Sigh..... And mankind fails again.

This appears to have fizzled to a complete non-story. Probably the best possible outcome.

Thankfully it looks like some kind of cheap publicity stunt, and mercifully it doesn't sound like he is going to fight again.


....I hope.

Joes a showman, he's not a boxer now. He simply makes a mockery of sport full stop, or he's broke .

Did Joe ever actually win a heavyweight world title. Came close against the best years ago , but I didn't think he won a world title, not one worthy of the name at least , in those days.

Must check. I don't think he won a major title. Perhaps an alphabet one? WBF when he beat Bonecrusher Smith?

Fought in a tough, tough era for heavyweights, and went the distance with both Ali & Frazier. I think he's the only fighter to have done that.

In the current heavyweight division he would have done very well. He was certainly durable enough to go the distance against the Klitschkos. Something most current heavyweights aren't capable of.
