Perhaps one of those that could go either way, both punch hard and can also take some, but since Barkley is the much more accomplished guy I pick him
Lacy would win. Barkely may have achieved more, but Lacy is bigger, has a better chin and hits harder. LMAO at Xplosive calling Lacy a bum (how ya doin' bro)...as I remember him distinctly "predicting" that Lacy would KO "The Welsh Fraud" Calzague in 7 rounds!:laughing:
who knew that Lacy would fight like a drunken idiot? and who knew that Slappy would shut him down with holding everytime he got close?
Slappy kicked his ass and owned him on the inside .... Slappy was constantly outfighting Lacy on the inside ..
Slappy was doing both. When he wasn't holding Lacy on the inside, he was beating up Lacy on the inside.
a pre-calzaghe Lacy might have walked right through Barkley similar to how Nigel Benn did, but Barkley definitely had more dimensions to him
The pre-Calzaghe Lacy sucked as much as the post-Calzaghe Lacy. EVERYONE was comparing him to Jermaine Taylor, and everyone was saying that there was a huge talent differential between the two. Lacy was one of the most overrated prospects of the 21st century.
