He was close enough, hard to say though. When you take the various hand injuries that set him back, considering that he was probably at the best he could be when he retired.

I would go with old Joe but tough to say.

He was still good enough to beat many other fighters but why stick around longer? Better to retire on top and healthy than go out like Roy Jones Jr. and never no when to quit. No offense to Roy Jones Jr it just saddens me watching him try and fight in the condition he is in.
