Unfortunatly Joe will not vacate this crappy belt becasue he is so close to breaking the record of most defences ( against who you may ask??) But he should of give this belt up years ago and gone chasing the big boys, but no hes happy defending his belt.
But like i said after the Lacy fight i have real doubts Joe will ever get in the ring again against an elite fighter, think about it, he tends to pull out with his hand when the opponent aint exactly a walkover I.e Johnson and Lacy until Warren basically said pull out here Joe your careers over. he has stated that he hasnt sparred much because of the hands against the likes of Manfredo and Bika, but you cant cut corners like that agaisnt the Kesslers and Hopkins of this world which for me spells danger, if Joes breaking his hand after throwing say 50 punches against Manfredo do you really think them hands will hold up after a few hundred rounds of sparring?? I have my doubts.
it's a shat belt...the WBO isn't even looked at as a title by boxing purists...he'll break a record but it's kinda like getting a record in the minor leagues...it doesn't matter....his legacy, if there is one, will be determined in his next few fights....the legacy is looking more forgettable by the minute....
It feels good to be back home.
