Thats good news about the pro/ams fights. Hopefuly am fighters will get the funding to develop there talents.

I like the idea of Calzaghe vs Tito, i think Tito can carry that punch up to super middle so it would be very interesting. I have said before that Calzaghe could beat anyone from middle to light heavy but i forgot about Tito, i'm unsure now.
