Now I know that Warren has done a lot for Joe... But has he, over the course of Joe's career, protected him right out of the American eye. His 2 noteable fights were Eubank and Lacy. I know Eubank was over the hill but so was Joe Louis when he faced The Rock.(This is not knocking Joe... The young lion needs to take the torch but I'm just saying these are truly the only noteable fights)
How long have we heard about a Jones fight(since Roy was in his prime)
How long have we heard about a B-Hop fight(forever... But it means less and less every year)
Now we have a JT fight thats been coming up latly(after all is said and done... Do we think this fight will ever take place?)
I think there are alot of reasons why Joe hasn't fought a noteable US draw besides Lacy... I think Warren is one of them. I know that B-Hop had priced himself out of anyone's league at one point but as far as...... Well, I'm just sick of the talk.
I'm sick of how Joe will toss Warren in whenever a commentator or reporter has a question about a fight that COULD happen.
I know he has handlers that make alot of decisions and people that tell him what he should do... The biggest voice is Warren!
Do you know why Oscar is a legend? He fought the best and never made excuses. If the fight made sence it happened.
Do you know why B-Hop is a legend? He fought the best and never made excuses. If the fight made sence it happened.
Am I glad the Mic got ripped away from Warren when he began to talk about Kessler after the Manfredo "fight"?
Hell YES!!! I didn't want to hear his friggin programed answers.
"Well, it looks like the fight could happen but we'll have to talk to Kessler's people."
Shut up warren!
If Joe wants to come over here and win fights in front of the US audience... We would love to have him. I'm sure he would be a star here to. Saddly, he could have been a star 5 yrs ago.
Basicly what I'm saying is that if Joe truly wanted to fight these fights he could have managed it. He chose to listen to Warren and painted himself into a corner where fans are finally wanting to see him against GREAT opposition at 35 years old.
Could Joe have been a legend by now? Yes...
Will he be? I don't know but he still has a shot if he can get a huge fight here in the next year or so or coax a huge name over there to Wales.
