Joe was more active and busy. If you class busy and active as aggressivness, you have a winner. Judges look for who is doing the pressing and who is throwing the punches, regardless if there meaningfull or not. Hopkins more cleaner punches would have been noted, but there simply wasn't enough of them and only one knockdown.
Just ask Santa Cruz how much the judges mean Joes win over Hopkins in reality was a thorough UD, much like Dawson-Tarver...much like Calzahge-Jones. Fact is both Joe and Chad have in the past year or two done about the same
Come on, you may as well just typed "bump" and hoped the thread kickstarted again instead of trotting out that tired old line.
Both Lacy and Kessler were in there prime and Joe beat them both comfterably.nothing left to prove.Dawson is only being banded about because Kelly Pavlick got ripped a new arse by Hopkins.
Kessler was his best scalp, but Lacy?? Do you really herald Lacy as a top fighter?? He looked like utter **** even before the fight with Joe!!!!! and has looked like the same ever since!! Face it, Lacy never was anything...Its like Bredis Prescott hyping an Amir Khan victory....not much to it:deal
Joe is magnanimous though. Next time he passes TheGrimReaper he`ll put a nickel in his can so he can purchase a new cardboard box.
