Can we go ahead and call Lacy the man at 168?

    I know Ottke was given a ridiculous offer to fight Calzaghe and didn't take it. I don't know if Beyer has ever been offered a fight? There was earlier this year talks about fighting Kessler but suddenly Calzaghe claimed that Kessler was a big enough name outside of Denmark and then talked about facing Mundine after he had just lost to Kessler but then ended up facing a real supermiddleweight in Ashira.

    Despite this i would still say Calzaghe is number one at supermiddleweight due to his long "reign" as champion but he will soon have to do something if he wants to keep being number one. I personally favor Kessler to unity the division if anybody does it.

      I believe Joe will fight Lacy (eventually)but by the time it happens he will have the excuse of being too old if he gets beat.

      I think he would win but im starting to get bored with all the delay's and injuries etc

        Kessler has never refused to fight Joe Calzaghe, Joe Calzaghe has refused to fight Kessler

          OK... I don't usually get things wrong but I think I was confusing Kessler with someone else.

          Either way... Calzaghe is the man @168lbs, not Kessler/Beyer/or Lacy.

            Yes we can. Lacy is the man in the super middleweight devision. Also Lacy is not a great boxer & this just shows you how bad the super middleweight devision is.

              Well you can't even spell the words super middleweight division.

              Just beacause Lacy is America, doesn't make him the man at 168lbs. Who exactly has he beaten to be called that?
