Jeff Lacey had a good left hook and not much else, a hooker is only as dangerous as they can land that punch, without a jab or straight right it can be an impossible punch to land on someone highly skilled committed to taking it away.
Left hook specialists will always have trouble with a southpaw, it is a punch that can work but it is tricky to land because how a southpaw moves naturally away from that punch, if they can't be corralled it can't land.
Joshua has a mean straight right, which right there makes him a much more versatile fighter because that is a punch that works against both stances. So right there the comparison fails without having to dig deeper.
