Look at the weights of the fighters too Winky is he really natural at super mid or light heavy, ODLH was middle his best weight, then you mention Taylor and Jones both who have beaten B.Hop...

Yes it's true that Joe may not have fought some one as cagey as B.Hop.....but believe me B.Hop will not have seen anything like Joe before either...He doesn't just throw punches any old how, he hurts far more than he is given credit for ask Lacy,Kes,or Eubanks he is very very awkward in his style and the guy really is as hard as nails...he loves to fight and has a granite chin too....

And to be honest as NUCLEAR BULL says the past ain't gonna come into it, if it did lets remember Joe ain't been beaten am or pro since 1990 and World Champ a decade or so, and he still looks fresh too...

When questions have been asked of Joe he has always delivered hence being unbeaten, has B.Hop in truth no he ain't he was gonna do wonders in the 2nd Taylor Fight wasn't he even bringing back the mask....but to no avail....

Trust me, I saw Joe from ringside in Manchester destroy Lacy, and tho B.Hop ain't Lacy you see a guy that's as fit and strong as a bull ... and is the better option at this stage of there careers....there styles alone will make this an awkward fight, but again I feel Joe will deal with B.Hops style far far better than B.Hop will deal with Joe's....
