Lacy was defeated soundly against Calazaghe but he hasn't even made an comeback attempt yet. I've seen him ringside at a couple of major fights but no interviews.

He came back and won a close decision against Vitali Tsypko (I had it 95-95). He suffered a bad shoulder injury in the win and looks to return late this year or early next year.
yes he has... then he got a torn rotater cuff... fought on couragesly and i believe is on the mend.

Calzaghe ruined him. He will never be the same. He is finished.

He's looking to come back early next year.
All the networks are pretty much booked for the rest of the year.

Torn rotator cuff, moving your arm sucks ass, let alone punching with one.
He will be out for at least a year.
He sucks anyways.. :-)

I can't believe he got the decision in that comeback fight. I had him one, possibly 2 rounds down. Joe broke him for good.

I think his biggest problem before his demise was his attitude.. his thuggish entourage telling him he's unbeatable and him believing it.
Hopefully the JC beat down makes him more humble in his future endeavours. I wish him well and would very much like to see him fighting Green, Abraham, Pascal, Bute, or Kessler in the future.

Why are you people being so disrespectful? He showed a great heart in his comeback fight and has one hell of a chin. I'd like for him to fight Edison Miranda in the near future. He has showed us his power,heart, and chin but I'd like for him to tighten up on his jab.
good post. Lacy isnt some one dimensional bum, he is a very good, and exciting, fighter who wanted the best. He lost to a great fighter...and he refused to be stopped...he has all the intangibles of a great champion

in interviews, Lacy was nothing but humble and respectful. His attitude in the ring was that of a killer....aint nothing wrong with that, hes a fighter, not a golfer.

Some people on this site aren't fans of boxing they are fans of glory.
Jeff lost one fight and he's a one dimensional bum, his next fight is close due to injury and he is a broken man who was no good to begin with. BOLLOCKS!
The boy is good, just give all the bullshit a rest.

Lacy carries the distinction of going from being the most overrated fighter in the sport to being the most underrated in the space of about 10 months, or maybe even just 36 minutes.

I think that's a premature conclusion. Lacy was dominated by Calzaghe, but Calzaghe is an excellent boxer, and Lacy showed a lot of heart and a rock chin in that fight. He was soundly beating Tsypko until his shoulder injury, where he showed his heart again by fighting through the pain. Now he's going to take time off for the injury to heal and we'll see how he does when he comes back.

:lol:
The Next Tyson before Calzaghe; a one-dimensional useless bum after Calzaghe.
over-rated damaged goods:-(

Jeff Lacy is a damn good fighter who just matched up very poorly style wise to JC. He is still very much a force within the division regardless of what anyone thinks. His biggest downfall is that he got TOO confident in his own power. Guys who fight like Lacy are most effective when they punch in combinations. He still has reasonably quick hands, heaps of power, and is good at cutting off the ring. He was great for boxing and I certainly am looking forward to his return.

Don't respond to the numbnutz who posted that lacy had a thuggish
entourage who made lacy beleive he was better than he was. WTF!
:nut
This turd doesn't even watch boxing. Lacy couldn't have been a more
nice guy in the calz press conferences leading up to the fight.
