    I rate him and think he was a fun fighter to watch. Very quirky style.

    Good on you Pimp, appreciating and acknowledging greatness. He may of been Welsh but he was one bad mofo

    He actually changed style with his hand injury problems. Upped the output and lessened the power to save his hands, it improved his gas tank too imo not that it needed it. He would pitter pat with light scoring punches to get them to open up but later stage career he still punched firmly to stop people walking him down, great iq and just an exceptional fighter

    He does now and again go against the grain and speak the truth. If he was infront of me in court i'd give him a reprieve as there's signs that rehabilitation could be successful with him. He'd be under a supervision order though, im not ****ing stupid !

    I'm trying to think of some hidden Mayweather connection or some loss to an American, but I can't find it, this is weird. Maybe his account got hacked.

    and yet you've not proved thatjoe made one ibf defence, wrong

    nor proved that joe has a feat superior to barry mcguigans.

    refute my points or remain a troll.

    Yeah, I actually think he became even more exciting to watch towards the end. Kessler fight was a classic.

    Nah I've been a Calzaghe fan for years ever since he schooled Lacy. Just like I was a big Froch fan as well.

    I always loved Super Joe's unique style and watching him fight. In fact, I still miss it now and watching Enzo (RIP) getting heated and speaking in tongues in the corner. I can't stand Dre from Oakland but one thing I did like about both Joe and him was if you hit them they had that ultra competitive fire burning inside of them to get you back with something immediately.

    Joe was one of the few fighters during the 90`s not to just rely on athleticism, that was one of the big differences betweeen him and Jones along with Roy`s age.
