    32 KOs from 46 fights. Slapper but!

    Undefeated in two weight divisions!

    Joe was a far superior boxer to Froch mate. That's just the truth of the matter.

    You don't even need to be a KO merchant to be a good boxer, look at Mayweather, he probably didn't KO anybody in his last 10 years of boxing.

    Most likely due to him being a rampant, raving ****tah <ok>

    It's not rocket science.

    Best defensive boxer of all time IMHO but a tough watch.

    Waited for Manny to become old before finally facing him as he knew he would've got flattened in their prime days.

    He was a concussive KO merchant and there is nothing wrong with that.

    He landed a sheer volume of punches which wore his opponent down, which again, is no bad trait.

    Never a KO merchant and I think Froch would've taken him out in the latter rounds.

    Where did I say you need to be a KO merchant to be a good boxer?

    I said Joe was the best British boxer of all time. Yermaw said he was a slapper that Carl Froch would have beat which means he thinks Froch was better than Joe even though Froch was an actual factual KO merchant.

    Incredible stuff tbh.

    Sheer number of punches is it?

    So not slaps then?

    And I don't believe I said that Joe wasn't a great boxer - he was.

    It's just my honest opinion that he should've fought Froch.

    He got some good pay days in his latter days against Hopkins & RJJ (who would've battered Joe in his prime) so fair play.

    Froch went in against Taylor and put him away and then went into the Super Six and unfortunately came up short against a brilliant, Andre Ward.

    I agree the two should have fought but it didn't happen so you have to go by each boxer's record and what they are thought about by the boxing world and the boxing world has Joe up there with the best mate.

    The majority of them were not punches, no.

    Tippy-tappy Guardiola-type punches.

    So he's went from a slapper to a concussive boxer to most of his punches being tippy tappy!

    Ffs mate make your mind up.

    You're out Doiding Doid here.

    It's not really that hard to comprehend.

    For punches, read mainly slaps with the inside of the glove.

    If you take too many of said 'slaps', they will grind you down with the sheer volume he threw.
