I don't see how u can argue the div is stronger. The div is weak. Ward is good but the rest are nowhere near Calzaghe, Hopkins, Jones Jr etc
Your logic is way off bro. Again.
It had seemed that the ship that linked Joe's career to Hopkins and Jones had long gone. Now (IMO) their careers are linked in such a mis-construed way, it's hardly worth mentioning (except for a Jones Hopkins fight that took place at 160).
Hopkins and Jones were both in their forties when Joe fought them. Not saying it's anyone's fault but that's the fact. When Joe was in his prime he fought a weight drained Eubank.
Joe's best win is Kessler. Remember
that was the ''career defining'' fight he was after.
It could be argued that Kessler is the only fighter that currently (and truly) defines Joe's, Andre's and Froch's success as a fighter
