Jeff Lacy Fight Quotations

Of course! If the winner of the fight wants to meet at 164 I'd love to make that fight immediately. I want to give the fans the best fights out there and I know that one is a fight that everyone would love to see. I'd be happy to make that fight, I was happy to fight either of them before they fought. And I'd also be willing to move up to light heavyweight to fight the winner of Tarver-Jones. That fight would be HUGE in Florida.

I can't get up for training unless I'm in a big fight, and this is going to be a fight fans want to see. He has power, and I have power. It's going to be a war,

I felt good. He fought a good fight and I can't take anything anyway from him. He never said a bad thing about me the entire time, but he didn't knock me out, though. I'll have to be honest. I thought I was going to come in here and knock him out because I didn't think he could handle the pressure. I have to tip my hat off to him because he could handle it.

Joe is a great champion. I have a lot of respect for him, ... That's why I wanted this fight so bad, because I have a lot of respect for him and I considered him, up until me winning the world title, one of the best champions in the division. And I want to fight the best.

They see me as, as one of those throwback fighters. When I enter the ring, I am coming in there to fight. And that is what this fight is all about. It is going to be a fight to where everybody is going to get their money's worth and they are going to get to see a great fight.

This is a fight I'm taking very seriously and there's going to be fireworks on March 4, ... I'm going over there to do my thing. I won't be denied.

I like being the underdog and I like to hear the crowd boo, ... By the end of the fight they'll be cheering for me saying, 'That was a great fight.'

Exactly! And that's why I continued to go on with my career. I continued to box and I fought when I had to do. I think he took this fight to get out of the fight with me on November 5.

That's one fight that I'm looking forward to happening. I've always told you I'm not going to duck Scott, he's earned his right. I like Scott and I think he's a cool guy but when we get in the ring it's going to be a fight and it's going to be an exciting fight. I think it's the kind of fight that everybody wants to see.

We will still fight on November 5th. Everyone had been telling me all along to have a backup plan because Calzaghe was going to fallout. I had too much respect and trust for Frank Warren and Joe Calzaghe to do that but those days are over.

I took his best shots and he couldn't take mine. That was the difference of the fight. I get stronger as the fight goes on; he was getting weaker.
