In the post conference it was clear that Joe was still angry at Bernard's racial verbal swipes at him when he declared that Hopkins lost to a white boy.
It had to have a strong impact in the fight and it compromised his performance against Bernard, there was an element of doubt and anger in the way he fought. (You could tell because Joe would do an uncharacteristic frown which blew his cheeks further than his nose)
He was wild and just let his hands go without much techinque, no doubt the
Joe Calzaghe who beat Eubank would of knocked out Hopkins. (He also forgot to throw round house punches against Bernard, hooks generally get faster to the target then straight punches which is why Pacquiao was ineffective against Rustico Torrecampo and lost in the 3rd)
Eubank has a superiour chin than Hopkins (watch him against Nigel Benn and Benn is P4P heaviest hitters in history) and he almost got knocked out himself.
So its pretty evident now that Joe would KO Hopkins and Jones in their respective primes, it was obvious that Joe held back against Roy so he might not kill him. Roy is still a young man and can still make new babies, its unfair on his existence.
Nonetheless Joe once again ****ted on their respective heads as a sign to secure his unblemished legacy.
