Brilliant analysis Wacko and nice to hear someone speak up Joes side, I read in the press at the time of the Lacy fight that Joe would be facing a cross between Hollyfield and Tyson at there best...

And to be honest, having watched a hell of a lot of Joe and a little Lacy, I COULD NOT SEE THE THREAT AT ALL...

Joe is as hard as they come and can fight the fight with anyone out there......or box a master class...

So for me in the Kessler fight Joe's hardness, and do not under estimate that, combined with excellent boxing ability, and phenomenal hand and foot speed, as well as being able to punch from angles that are as yet undiscovered by man see's him blasting Kessler into points oblivion...

A well boxed and fought big points decision for Joe, I was ringside for the Lacy fight (got lucky there eh) and he was blurring in speed and pain full in his slaps...hard as nails when he needed.

From the first round he'd chose a tactic that meant he would meet Lacy head on ...and he did in so in such style too...

But then to the press and so on was Joe that good then, Naaaaaa just Lacy an over hyped puncher, errrrrr that could not punch....according to Joe that is...(did anyone here the US commentary on that one when Joe goes Back to the corner at the end of the second I think it was and said to his dad, he cant punch shit, hes got f**k all)..
