    so you're sayn' Byrd, Brewster, Peter, Ibragimov, Rachman, Lewis are "bunch of nobodies"? and don't forget, smartass, at that time Peter was undefeated, Brock - undefeated, Hoffmann - undefeated, Ibragimov - udefeated... like I said, it's not their fault the HW division is **** right now.

    Cal all the way lol. It's funny how Cal fans always try to use other boxer resume instead of using his resume to defend. Everybody fought old champs. Hopkins and Kessler win was actually pretty great wins. Hopkins was old but far from any ordinary fighter. What killed Joe was his fights prier to Lacy. Shieka was one of his best win, not sure if he even became champ in a day when anybody can pick them up.The other boxers had a more consistantly better opposition, which was the difference.

    He proved himself in his later years. I voted for him here, but Bika/ Kessler/ Hopkins/ Jones was a strong finish.

    Kessler/Lacy/I guess Eubank was his best wins. Hopkins...that is a fight that only showed a younger Hopkins would of beat the crap out of him. Every round Hopkins actually showed some stamina he won and made Joe look bad. Jones...Jones is not a top level fighter anymore. He is a step above C level guys but he would get roasted by majority A-B levels. Jones was beaten by Tarver twice and Glen by the time Joe got to him.
