    doesn't have a world class resume. Can you think of any other fighter, who has soooooooo many people calling him the P4P best, with a worse resume than JC???

    I just think it's ignorant and ridiculous to call someone the P4P best when he made a habit of NOT fighting the best. Whether it was JC's fault or not, that's not the point. We rate fighters on ability and what they ACCOMPLISH, not who avoided them. A lot of fighters are avoided, but most people don't make excuses the way they do for JC.

    Joe has many fans as he appeals to a wide spectrum

    Not only boxing lovers, but he is highly acclaimed as a singer, and often keeps the boys spirits high in the Newbridge Gym

    I've also heard he is an avid wine connoisseur, but that is just speculation for the moment

    His dazzling looks may also attract an influx of girls onto ESB

    It is a school boy error to think he has so many fans just because he is p4p #1

    I don't care why people like him. I am saying that he is the OVERRATED based upon his accomplishments. He had a 10 year span between Eubank and Lacy where he didn't locate major fights.

    Because of that, he cannot be #1 P4P, plain and simple.

    Then he really doesn't want to fight Pavlik, cause Kelly will transfer those "dazzling looks" into the next Frankenstein full length feature film.

    :yep

    This topic has been done to death could you not have just tagged your comments onto THIS thread? That way it would save the interesting threads from being diluted with reposts. Thanks.

    He already is in the eyes of many esteemed pundits in Wales

    If you don't like it, I suggest you start a petition

    Who cares what Wales thinks? It's his homeland and they're completely biased? Besides, it represents a relatively small number of people.

    No offense, but your arguments or very elementary and without substantiated fact.

    The point is, a lot of people are fans of their HOMETOWN sports figures. That doesn't make JC P4P #1. Obviously you don't get that.
