Biggest EUROPEAN Threat to a PRIME Roy Jones???...

Have we? I must have blinked and missed that. :dunno:

And, even if I did think they knew what they were talking about (which, except for professional boxers whose opinion on boxing I tend to listen to more often than not, I sometimes do and sometimes don't), that doesn't make a jot of difference to the central tenet of this debate, which is your revisionist claim that no-one though Lacy any good and which you have now amended to mean that 'no-one you agree with thought him any good'.

Yes, they are, but they don't say it about everyone. They said it about Lacy. Now....we are being told that they said it about Lacy because Joe looked bad against guys Lacy looked really bad against. This is Communist.

 

"He's never fought outside of the UK...a victory tonight would go a long way in his road to fighting elsewhere, as in the United States, for example....where he has no or little recognition".

no one whose opinion I value thought Lacy was really good and that is all I can speak to

That is all that matters to me

If I took the press seriously or the opinions of fighters seriously (despite their notoriously poor track records) maybe I'd be all up in arms about this like you and Irish.

You said it is "Arrogant" of me to believe that I have a better and more realistic handle on what goes on in a boxing ring than the wankers at BoxingScene.com, did you not? Obviously you must think they know what they are talking about or why would thinking nothing of their opinions be considered "arrogant"?

 

no you arent being told that

Do I write for BoxingScene? Am I on HBO?

 

I always listen when Toney is voizing his ping.

 

I have no idea if they know what they are talking about or not. I simply think it arrogant to dismiss the entire staff of a boxing website because they happen to disagree with your own position or fail to fit into a common, dictionary definition of 'no-one'.

Thats it ...thats it....

I don't speak for the press and the press means nothing to me

I don't take them seriously... they are in the hype game, they have a product to sell

If you want the "Lacey is a ferocious animal" guy's feet held to the fire for not lauding Calzaghe's win over Lacy as an ATG achievement, then have at it... But I never thought that, so I don't have to pretend it was some incredible victory... Obviously, you and Irish think that was an amazing victory. I assume you have a whole list of really good 168 pounders you would pick Lacy to defeat

 

Who doesn't like listening to Toney voyzing his ping?

 

Don't get me wrong, I LIKE that

But it doesn't ever change my mind

 

You're balls deep in this dipshit, but he'll keep saying he wasn't fucked because he thinks that makes a difference. Just change your name to no one so he can say no one fucked him today and he can finally be right.

 

Uncle Tim smith and Ron bore us picked lacy!??

 

can you imagine!!!!???

WOW, he must have been an amazing fighter

 

FEEBS, this is the kind of expert that could be a writer like Ron Gorges^

 

Plus...Alfredo Escalera was a "C Level" fighter and Ali wouldn't do any better against Tyson than Tyrell Biggs did.

 

I love the dude on Toney's right...his response is the best

 

We can go in circles like this all day. People thought Lacy was good, they didn't, whatever.

The fact is - and I'm sure we can all agree on this - Lacy is, was and always has been absolute gash. Who cares what anyone thought back then. He was awful.

 

Exactly

 

I don't even have to read back in the thread to know that this post is likely the result of Irish trying to big up Lacy again with the motive of pumping up Calzaghe (which he only does because Calzaghe is white).

 

Agreed ::

 

That toney clip is one of my fav of all time

 

This.

 

Is it possible to get the archives for this place?

If we had access to the original threads we could have a good old look.

Probably lost forever now.

 

I hope so. I'd rather not be held to account for any of the shite I talk here.

Nice. This goes all the way back to Bradley/Provodnikov

 

Ah I see a cunning plan on your behalf to keep me occupied the next few days. Won't happen.
