Manfredo! Come on. Joe wants alot of respect and he seemed on his way to it so why go back to fighting guys like Manfredo.If you wanna be known as one of the best fighters you gotta fight the best. Every fighter is entitled to a few easy fights but i think joe has used his all up. I feel the same about hatton who after fighting b and c level comp his whole career finally stepped up and beat a great fighter in tszyu just to go back and fight maussa and collazo. Don't give me that collazo is a good test crap because if pbf fought him in his first fight at ww people would definitely talk down on him.But hatton is supposed to be the guy with the best chance to beat pbf but its ok for him to fight a collazo. Joe should fight kessler or move up and rick should be fighting cotto,witter,or margarito. These are the fights that will get them the respect they think they deserve.
Agreed 100%.
