The manga is dragging its feet, but I wouldn't say it's not worth reading/watching.
The original run of the show and the seasons that followed are pretty damn good honestly, but they only cover about 1/3 of the story that's in the manga. What I did was watch the show, then read the manga (but started from the beginning) to continue the story.
it's good to read it all at once rather than waiting months and months to get a few pages that only cover 30 seconds of a 12 round fight.
But yes I hold Ashita no Joe as much more concise, better told story, but Ippo is doing it's own thing and it has its strong points. I still think it's up there as one of the best, but Joe is THE GOAT, and one of the most inspirational animes of all time. You've likely seen references to it without even realizing it, webm related.
