This is stupid. If they plan him to become a next world champ, he should follow Wilder`s route. Fight 30 bums in row and get your name in top 10. Than fight fringe contenders.
Kid is 21 or 22, he has plenty of time. Why they already force him in such a dangerous fight? Warren thinks Joyce is shot?
Warren is hurting for big type fights, and this one he can fully control. Also he figures it's a can't loose situation. DD loses, then he is still young and can easily bounce back. Joyce looses, he can still use him for other fights, and his stock was never really that high anyway.
