Joe would have to wait til Ward was 40 to fight him. Impossible.

Ridiculous some people here truly ridiculous.

First when we talk of the opinions of figters....they tend to have very different points of view...lets just say they do not pick the winners often when asked about fights! And when asked "who hits the hardest?" some of the names mentioned are a suprise to say the least. With Bikka and Kesler the opinion they have about Ward comes from a lot of things, an objective assesment about skill is not one of them. Kessler for one was pissed at Ward. So lets be real about that opinion as an indication of anything!

Now lets look at the data we do have: Hopkins put Calzighe on his ass and beat him. Hopkins who was past it. Ward beat up the guy who eat Hopkins recently.

Joe's work rate would be affected because Ward like any great fighter would neutralize Joe's slaps. Once Joe got hit in his guts a few times and smothered I think he would slow down a bit.

Joe was not adaptible!! He was able to impose his will because....He fought ****! He did not impose his will on Hopkins, he snuck by because one judge saw it his way.

Ward would show Joe that a fight takes place in all ranges. He would put Joe on his ass like Hopkins did and then do it again a few more times.

Slappy coasted and everybody knows that. Kessler is a solid fighter....he is not a great fighter. Joe was impressive in that he saw the weakness in Lacy while others did not, he deserves credit for that.

If one more judge had scored the Hopkins fight properly we probably would not be having this discussion frankly.

One of the dumbest posts I've ever read.

Not going to say why? 168 doesn't have a deep history. From your posts in this thread, your logic seems to be that unifying titles is the way to become the greatest. That one win alone is greater than anything Calzaghe has ever done at 168, and it wasn't close, controversial or a struggle for him. Froch v Kessler will be the for the WBA/IBF titles, does that make them greater than RJJ?

Do you possibly have Roy's entire career confused with what he did at super middleweight? To answer your question unifying titles does in fact mean more. Simply because it shows that a fighter dominated. And the fact is that Jones and Toney never dominated the super middleweight division. And unifying the titles also means way more then beating the likes of Eric Lucas and a pudgy Vinnie Pazienza. As far as Jones beating Toney, I believe that by winning one fight in a division is no where near enough to be the best in that divisions history. Regardless of who you are or who happened to beat.

When offering something that does not amount to a logical rebutal, a competing interpretation of information, or pointing out a logical inconsistancy a statement such as yours amounts to "look at me I am a jackass." Ok I have looked.....
