning themselves, because it's such a lame thing to say. Didn't you used to have a sense of humour once, Runw?

              What have I started? Mind you, JuyJuy is getting boring, I'll admit.



              BUT - to return to the original (not entirely serious) question, **** all this "*********" bull****, I'm talking about specific geographical locations. Surely, say, a boxer has a better chance of becoming a top boxer being born in the South (Ali) or the Bronx (Tyson) than someone from, say, Florida? (Roy Jones Jr... talented, but not exactly possessed of huge balls, is he?)

                  It won't matter. It will be a total annihalation by Lacy.
