OK on the HBO version of Joe Vs Hopkins the HBO team said when he got knocked down in the 1st round they said Eubank had Joe down in there fight....
and when Joe was interviewed at the end the guy interviewing mentioned when Eubank had Joe and the canvas and Joe didnt correct him.
I do not remember Joe getting knocked down in that fight and the only KD i remember was Joe knocking Eubank down in the first round.
can someone confirm i aint losing my mind here as its been bugging me all day :D
You're not losing your mind.. (although probably already have running this nut house ;D)
Calzaghe got him over in the first. That's it.
Think Joe was being too polite to correct him.
cheers mate it was said by 2 different people on HBO and with Joe not correcting him i thought i might have benn wrong....
really bugged me that mate ;)
I think Joe has only ever been knocked down by one other opponent hasn't he in his career? It was a flash knockdown like the one against Bernard.
i can only remember Mitchell but it was a corker shot that put Joe down.... great fight that one :cool:
I was just about to say, no it wasn't him, Joe destroyed that guy. I then checked Boxrec and you are right!heheQuote:

Those are the 3 times he has ever been down, other than that he has a great chin.;)
This is why I feel that Roy Jones has a chance against Joe...Do you remember that sneaky uppercut he hit Hanshaw with to put him down? The punch was delivered while Roy was fighting off the ropes. Was a cracking uppercut which I have to believe would probably have taken Joe out too. Without comparing Hanshaw to Calzaghe (would be stupid) but Joe does rush in sometimes with his hands all over the place leaving himself defenceless. I think Roy would love him for thatQuote:

at times HoBO say inaccurate shyt like that, and they go along like they know everything boxing. I actually believe they edit shyt out sometimes when they replay a fight.
