    It wasn't Calzaghe who walked away last time.

    Great news though. Excellent stuff. I have little doubt Calzaghe would travel for it.

      Calzaghe said on Soccer am that he wanted a fight with Hopkins, I hope he excepts this challenge.

          Oh man this is good news except that Hopkins made it clear in those quotes that he is not interested in giving Calzaghe a fair cut of the pie. Calzaghe meanwhile has options.

              I think calzaghe is a good fighter but hes not going to get a 50/50 cut over here in the U.S, Especially against Hopkins,Taylor and winky.

                25% of a Hopkins fight is still worth 3 times any other offer he'll get for any Euro. Calzaghe ain't an idiot - they'll take a reasonable offer.

                  Calzaghe needs Hopkins more, than Hopkins needs him. Calzaghe shouldn't give a damn about the money split for this fight.

                      Calzaghe should first fight the man who beat Hopkins, Jermain Taylor. A win would make the fight against Hopkins bigger and Calzaghe could ask for more money.
