    He'd definitely do it if he could get a fight with De La Hoya and he'd probably do it if he got a fight with (Floyd) Mayweather, but that's about it.

    It got nasty at times. In the end, it got made. I guess nobody wanted it to go to purse bid and have it be in somebody's backyard.

    Jeff will defend his titles November 5 and Showtime will televise it. Jeff is not only the most active world champion in boxing, he is the shining light of the 12stone division. Jeff has successfully answered every challenge in his professional career, but when it came time for Calzaghe to face Jeff, his team threw in the towel.

    Jeff wants to fight exciting fights, he wants to fight good fights, and everybody in the U.S. knows Scott Pemberton is a banger, he goes into wars and he was number one in the 'BC and number five in the IBF. So I said let's give the fans their monies worth.

    Jeff satisfied his mandatory against top-rated contender Robin Reid in August so he wouldn't be stripped and the fight would be a true world title unification fight, ... Reid was no warm-up fight.

    Jeff is not looking past Robin Reid. Reid is the stiffest test Jeff Lacy will have faced in his 19-0 career.

    I stuck up for him. I said Joe is a great champion. We went to Manchester to pay him the respect and he said at a luncheon with Lacy sitting there, 'I want the fight'. So I'm going to give him the respect and I'm going to give Frank Warren the respect. Then hopefully, we are going to get the fight done. But if he doesn't and he pulls out on us, he'll never fight Jeff Lacy again. Forever he will be known as the guy who ducked the big fight.
