After several days of negotiations between promoters Tony Holden and Gary Shaw, Jeff Lacy rejected Allan Green as his comeback opponent for October 7th. "Gary Shaw and I did everything possible to make this fight happen, we were getting it finalized, then Lacy decided he didn't want to fight Allan" said a disappointed Tony Holden. Four days ago Allan Green demolished former Contender star Anthony Bonsante and called out Jeff Lacy in an interview with ESPN. "To be honest, I expected it" said Allan Green. "Jeff Lacy had been protected his whole career until he fought Calzaghe. We all know what happened when he stepped up. So I guess he will go back to fighting bums again." With Lacy out of the picture Green is now entertaining an offer to face WBO Super-Middleweight Champion Joe Calzaghe in October. "I will take that fight in a second! I have to meet with my promoter first and look at the specifics, but I am all for it," said Green. Green (21-0), is one of boxing's top prospects after scoring the SHOWTIME knockout of the year against Jaidon Codrington and has reeled off four consectuive knockout victories.

Protected his whole career? When Lacy was 21-0 he was already on his fifth title defense. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Lacy's people are being smart for not putting him in there with Green right now. He needs a confidence builder when he comes back.Comment

I dont blame LAcy, what the **** has Allen " glass Jaw" Green doen to deserve a Lacy fight? He was floored by a nobody before fighting Dumbstante, who in turn was ko'ed by Brinkley who in turn sucks. Alla aint no comp for Lacy, Lacy's arm is bigger that allan's body. Please. If he uses Allan as a comeback fight he will get no credit. Calazaghe would fight Green as a tune up for a real contender, thats why he would fight him. I hate it when these new "prospects" start calling out the big names, it shows they're just desperate for a payday which will probably end up being their last payday.Comment

Dude he went down with a ****ty shot. If you saw the fight it was more of a slap than an actual Lacy left hookComment

Nah Lacy travelled to fight Calzaghe, which no on else of any profile has wanted to do. He will be justified in handpicking his next opponent or two without risk of being called 'protected'.Originally posted by RAESAADSay it ain't so Jeff........You gonna let him make you seem *****???? I am very disappointed because Lacy can beat this prick quite easily IMO.Comment
