    Looks like he may be comming back to face Hopkins, if he wins that then..

    Beats Bute
    Beats Chad Dawson
    Then finally defeats the winner of the super 6??

    Where would you rank him then as an ATG?

    It would boost him considerably from where he's at now and really any of those wins would be better than any win he's had to date (unless Kessler somehow wins the super6)

    I rank him the best 168 lber of all time. But he does not have enough to be an atg amongst legends. Bert Sugar's book top 100 fighters of all time has Tyson at 100 is he better than Tyson. Its like when ppl say Manny or Floyd are top 10 let alone top 20 so many fighters have done so much more than these newer guys its so hard to put them ahead of the Armstrongs and the Arguellos the Haglers the Leonards Hearns's Chavezs Whitakers

    If he did all that it would really raise his standing. It would be a tremendous boost and would probably put him into the top 50.

    No it would then be said Bute hasnt beaten anyone of note
    Dawson nearly got KOd by G Johnson whos lost many times
    And the super 6 although a good idea wont have given a great fighter until they have gone on to do more, just the winner of a great tournament

    Just answering for the haters

    He is great fighter-
    Ring LHW & SMW belts plus WBO (21 defences), WBC, WBA, IBF SMW titles. 46-0
    Anyone can knock that but the results speak for themselves
     
  11. What if he sprouts 2 extra arms, singlehandedly defeats Al Qaida and the Taliban, ends world hunger, invents a time machine, travels back in time to defeat John L. Sullivan, Sam Langford, both George Godfreys, Jack Johnson, Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis, the Nazis, Rocky Marciano, Sonny Liston, Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, AND the ATG #1 Nicolai Valuev...

    THEN would you consider him an ATG?

    I mean... WHAT IF??

    at first thought...im like....yeah joe fights 'nard over in his backyard...and gets right back out....but i think there is a two fight sequence that makes sense for joe...both financially and in degree of difficulity

    and thats 'nard followed by froch....those are to two fights that joe can make some serious money in....and only one of them presents any danger of him getting hurt....and depending on how joe looked when he got back in the ring against 'nard....ill assume he still looks as good as he did the last time we saw him....he would probably be able to ud froch

    I hope thats a joke. If he isnt in the top 150 now those 3 fights are not gonna make him top 10!!haha!!

    If Man U played Burnley each week and refused to play Arsenal or Chelsea would you think they were a great team??
