Or risk losing and f-ing up his legacy?
First & foremost...I don't want you to get all misty eyed & think we need to have a group hug...but that was about the best...most level headed post that youv'e put up on this site...period!
I know you don't give two shats...but that earned you some respect from ole' drunken Wacko...& I aint bullshattin.
In the end...IWHO...I think that Joe should hang it up. I'd love to see him fight Tarver, Johnson, Jones, & whoever...but his hands are brittle & they are falling apart. I'd rather remember him for his good fights & amazing showings than I would him going out on his shield.
Many people don't understand me & my position on boxers...but look at all that he has accomplished.
Be a shame to see him lose it due to the fact that his hands are made of glass.
Retirement would be fine to me.
