Big Benn Tells Big Joe To Cross The Sea!

[GEOFFHAYES]

"When there are millions of dollars at stake you can't play around, there's always someone around the corner waiting to pull you down.

"I remember being offered $3million early in 1989 to fight Michael Nunn, which was an insane ammount for a British boxer back then and for me back then, but my manager at the time Ambrose Mendy turned it down and said he wanted to wait until the offer was $5million.

"I made peanuts over there (USA) compared to what I made in Britain, but I could have made millions more over there against the old legends of the 80's (Leonard, Hearns or Duran) if I hadn't lost against (Michael) Watson or (Chris) Eubank.

"Joe is in an awesome position right now and he simply cannot hang around at home waiting for some mandatory contender to come along and cause an upset. It would be a travesty for him after so many years of frustration, and also personal trouble that I can relate to.

"There are millions of dollars out there for him to grab right now, this minute. He wants to go over right now."

I think Joe knows that and dont need benn to tell him.

I hope Joe knows that but judging his history there is cause for fans of his to be real concerned.

Let's hope he acts on it.

He shouldn't settle for anything other than Kessler, Taylor, Hopkins or Wright in his next fight and those fights would be easiest to make in the States.

Neither of them are available, but Froch and Jones are.. and they are credible names.

What's up with Kessler? Little ***** injury? Tough. Joe's hands are falling apart FFS.

He wants a shot at the champ, he should take it or leave it.

He has the WBA and WBC belts, which is better than nothing. But Taylor, Hopkins or Wright would be far more credible.. only Taylor is fighting in May and Hopkins and Wright are fighting eachother. So to kill time, slap Kessler about and then see whos left.
