I think Joe along with Hopkins has aged extremely well, but the one thing is he has retained his athleticism and speed which normally goes at that age. Hopkins has survived by keeping within or close to his weight limit and his great skill, Calzaghe has just kept his incredible stamina infact his stamina seems to have gotten better that when he was younger.
yeah i agree ryno. his stamina is first class.
he still looks very good for his age. he can easily fight one or 2 more yrs and still stay in top form imo.

Joe doesnt do rematches, if he fought Hopkins and Hopkins stopped hiding and holding long enought to fight back Hopkins would tire twice as quickly as RJJ. He would STOP a Hopkins that didnt hide.
Hopkins had a shot and bottled it in front of millions. Please someone tell me what Hopkins did in the fight with Joe that merits him getting another shot?
Leave Hopkins festering, he deserves it!
i guess since bhop was the champ, and knocked joe down enroute to a split dec in a pretty close fight it is not good enough to warrant a rematch. my mistake! also, so joe could not ko roy, yet he will bhop? ok, it's official...................your a moron.
That's why all the "Joe is old too, compared to RJJ and Hopkins" argument is not valid. His career did not come with the wear and tear involved when fighting elite fighters throughout someone's career. That's why he's still fresh compared to RJJ or Hopkins.
Jones didn't fight elite competition throughout his career. Are you kidding? He gets slated for NOT doing this, just like Calzaghe does.

Joe still has alot to offer if he wants to because his body hasnt taken alot of punishment, Someone like Erik morales at 29 has taken more punishment ringwise than Joe has in his whole career.
But Joe has lost abit about himself also, He doesnt have the power he use to have because of his injury problems.
Yes he has lost a lot to injuries he could have RJJ out of there from 4 on but his had to fight with the hand broken in a few fights so all his going to do is win by UD but dont think we've seen the last of him Dawson next he may just be saving it all for another boy to put in his place & break his hand doing he'd KO a lot of the guys his been in with but is it worth breaking your hand that should tell ye his planning another fight.

I disagree with you, I saw signs that he has aged and I think he is ready for the taking, hope he sees it too.
His punches in the latter rounds had lost their slap, er I mean snap. Age is catching up on Joe.
yeah well of course he's not the same as 5 yrs ago, but i have not seen to many fellas pushing 37 fight like that.

How many elite fighters did Jones fight throughout his whole career?
Hopkins made a living beating up welterweights.
Hopkins is fresh.
You should have watched the Pavlik fight :boxing:
Joe looks after himself Enzo is even fitter than Joe take it Joe is the best how many guys would go threw fights with a broken hand & arm etc an ABA champ & should have gone to the olympics but they choose Robin Reed silly them throw away a gold P4P his the best at the mo let him have his mo he is a true boxer & student of the sweet since thats why he lasts.
