The pre- and post- version of Jeff "LOL" Lacy

[Guest]

I still see this guy talked about on here, often dismissed as a "bum" because "he never went on to do anything after Calzaghe".

Never got that notion. People who say that... do they REALLY think someone would be the same physically - and, most importantly, MENTALLY - after they'd endured a one-sided 12 round slap down? People never seem to talk about the psychological side of the game, and seem surprised that Lacy's career was totally derailed. I think he was better than given credit for, post-Slapsie.

On the other side of the coin, pre-Slapsie he was LUDICROUSLY overrated. I came on here after seeing him score a feeble TKO over Pemberton where he looked DREADFUL. Slow, wide, easy to hit, missing badly with most of shots. In other words, a counterpuncher - or, in Joe's case, a counterslapper's - dream. Yet I log on, and he's "P4P top ten" with the performance, and I'm a "bias brit" for not giving him his "props".

Check my sig for an all-time classic.

Sounds like good'ole Lacy got slapped back down to reality.

I agree in many ways, though I saw him talked about today so I just wanted to muse on it. Sorry to interrupt the Maiiiii threads.

I feel sorry for Lacy. Even recently he's always got himself into great shape and was willing to come across the Atlantic for the biggest fight of his life. It's not his fault he was made out to be something he wasn't.

When I saw your reply I KNEW it'd be a screencap of the red K, probably with bottles - always the witty retort of the mentally unimaginative.

I wonder why people, when given red K, feel the need to tell the person who gave it to them, complete with pictorial evidence? Did you think I'd forgotten or something?

Wow, I feel put in my place now.
