    well he beat Jones who I know was older easily and Hopkins he beat when other guys like Tarver and Wright could not. Kessler undefeated beat him easily. Lacy was outclassed. Mitchell. Eubank was still decent . 17 title fights. undefeated when he retired. 46-0. His record speaks for itself. If people do not like Joe personally that is fine, but his record is stellar.

    Never mind beating jones. Zero relevance. What's your scorecard for hopkins v joe?

    Lacy got humiliated by tyspko in his very next fight and got flattened by jones jr not long after.

    Mikel was a good victory, credit where it's due.

    Please mag, never again compare joe with roberto.

    You said he demolished and outclassed guys no one else COULD OR DID. Kessler has been out classed WORSE then Joe did. Jones hasd been demolished before Joe C fought him. Hops was out classed before Joe beat him. Eubanks was decent? Eubanks was DONE.

    Look, I know what you were trying to say. So maybe pick your words better when just trying to 'up' Joe C.

    NOBODY wants your input. In any thread, on any subject. You're a grown man who takes pride in being an annoyance. I bet your momma's proud of you.

    I like and respect both fighters.

    Tszyu reigned over a division that was considered, at the time, the deepest.

    Calzaghe had a long reign, but the division was considered one of the shallowest, and Joe didn't reign over the top of it like Tszyu did. He was content with just his one version of the belt for so long.

    Tszyu travelled to win against anyone and everyone. Joe stayed at home, and mostly beat up on nobodies.

    On the other hand, Joe retired undefeated, and had a lot more fights.

    To me, Tszyu is the better fighter. A better reign over a better division.
