retiring al this stage of his career.
Joe can tie one hand behind
his back and whip most OF the
present day heavyweights. So
what's his reason for wanting 10
retire?
And the guy can pull down
some big purses after the war. A
fight with Billy Conn should draw
a million dollars. And he could
take on Godoy and a few other
stumblebums.
II, for one. don't want 10 see him
retire right after peace has been
declared"
Joe is the greatest champion
ever TO hold the heavyweight
title says Joe Williams. "He has
defended his title more often than
all OF the former champions put
together, and that title has been i'm
danger only once-Nwhen he fought
Billy Conn
In addition. Joe has been a real
credit 10 boxing-and 10 America.
He's been a gentleman in and out
Of the ring, and his actions in both
places have brought a world Of
credit 10 the Negro
NO. ! don't think he should re-
tire right now |, for one. would
want him 10 continue 10 fight for
al least year or more after peace
has been declared "
Some more letters on Joc's re-
tirement will be printed next
