Look at how Floyd Mayweather did it. He left the game by knocked out the best at 140.
That is equivalent to Joe knocking out Pavlik at 168. Imagine what that would do for his career and legend?
Instead he'll ride off into the sunset by beating two old ass legends. That's a shame, but it'll haunt Joe for the rest of his boxing life. He'll never get full credit for beating Roy and Bernard. Never.
It's just like Larry Holmes not getting full or even partial credit for beating Ali...
