    Joes win against Kessler was his defining fight, but one great fight does not make a leg-end

        Joe fought for a vacant British Title against a no hoper(Stephen Wilson), Warren given Joe a easy title, Joe just having to turn up to win.
        Then he was given another shot a vacant title this time the Warren controled WBO, this time against a twice beaten over the Hill Chris Eubank,
        so it was'nt until the Welsh wanker fought Jeff Lacy did he win a legit title fare and square,
        this is not the record of somebody who people think is the best British Boxer of all time, the lenth of time you hold onto a title is'nt an indicator of how good/bad a fighter is.
        Joe is good but NOT truly Great.
        His division might of not been the strongest but he has beat everyone he has had to beat at Supermiddleweight except for Ottke who wanted nothing to do with Calzaghe alot of people go off about Calzaghe's record but who else could he have fought at Supermiddleweight ??

          What Difference does it make he beat Lacy & Eubank & would have beaten Eubank in his prime regardless wether he was finished or not, infact he would have beaten him even more convincingly circa 2006
