The two best fights of Joe's career were Lacy (one dimensional but undefeated at the time) and Kessler (good fight and performance for Joe who had to adapt to win). Roy was a shell of his prime self and that win was not impressive at all for me. Joe beat some decent competition (Eubank was passed his best also but that was still a solid win) but to say he is the greatest ever at that weight is debatable in my opinion. As for being undefeated, Marciano retired undefeated but he barely makes my top ten HW of all time.
What a load of crap.
