    He would impress me if a beat a slew of those fighters, I would love to see these fights:Joe C. vs. Wright, Pavlik, Tarver, Taylor, and RJJ. Not at the same time of course that would be impressive. but I'd love to see anyone of those fights.

      Maybe so... but when Joe beats Pavlik, people are going to say that Pavlik was a flash in the pan, nothing big. Beat one guy, etc.

      Pretty much the way I feel about him right now... it will just take a loss to wake people up that he hasn't proven himself to be nearly as good as people are making him out to be.

      Anyways, he said he's done with 168. 175, the best is probably Dawson, but again, he hasn't really done much of note, so a win over him wouldn't stack up to Joe's legacy like you are asking.

      The answer, there really isn't a good one. The problems of finding someone good to fight is that young fighters are rarely stars, and the star fighters are rarely young.

        Anyone's an easy option right now... the divisions around him are littered with name old men with little resistance left (RJJ, Hopkins...) or green opponents that would be tailor made for him (Miranda, Pavlik...)

        Kelly Pavlik, as much as I like him, was nearly KO'd in two rounds. Jermain gassed out... The Blow does not gas out.

            I agree... no one on the P4P rating in those three division except for Calzaghe, Hopkins and Wright, meaning everyone is either past it or green. Kinda sucks for Calzaghe, that he won't get a great fight to build his legacy up even more on, but that's life I guess.

            He should go after Hopkins or Wright IMO.

                I'd like him to move up weight,(which he says he's gonna do) then i'd like to see one last fight in uk against woods who i think would give him a hell of a fight and possibly beat joe, then take anyone on at 175 and fight Kelly for his last fight

                  At 35 and beating Kessler Joe already proved he is a great fighter , there is no excuses Joe was too good plain and simple ,, talk of p4p no 1 and he is best in history is a bit over the top based on this one fight as his prior resume is still crap but he has proven him self a great champion getting this win .

                  I didnt vote in the poll as he dont have to beat anyone to get my respect he done that with Kessler .

                      I say fight Roy jones after he demolishes Tito. That is fight of athleticism right there. it would be exciting an intense like Floyd vs Zab. Athlete vs athlete, flash vs flash, speed vs speed...yall get the idea.
