    In impressive fashion could you finally admit he is the best (not greatest - but the best) fighter of the last decade or is at least P4P number one right now. It is an if, but would anyone deny him his status if he did -question-mark-

    Joe should already be near the top of everybody's P4P list, if you ask me. I probably wouldn't have him at the top, but I wouldn't raise an argument with you if you did.

    Sorry for posting in a post intended for American use but has your disdain for emoticons now spread to basic punctuation - question mark.

    People, bare in mind shutting out a wonderful boxer like Mikkel Kessler is almost impossible.

    "If Joe would achieve the almost impossible in the ring, would he be the best?"

    :think

    It is a trick question, I admit.

    How do you define a shut-out? Do you mean 120-108 X 3 or what?

    If Joe should do that, I'll have him at no.2 P4P.

    I'd really have to see the performance to make that call. I'd definitely have him up there at the top, but it seems to be a lot easier to maintain a #1 position than it is to achieve it. How would you defend his position against Floyd Mayweather?

    I like your thinking: I will get these guys to believe that Kessler is nigh unbeatable and then I will propose that Joe beats him in impressive comprehensive fashion. Then I will ask them whether he is the best!

    One of the best ways of getting the true haters to come out of the woodwork - they will answer NO! no matter what...even to your hypothetical argument.

    If he shut out Kessler i would have him P4P #4 easy. Unless Winky loses and then i would have him at #3. Keep in mind that i really like Calzaghe and Kessler both, im ****in stoked for this fight, but PBF and PacMan have been unbeatable as of late and if Winky beats a P4P top ten rated Hopkins then he can't be bumped for Calzaghe beating a non-top ten P4P fighter.

    Without losing a round basically, in the eyes of a competent judge.

    Kessler may or may not be nigh unbeatable. Whether he is or not, I cannot think of one instance of someone like a Kessler being shut-out, certainly not a fighter like Kessler at his best weight, in his prime.
