I can’t say that he ducked Taylor or Winky, but the Pavlik fight was there to be made instead of Jones.
To my knowledge, he fought 46 fights from 45 opponents. Only around 11 of those 45 opponents were world level fighters. That makes it around...
He wasn’t average. But he’s massively overrated by many. Again, bums is YOUR term. But it’s factual that he was more than content to fight...

This is a good post. Your opening post reads as though fans are nostalgic/ridiculous for believing that a fighter of 100 years ago could beat a...
They’re not experts. They’re just ignorant people who need calling out.
The man is literally running from David. Has been for two years. Yet we’re supposed to believe that he’d have fought and beaten Jack with...
Great post. There’s some staggering ignorance in this thread. Most people here aren’t actually debating the hypothetical fight. They’re...
The thing with Lacy being such a favourite, was because Joe was just so unknown by the American’s at the time. They’d barely seen him, apart...
