From what ive heard in interviews with Joe, his father and other people close it took his father to keep him as focused and hard working as he was in training and in fights. He may of took his foot off the pedal too many times if it had been somebosy else.

But the way i see it, if his hands had held up through the years and his promoter had balls and a love of the sport of boxing instead of a love for money his career could of took him to a level where his record would not be questioned by alot of people.
