I take some of the points made in this thread, but Tito KO'ed a very good middleweight before he went into that Nard fight and he was undefeated.

Nard has more recognised names on his record, but I'd say Joe has faced as many if not more legit threats to his throne.

The most difficult opponent on either record is Kessler IMO.

Both records have worked on some major padwork though.

It'll all be irrelevent when Joe beat Nard anyway.
