    Why is it that people on here are judging Joe on a fight he didn't look particularly impressive in against BHop which he got the decision when ATG of the past are judged on fights they won and fights they lost are ignored. I think Bernard is looked on as a pretty decent fighter who had one of his best wins after the Calzaghe fight.

    Calzage had enough of a punch to make Hopkins fake a low blow looking for rest, Joes pace was getting to him

    He hurt the durable Kessler with a body punch to take charge of the fight

    He dropped and dominated an unbeaten Left hook Lacy

    Dominated Jones...and coasted( eased up on Jones

    Defended his title what 21 times and fought a few real tough guys

    There really was only one guy in our era that did all these things and never lost in 46 fights and retired unbeaten at the age of 37....It is time Joe...you are a great fighter and are going out on top
