      Just like Joe lost to Hopkins?

      And I would never call Eubank the greatest. He was a good fighter, who would lose to the likes of Toney and Jones.

I also stated that Joe usually performs well against come forward/pressure fighters, and his combo's and boxing skills would leave Johnson confused.

        As for Gerald, I couldn't give a damn about that guy. I only care for the dogs he brutally tortured.
        you also realize glen johnson is called the "road warrior" for a reason. he had to go to his opponents hometurf and anything can happen when a fight goes to decision. if calzaghe had to travel to his opponents hometown he could easily lose a somewhat close fight whether he deserved to or not. calzaghe wouldn't be getting any gift ko's in his opponents hometown either.

        yea you were wrong the first time so why say it again? which come forward fighter did he perform well against? lacy? he sucks. that guy couldn't put 2 punches together to save his life.

          Gerrald was a great man and a credit to the human race. What would the world be without him?

          The man is revered just because he wore a pair of boxing gloves. He was an animal.

            well he did lose to hopkins according to almost everyone ringside and according to knowledgeable boxing fans who score fights based on the rules. clean punching, defnse, etc...you know hit and not be hit unlike calzaghe's don't hit and get hit strategy.

            and you claimed someone with 12 losses is a bum and eubank in reality should have about 12 losses if judging was fair.

              Who's disagreeing? I made the exact same remark in the GMAT.



              In boxing, that's a credit. This is a boxing forum, right? Or did I go crazy?

                  Would have given him problems? Yes

                  Would he have won? Probably not

                      Didn't Joe pull out like 3 times against something?
                      That should answer your question
