    Not even the one who had Eubank on his ass and had a record of 22-0 with 21 knock-outs prior to their meeting?


    Before Joe's hands turned to glass, he was a damn good boxer/puncher.
    With Joe's chin, speed and boxing skills added with power back than he would have a chance of knocking out RJJ

    Youd didn't miss anything as Aaron Pryor never fought Floyd Mayweather Jr.

    Pryor's last fight was 1990....Floyd didn't start fighting till 1996.

    What's your point?

    I always thought Joe late on in his career worked on speed and combinations to make up for not being able to dish out the big punches he threw earlier in his career due to brittle hands?
    It would've been an interesting fight with roy but the man was on another planet.
    If only he had stayed the man at 168 and 175 instead of ****ing about with heavyweights

    Good point. Prime Zaggers would have won by KO.
