How can anyone claim ownership of the words left hook? Besides, I only seen him fight once, against calzaghe and he never landed it once.

How can Left Hook be Lacy's trademark? It's the name of a punch. That's like someone trademarking right turn or some shit. It's also been used by many fighters before Lacy. GTFOH.

Same way a guy can try to claim ownership of the word "book".

$519M. Damn. I've never even heard of this product, but they are obviously doing well if dude can sue for them half a billion dollars I guess.

Jeff "Lawsuit" Lacy.

Boxers won't be allowed to throw 'left hooks' any more, it will have to be 'looping punches with their left hand'.

Next Iron man will have to be renamed if Mike Tyson claims ownership to 'Iron', and Prince Charles will need a new title as Naseem Hamed will own that one.

Aside from that, the marketing is 'left hook energy drink - keeps you fighting round after round' (or something like that). How is that confused with Jeff Lacy ?

(the trademark infringements of 'Pacman' must be mind boggling)

He needs to sue Joe Calzaghe for that inhumane a$$ whooping he gave him way back when.
