    Yeah. It's not who he did it to that impressed me so. It's how he did it. He tore Simon apart.

    I think his lower bodyweight attributed to that to some degree. Joe threw his entire body behind those punches and he accelerated in a blink. That speed and maneuverability would not be feasible at higher bodyweight. I suspect it's one of the reasons he lost his snapping power in the later years.
