no fighter thats ever fought at 168 would beat joe, simple as that. Anyone who think roy jones beats him are deluded. People make out joe was 25 or something when he beat roy. No, they were both old and joe absolutely embarrassed him. A fight in their primes would be closer i think but not enough for roy to beat him.

Originally posted by DreamerUSA View PostThat is a bit much when you consider Benn, McClellan, Hearns, Leonard, Ward, Nunn, Collins, Toney, Jones and I'm sure several I missed all fought there. Also Joe and Roy were'nt even compareable at that stage. Roy had been to heavyweight and back down, taken two Ko losses and had'nt had a win worth mentioning in 5 years.

Roy is the undisputed king...
Calzaghe is probably #2
Followed closely by ward..
Honorable mentions to toney, froch n Kessler n Frankie liles
The division literally has no history so it's a very short list

Originally posted by bigdramashow View Postsome great fighters on that list but i'd pick joe against them all. Put any style of fighter in front of him and joe would have worked them out after a few rounds, his boxing IQ was off the charts

jones ward and toney beat him.
Im not very good with 90s and 80s fighters, there could be more.
geriatric hopkins landed the harder, more accurate punches, he just got outworked by slaps.
Calslappys best wins were over two 40 year olds.
