Well the thing with Kostya is that after he first lost as a pro he came back and unified all the belts by fighting the best guys in his division. We don't know if Joe could have come back from a loss in such a way and never will and we know he never fought the best in his division.
Joe has a good record and retired unbeaten but I'd say coming back from a loss and dominating the division is just as great.
