    Look out the trolls have arrived in spades. doesn't take long when Joes name is mentioned.

      When Joe was a child, Enzo used to tie fly swatters to his boxing gloves and lock him in a room full of beehives for hours.

            Probably blood doping

              Because he moved a lot and would throw a pretty hard shot in between all the slaps, Plus he fought mostly cans. If he ever fought Jones at 168 he would have got KTFO. If Hopkins gave up his middleweight titles in his prime and legitimately moved up to 168 to fight Joe he would have crushed him.
