Lets give it up for Jersey Joe! He had heart, if anybody did. He was the definition of late bloomer, much like Glen Johnson, but Glen was 35 when he won his world title and Joe was 37. He had lost 16 fights before he finally reached the throne, the echelon of the boxing world. And in what way! By knocking out the p4p king of that time, Ezzard Charles. He was clearly a puncher but he was also a slick defensive fighter and a good technician.
I know he was also a referee, but does anybody know how he was as a ref? And what are your fav fights with Jersey Joe? Mine are the second and third Charles fight and the first Marciano fight.
