    Hopkins
    Kessler
    Eubank
    Jones
    Lacy

    That's the order of Joe's top 5 wins, IMO.

        I agree apart from Lacy's positioning. I understand why you put him there but I'd personally slot him between Kessler and Eubank.

        Kessler was the more impressive performance than against Hopkins (which he arguably lost) - but Kessler's name doesn't hold a candle to Bernard's in terms of historical significance. Hey, maybe it will do after the Super Six tourney, but right now - nah.

            lacy and jones arent good wins, they are just wins. jones at this stage isnt a world class fighter and lacy never was to begin with, thats a fact. imo neighter is kessler, but thats just my opinion. hopkins is his toughest challenge by far, but i personally had him losing, still his most impressive performance though since it was his toughest challenge by far.

              He had to dig deep against Robin Reid. A fight at the time, i thought he had lost.

                Those are all good/great names. People can say Hopkins and Roy are past it yet those two keep proving people wrong by keep winning.

                  Not a bad list to be honest. I think if Kessler wins the tourney he'd have to go top though.

                  I often think the Mitchell, Brewer and Bika fights are a little under rated at least. Bika today is a pretty under rated fighter IMO, and rightly the #5 ranked SMW by Ring.

                    The domination of Lacy will be in contention for performace of the decade.

                    Joe's most amazing win imo - blowing the US hype machine off the rails and showing the term 'Euro-bum' to be nothing short of nonsense.
