Jeff Lacy on MMA

Now the reason I posted this wasn't to start another pointless 'Boxing vs. MMA' thread, or to point out that Lacy knows absolutely nothing about MMA, instead I posted it because of this little gem...

Wait....did Jeff Lacy put himself in the same category as Ali, De La Hoya and Sugar Ray Leonard?

Now that's funny.

:notallthere:

Calaghe must have hit him pretty hard

 

Hahah, that's what stood out to me.

Ali, De La Hoya, Ray Leonard, and Jeff Lacy.

Insert music:

Which one of them doesn't belong?

 

I'm guessing Ali. He never gave away the last three rounds to blow the decision, as Oscar did against Tito, Lacy against Calzaghe and Leonard against Norris

 

I don't disagree that from a popularity standpoint, MMA is a fad. But not the sport itself - it's not something that's just going to dry up and blow away.

But as far as Jeff's overall comments - boxers, promoters, managers, whoever. just need to stop mentioning MMA altogether. Because they more they do (and especially with the comments they make), the more they sound threatened by the sport.

MMA is doing its thing, boxing is doing theirs. Both should just leave it be, enjoy their own individual success, and move on with their lives.

 

That killed any cred his statement had.

 

Your the brain of the board! Great point.

 

, Lacy wasn't even a fad.

 

Sorry bro. Lacy didn't give away anything...Calzaghe straight up took that shit.

 

And it is for that last post that I give thanks today for being blessed with a sense of humor

 

I think he made a valid point. I must reconsider my take there

 

O Really. Then why is the thread called Jeff Lacy on the MMA.

 

funny thing is I think the Lacy/Manfredo fight will be a good oneopcorn:

 

Along with every other point he tried to make.

 

Uhhh...because it's about comments made by Jeff Lacy when giving his opinion on MMA.

Do you need any other painfully simple questions answered?
