i really think joe's win against hopkins is better than any win on pedjr's career. after pedjr got raped tonight by an amateur, this worsens the gap.
Wow 2 fluffy records from boxing's greatest cherry pickers :think This is a tough one but Floyd has the better resume .. The Hopkins win does elevate Joe's a bit but Floyd did much better south of 140 There also needs to be a 3rd option
Slappy beat the GOAT and the Alien.....prime Kessler, prime Bika, prime and undefeated Lacy(who was supposed to mow down a Klitschko one day), prime Sheika, prime Reid, prime Eubank, prime Woodall. That's 4 top 20 ATGs and at least one more HOFer. He never ducked a mandatory. Not once. He never dropped his title and retired to duck a fight. I hated Calslappy far more than I dislike Roid Mayflower......but Joe's is better. 8yrs after he beat Roidnard and the GOAT, the GOAT is still winning minor titles at CW and beating or holding his own with top prospects and titlists, and Roidnard is unifying LHW world titles in far easier fashion than Roid Jr did last night.:yep
no coincidence progamer made this thread bailey would have made one too if Floyd lost...and tried to sound sincere doing it
And Castillo look where he was ranked at the time he beat him come on now ..I'm one of his biggest critics but Floyd has a much deeper resume than Joe .. And prior to Hopkins who was Joe's best win ? A faded Eubanks ?
compared to a prime Kessler or 40 year old hopkins who got dethroned by jermain taylor? at the end of the day, brits want joe to compare to Hopkins and jones - and it's just not going to be remembered that way
