It is so funny! Lacy fans know only Lacy... And still call him #1 in the world..

I think Lacy would be humiliated against Brahmer and Froch, but hey.

You think too much unfortunately..........

[alt10ate]

I adapted my fighting style to calzaghes, and its actually effective.
and no its not "slapping"

[restless_438]

THREE guys. You forgot Kessler.

and Chad Dawson.. this is more of a division than just two guys.. way better than alot of other divisions right now in terms of talent.

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

Yeah, but Chad isn't THERE yet. Calzaghe and Lacy are the TWO 168 pounders that matter right now.

You've gotta be kidding. With Lacy, Kessler, and Calzaghe, this is one of the most entertaining and competitive divisions in boxing, without question. As a Lacy fan, I'm a little biased, but I do think he's the best in the weight class. A lot of casual fans are writing Calzaghe off, but he is very dangerous. He has tremendous hand speed, and is a very good fighter. I look for Lacy to win, but I don't think it will be nearly as easy as most people think. Mikkel Kessler looks to me to be the #2 guy in the division, so I'd love to see him take on Lacy. I think "Left Hook" would win, but it too would be a great fight. I would also like to see Kessler-Calzaghe. I think any of the three would tear Markus Beyer apart, so unification is possible, but it probably won't happen. Froch, Brahmer, Green, Mundine, pemberton, Manfredo, and others make this a very interesting and competitive division.

People have been saying that for as long as I've been watching Frochy, and that's since 1999. The guy went to the senior World championships in a very casual manner, having never taken training seriously, and the guy got to the semi-finals of the senior World championships with his hands by his waist (and was apparently robbed). Now, we all know that the Olympics are easy compared to the senior World championships. Frochy, with his hands by his waist, became the first guy from Britain to ever win a medal at the senior World championships. Say what you want about his hands being too low, but he was an elite amateur with little training and is now an undefeated pro who rarely gets hit. He's in the top 10 in his division, and he hasn't even been close to being wobbled at all yet.

It's going to be very hard to beat Froch - he's been blessed with a solid chin, swift reflexes and natural confidence. I say good luck to Jeff Lacy if he has the guts to finally face him (we all know that he chickened out of their fight in October 2000 in that USA-vs-England meet in Liverpool, after Frochy KTFO Rubin Williams).

Out of curiosity, are there any boxers outside of the UK that are any good in your eyes?

Or outside of Europe for that matter.
