Windmilling your opponents isnt all that to me. LOL.
    He ran the WBO..the weakest division for 10 years.

    Any half-assed fighter with NO AMBITION could do that.

    That's not like running the WBC.

    Don't just give props like Monica Lewinsky gives *******s.

    C'mon now.

      I cant dispute that...That point I'm trying to make is that Joe was a decent fighter that deserves props for what he did...I do agree that he gets very overrated on here.

        Go look at Glen johnsons "prime" SMW record before mentioning his name.
        Glen Johnson has been robbed many times in his career. Everybody knows it. But for the past i think 5 years, Glen Johnson has been a beast. And Calzaghe could have gotten a Great Victory if he would have fought and beat him within these 5 years. But nope, he's scared of Glen for some reason.

                  As of right now , Berto has one of the Major belts, and is fighting very good opposition because the contenders ranked for the WBC are good or great fighters. If Berto can make 10 Defenses with the WBC, then he will get all the respect in the world.

                    You know me by now...I'm not Joe's biggest fan on here (far from it)..cant stand his style of boxing but I gotta give him a due....True..the WBO isnt the most well known belt...I'll give you that...I do see your point thought...he could have done a hell of a lot better with his resume...I think with him skipping out on a Johnson fight is one of many reason I just wasnt a big fan of his...I'm starting to change my tone now you say something about it...I'm trying to be fair here with him but that about all I can do for him because he's the only one to blame for his career for being like that.
