Awww, poor Joe is being picked on cause he hasn't got the sports personality award. Much as I like Joe, I hope he's been wheedled into these comments by a journo (like me), because it doesn't seem like him.

My view is they're probably not picking him for his reasons, they're not picking him because he's Welsh (small percentage of the voting public), because boxing is really a minority sport in Britain, compared to other, mass-participation sports like Football, Rugby and Cricket. And thirdly, until the lacy fight he has never really captured the British public's imagination, because all of the fights have been on sky, which people have to make an effort to seek out and watch, instead of on terrestrial tv which is available to the masses.

Maybe next year wee fella
