joe c went on record to say he didn't want to travel and didn't want hard fights..he said this shyt in his prime..to me = no fighter's heart
who ducked joe c in his prime?
the only champ that avoided him was the aforementioned sven ottke cuz he didn't want to unify the belts (and fight out of Germany)..I need to see this list of what 168 champs/contenders in the late 90s to mid 2000s you thought ducked joe c..because 168 was not a poppin division for US fighters during that period
and if you think the majority of fighters joe c fought during his reign were better than the cats in the super 6 then you don't know shyt about boxing..past prime versions of roy and b-hop are not victories to be proud of...i actually hold his victory over Kessler and lacy (but fukk joe c for giving lacy that beating
) in higher regard than those 2...and arguably he lost to b-hop..after the jones fight...there were plenty of cats waiting for him at 168 and 175 and he retired because of "hand trouble" to sniff his brains out on coke
