You are correct! I guess you could argue the opposite of what I said: Joe can fight anyone he wants. He won't be getting a shot at AJ or Wilder in at least a year, and there won't be any box offs to fight either one of them. As long as he stays in the top 10, he only needs to fight guys who give him some $$$ and hopefully help his skills. At some point, there will be a box off for the right to fight AJ or Wilder, and he'll be right there.
