I know what would appeal to me more, Joe asking to fight them before he has unified is similar to what Kessler could do. It is unappealing to any fighter to fight Joe at this stage, and if he thinks "after Frank Warren declared his next bout, scheduled for February, won't be the career-defining fight he's looking for. Calzaghe's next action looks like being a unification fight against Dane Mikkel Kessler."

Then he has a long night ahead. Any unification bout is a career defining fight.
whilst i definately think your opinion is very well thought and i never really thought of something that way!!... i dont feel it is the case..
i think that could take a role with other fighters.. but not winky and jt..
winky and jt will fight anybody, because they believe they are the very best...
i mean jt has taken more big fights in his last 3 and his next fight then joe has in his career..
bernard hopkins twice and winky wright then having ' a easyer fight' with the still very talented and dangerous kassim ouma, props to the guy he has balls!
and winky wright has also fought and beat some of the very best of the era, and he'll pretty much fight anybody, hes fought alot of fights abroad and on short notice!! and i cant say ive ever seen him hurt by another fighter!
i really hope joe fights one of them... because its the step up that is expected of him..
peace
