    Billy Joe who?
    He’s effectively irrelevant at this point

    It felt, to me anyway, that after he beat Andy Lee, and had held one of the belts, Billy Joe started to enjoy being "the champ", and the prestige that goes with that, and enjoyed the money, and lost a bit of his edge, his hunger, and it seemed like he was almost holding that belt hostage, knowing that as long as he did any unification attempt by Golovkin, or Canelo, would have to involve him.

    In the end, i think he overplayed his hand and has struggled ever since to be taken seriously; and fighting on the undercard of two You Tubers who have never boxed a round competitively in their lives (I don't count their first "fight") doesn't help.

    He went on for years about how he would beat GGG and Canelo etc...but, it's never come to fruition and it never will.

    So, he avoided having to risk his 0 against any of the top guys.

    Like Fury, he constantly claims to be a "fighting man", yet constantly takes low quality fights, weakening his credibility.

    I must admit though, I've not followed BJS career with huge intensity, so if I'm out of line I'm happy to be corrected.

    Not enough money in fighting him and too risky.
