Yeah, I agree, fvck them, they should man up, for the average boxing fan at least, and take the hard fight for their charges' and their own sake and manly hood.

Joe Louis accepts the fight against James Corbett.
Make it so.

If the Big Bee withdraws (which is plausible)
Louis will offer a fight to Harry Wills.

If they both run, it will have to be Joe Louis vs John Ruiz.

But Louis vs Corbett is signed for my part.

I hardly think so, you do not call the shots here little fish.

He has two title shots, more than you have.

Indeed. And the sole reason for that is your generousity toward him, rather than actually deserving them.
Both of my fighters are currently ranked above his...

I guess you just want the easy fights, to keep your title reign ongoing.

Norton got his ranking by fight bums though, yeah?

Deserving is the key word here. Maybe Louis is more deserving than Liston and Moore, but are you more deserving than Ben?

I'm not negotiating with Louis and Norton, I'm negotiating with you. Norton was offered a shot, you declined - you missed out.

I'm not going to hide the fact I've taken on a couple of easier opponents than Louis, but taking Dempsey as an example, he's fought Joe Jeanette twice, Joe Frazier, Young Stribling (who just beat Ali), Vitali Klit, Riddick Bowe, Harry Wills, George Foreman AND the hardest one out of them all, Gene Tunney.

If you want a shot, earn your promotional label a better reputation as your sinking to the depths of Buzz's banner.

If you haven't the ability do so, then get in the mandatory positions.

Well.... Not really. Look at Snortin's record, he's beat Ibeauchi, Max Baer, James Corbett, Shavers and Tua.
And he's lost to Schmeling and Harry Wills.

That's a fine list of fighters right there. The list is made up of solid fighters...
Unlike the Big Bee, I am not feeding Snortin' cpu fighters as a priority.

You know fine rightly that Norton would have lsot that fight... It would have been bad management if I had taken it.

Norton would have lost against Dempsey which is the reason why The Juice offered himself.

There is not too much difference between The Juice and Norton at HW. My record looks better because am the better manager. That is all.

My fighters are deserving Crease, moreso than Louis and Norton.

Moore has fought some tough names, KO'ing Shavers and fighting Harry Wills twice (a W and L), Tiger Fox, amongst others.

Liston extend Ali to SD. Louis lost a clear decision to him.

Jb has offered the shots, and both my guys are underdogs, but if you don't want to get wet, don't step out in the rain.

Ali actually stopped Louis, and Ali can't punch for shit!

If you want, I will run it by him for next week?

Sounds good! Let me know for next week.

Crease is not an honorable manager! We'll have little to do with him for now.

Corbett will target practice this week on Tex Cobb in prep for the possible Madison affair.
