Go to YouTube and type in "Jeff Lacy vs" and just enjoy

Anything pre Calzaghe

Its a pity he gets remembered as just the guy who got slapped stupid by Calzaghe, he was actually more like a Super middleweight Wilder more than Tyson, always vulnerable, incredibly dangerous and entertaining

That's another thing, imagine being best friends and main /training sparring partners with one of THE best southpaws ever for years and not being able to handle a southpaw straight left


Another piece of trivia, Nate Campbell said although Lacy was a younger fighter, he taught him how to throw a left hook better than all the coaches

An if I may say so, fantastic Ringwear from Lacy, those shorts are wasted on one fight each

ya, its true, he was in a lot of fun fights. swung for the rafters. he had some struggles before calzaghe that got overlooked and always had that vulnerable puncher vibe to him. even after fighting joe and also messing his shoulder, he had wars vs manfredo and tsypko

I'll always love lacy for getting me 2/1 on a Calzaghe win. Easy money.

He wasn't awful by any means he just couldn't handle world class volume, he struggled with high paced fights, but he just slept going until I the end. When allowed to set his feet, his combos were beautiful too watcn

People remember I Taylor outgunninb him too, forgetting the knockdown by Lacy that was not even called a knock down. even when he was shot, he's dangerous

Lacy was just an overhyped puncher. Who his best win? who necks? guy done nothing to deserve his own thread. Word
