Who went 50-0 as an amateur and 51-0-1 as a pro. defended his WBC title 22 times. Won the WBA & WBO titles.
Not to mention the IBF title which he defende twice before walking out on top. :cool:

Legend he was.

One of the greatest Mexican fighters of all time. Top 3 IMO.

If he beats Jones and it is a IF then he fights Pavlik bye bye goes unbeaten record but i think it will go vs Roy Jones.;)

I would seriously love it if Jones takes out Joe! All this eventual Calzaghe vs Pavlik talk would be right out the window.

I said it from the beginning of the Calzaghe vs Jones Jr. signing, Jones can beat Calzaghe. I think it will go similarly to his fight with Trinidad. When he figures out Joe can't hurt him, Jones will stop being cautious and just land that straight right all night!

He would be just 3 fights away from Marciano's legendary all time record and 4 fights away from equalling Joe Luis for the most ever title defenses.

So if I was Joe my plan would be to fight Roy Jones, then take on Pavlik.

Now if he wins he'd be 48-0.

It would be stupid to retire at that point, it's like climbing Everest, getting 15 meters from the top and then saying 'That's high enough' and climbing back down.

If I was him I'd take the Jones and Pavlik fights to secure my legacy as a great fighter.

If I won them both I'd then fight 3 absolute stiffs, maybe give Manfredo a rematch before challenging Wayne Elcock and John Duddy or something just to break all records.

To retire undefeated at 47-0 just 3 fights away from breaking two of the most prestigious records in the sport is like pulling your racing car into the pits after leading on the final lap.

He must fight on, against bums just to get those wins and break those records imo.

Do it for Britain! :cool:

;D Shut that theory down really fast... huh?

;D

I think that would be asking a bit much of Joe. 5 more fights.

His real concern is getting the big fights and getting out undefeated...wich is resonable enough.

"If" he beats Jones and Pavlik IMO he can put the seal on his legacy...going on to match other records fighting gimme's would be a dis-credit to him I think. 2 more, that should satisfy the remaining critics.

Provided he wins of course.

How's he looking past a guy he says is his last fight?

5 fights is 4 too far for Joe.

It should be Jones and out - alas I think (if he does get past a far from given victory v Jones) the money on offer to fight Pavlik will be too great for him to turn down.

Pavlik is too young, strong and hungry and I can't see Joe emerging the victor in that - I can see him getting badly kayoed in fact :-\
