not by me thats for sure the guy is scary his eyes are so intense as he just patiently stalks you then he strikes and its beautiful to watch and its not just his power hes got the skill he throws accurate punches now I want to see him step up and fast hes ready he needs to fight 3 solid names this year and then a title shot in march or so of 07

Problem is, he fights guys that force you to move backward. He looked like a bull against Codrington, but that's by no means his style. If he continues to fight like he did, extremely agressive, he's gonna hurt guys.

He's a starved elephant at super middle.

thats what I'm saying he has a good punch good movement and solid skills in a few of the fights I have seen him in it looks like he is holding back when he should be attacking he frustrates me more than anyother fighter I have seen recently beside the codrington fight he needs to fight up to his own level

What impresses me the most about Joel is his technical brilliance. You'll never see him drop either hand after he finishes throwing a punch, he always returns it to his ear as his moves his head away from the anticipated punch. And he will be anticipating that punch, because he waits and analyzes you before putting together his first combination. The only, and I mean only, fighter capable of defeating Joel once he gets to the top will be an incredibly strong swarmer with a good chin, and good ability to slip straight shots. That's the thing about Joel, if he doesn't get you with his jab or cross, and you close in on him, you have to deal with his body shots. And those body shots up close are coming from a wiry frame, we all know wiry guys are known for that power. Joel always finishes up top after throwing a combination to the body, and when he finishes each punch in his combination he'll return that hand to his ear, or pick a perfect angle to move to after the combination and jump to it with the earmuffs on.

I'm prepared to get flamed for saying this, but Joel Julio has shown me the promise of being the next Ali-caliber fighter of this era, with Whitaker and Mayweather being the other two. When I say Ali-caliber, I'm talking about a fighter who can do damage well up close, has great technical ability to roll with punches and defend his chin at all times, even in the midst of throwing his own combinations, and be devastating at a range. The only thing I'm unsure of about Julio is his chin, which remains untested.

The whole package is there, technical ability, great, freakish power, plenty of power inside, and plenty of power on the end of his shots. Nice reach as well in that division, so he's very versatile. While he hasn't stepped up in competition yet, I have this feeling that Joel will do very well against superior opposition. Much like that feeling I had when Mike was coming up, this subliminal confidence, I just know Joel will be a unified champion in a few years, it's his destiny.
