Lacy used to have a problem finding opponents and still will.Calzaghe tore him up but that does not in any way,shape or form many others can.

Lacy looked like a totally different fighter against Calzaghe ... he didn't have the handspeed, throw combinations or throw that jab. Calzaghe is obviously a far superior fighter to the guy Lacy knocked out in that clip, but I wonder why Lacy's style changed so much. Fell in love with the power punches?

You know, I look at Lacy in the Reid, Pemberton and Calzaghe fights and wonder how the hell he had 200+ amateur wins. He looked like **** in those fights.

i remember him fighting some journeyman southpaw, i think his name was grant, i dont want to look it up, his nickname was the alien. anyhow, lacy looked very ordinary in that fight as well, i didnt quite understand all the hype behind him leading up to the calzaghe fight, though i had no idea hed get his ass handed to him so badly. i think there are more 167lb'ers that can beat lacy than most people think.

Froch and Brahmer would beat him, I said that before the Reid fight, after the Reid fight, before the Calzaghe, after the Calzaghe fight.

But then again, Froch and Brahmer are the **** IMO.

I don't think Lacy can deal with good boxers. He can still win a title, but he'll never beat technical boxers who isn't afraid of him in my opinion.

Apparently his debut was supposed to be on Showtime, but his opponent took one look at him at the weigh-in and backed out!
