Jeff Lacy Calls it His Year

[dumdane]

If he cleans out the divison by beating Calzaghe and Kessler this year, it would most definitely be his year...

It definitely would be his year, if...
But that's a pretty big IF there.

Does anyone think that there is someone out there who can beat Lacy? I know some swear its Joe C but from what I hear from the majority of this site it doesnt seem very probable. So who can beat him?

People have questions about Joe C - bc he's not getting younger and it's been a while since he's faced real top competition. On the other hand noone has faced better competition if you look at the entire career - including Lacy (or for that matter Kessler - who i support). If Joe C is anywhere close to his best form against Lacy i'd put money on him. Problem is i'm in the woods about his form. Then you got a fighter like Kessler who in my opinion got better skills in every department other than Power - than Lacy has.
I think based on what we know now it's a fair estimate to give Calzaghe a 50-50 chance of beating Lacy. Kessler's chances i'd personally rate even higher.
So to answer your question. Yes there are ppl who believe there are fighters who can beat Lacy. Could be others than the two mentioned too.
