Whose still p4p # 4 for great wins either side of that loss. Not so shot then.

Excellent point there, sir.

'Honky' cracks me up.

Me too.

I know I should be angry as it is a racist term, but it never fails to make me smirk.

If someone calls me a name I do not give a ****.

No doubt the haters will be out in force. He beat Hopkins (by 2 rounds). Destroyed the next Tyson in Lacy. The only problem was that the RJJ fight wasn't needed. RJJ is my hero but he is past it now. Im sorry but he is. JC is unbeaten- a reason that he is hated so much. Best British boxer after Lewis.

For me, Mikkel Kessler and Chris Eubank were good.

No, better than good.

Jeff Lacy was a terrific young World Champion at the time of his dismantling at the hands of Calzaghe, also.

And I enjoyed his victory over Bernard Hopkins, a few months before Hopkins impressed me with his magnificent victory over Kelly Pavlik.

I do admit that many of us British over-rate Joe, but maybe we have good reason to. Not only is he a terrific guy who does a lot for charity, just like Ricky Hatton, but he has been a World Champion for well over a decade and that is something fairly special.

based on what? victories over scott pemberton and omar sheika?
