I honestly don't know how beating a WBO #13 gets you into the top 5. Yes, if Joseph won, it would be a good win, but to me it would only solidify his #8 ranking. KB also said that a top 5 ranking would make it harder to get opponents. I would think it would make it easier. Surely a guy out of the top 10 would want your top 5 ranking. It would line him up for a possible title shot in the future. At #8, I'm sure KB and Joseph would want to fight a top 5 guy, like Glazkov.
And this OHR business. Sure, Joseph gets hit from time to time, but he takes it well. The opponent is bound to hit you with something. Sure, guard against it, see it as a weakness, but don't dwell on it. I'm sure KB had sparring partners throw left hooks and OHR during sparring.
