IMO, no not a chance.
Not at this time, with 3 warm up fights and a new corner, possibly!!
I AGREE… HE NEEDS SOMEMORE BOXING LESS HEADHUNTING
I agree that he really needs a new corner; motivation, better skills and better tactics. It would be essential for Lacy to get better people around him
Maybe so, but Birmingham hasnt done a bad job with Winky! I think Lacy was not listening to anything against Calzaghe he went in there tried to bomb him out and didnt have a clue what to do with Calzaghes style.
Didn’t sound like there was much instruction to listen to, but to be fair we way just not have heard exactly what was being said.
I guess that the poll so far tells us that juiced Lacy will get wacked another time against Big Daddy Kessler ;D
Lacy has a big heart so you never know, i hope he comes back stronger the more contenders for the title the better.
He has a big heart and a big punch, but unfortunately little defense and no boxing skills whatsoever. Joe didn’t just beat him–he exposed him as being over-hyped and mediocre.
O0 O0
lacy is quite handy but cant match it with the following at this stage of his career.
mikkel kessler
anthony mundine
joe calzaghe
I think lacy would cane mundane, i saw the fight and green is a joke, although it seems lacy has lost his stomach for a fight, where the hell has he gone too?
lol,ummm no mundine would beat him easily on points.
mundine has really come on heaps and bounds since last time out against kessler…a next fight would be interesting…
Please stop that stupid lacymania - the first time it was wrong and now it is even more wrong.
You guys have to accept that Lacy has LOST every time he stepped up against a live opponent; in the amateurs as well as pros he was stopped by Ashira Evans and Brian Magee and the same every time he stepped up the pro ranks. Lacy is a defeater chick and should stay away from bigger fighters.
Lacy was rocked by Ross Thompson, Rubin Williams and Omar Sheika.
He was looking foolish against Calzaghe.
He would be stopped easily by the giant Kessler.
Munidne is 180 and the midget Jeff Lacy is 175 - he would be crused by Kessler no doubt
why do you care so much about lacy and how people percieve him?
lacy is a very solid super middleweight with only one loss to his name against the best the division has had to offer for the last decade…there is no shame in that…
until kessler actually gets in the ring and defeats someone in his prime or a top guy on the up then he himself should be a little less hyped by the likes of you…otherwise, you might end up with the egg on your face :-*
When Kessler took the title from Siaca, Siaca was WBA champ and no. 2 on the Ring’s rankings. His age was 28 and prime. Kessler’s first defence was against the Ring’s no. 3 ABROAD and Mundine was just turned 30, so please do not ever tell me again that Kess had not fought prime top SMWs…
Lacy is an overhyped America bum and Kessler is the second coming of Jesus Christ himself. Happy now Royal? This is only my 1 billionth reply on THE SAME TOPIC YOUVE MADE ON 20 OF YOUR OTHER NAMES.
And I don’t care what The Ring says. Siaca was not a world class contending fighter.
If Lacy is overhyped and mediocre then Calzaghe’s victory means nothing.
