why kessler will not fight calzaghe

[deuce_drop]

Perhaps Kessler could try out for The Contender next year and hope it leads to a fight with Calzaghe down the road

ha, that would seem to be the best way to guarantee a fight with Calzaghe. that or look like you have nothing to offer if he beats you.

[jangeorg]

why does he need all the boxing politics to protect him? why does he need shifty match making to his career? why isnt he fighting the top opposition in and around his division? it's either frank warren is trying to cash in on him as much as possible or it's that they're afraid to step outside his comfort zone. and i'm sick and tired of hearing that Calzaghe makes more money in his home town, that's bull**** because at this point it ought to be about staying undefeated and beating the best opposition out there, not fighting has beens and guys that aren't ready yet, 98% of which have been in Calzaghes turf......

and why doesn't Calzaghe fight Kessler and try and unify?why?uh?why?

I would say it is fair to say that Warren has a huge influence in WBO. The only one who has similar influence is Klaus Peter Kohl. That is why Calzaghe had to face a mandatory. Even the tv-networks of Warren and Kohl has been written in to the regulations of WBO:
(In the event that the Champion has a contract with a major television network (HBO, SHOWTIME, ZDF, Sky or other similar broadcast company), is an acceptable challenger to the Champion’s television network.)

That would mean Kessler would have to lose some fights.

So it is therefore Calzaghe will fight guy`s like Bika and Manfredo

The Bika fight was a comeback fight after a long lay off for HBO... the Manfredo fight is for public profile in the US, again arranged by HBO (you know, the company that's paying Joe $$$$$$ and don't give a **** about Kessler).


Don't you get BORED of typing the same ****? Schnell, schnell!

whoopty ****ing doo, that is so far from home. it's like saying that an american fighter is a world traveled fighter because he fought in tijuana, twice.
or fought in another state in the US. it's might as well be home, like his promoter doesn't have ties in those countries, why do you think he fought over there because he's covered, that's the only reason he fought out of town. i say town because everything is so close in europe.

i aint getting on you bro but damn dude that isnt really isnt taking a risk, other than getting into the ring.

my thing is this Calzaghe is a extremely good fighter, why does he need all the boxing politics to protect him? why does he need shifty match making to his career? why isnt he fighting the top opposition in and around his division? it's either frank warren is trying to cash in on him as much as possible or it's that they're afraid to step outside his comfort zone. and i'm sick and tired of hearing that Calzaghe makes more money in his home town, that's bull**** because at this point it ought to be about staying undefeated and beating the best opposition out there, not fighting has beens and guys that aren't ready yet, 98% of which have been in Calzaghes turf......

and why doesn't Calzaghe fight Kessler and try and unify?why?uh?why?

Congratulations, you've just mastered the art of "ignorant Yankee doddle dandy geography". Well done.

Scotland is part of the UK. Europe is composed of a number of very different countries: The US is just one country. A US fighter fighting in another US state is the same kind of thing as Calzaghe fighting in England and Scotland. A US fighter fighting in Germany is the same as a british fighter fighting in Germany: They're in a completely foreign land with a hostile crowd facing German officials (David Starie, Robin Reid, Charles Brewer: Two Brits, one US American, all three robbed in Germany).

Lesson for today: Europe is not a single ****geneous entity, unlike say, Florida and New Jersey there are massive differences between independent sovereign countries such as Germany and the United Kingdom.

ha, that is funny..............hopkins is old but he can still hold his own.

but Calzaghe needs to fight Kessler, period!!!!!!!!! unification bout baby!

yeh but what brings more money to the table?

a fight no1 cares about apart from boxin fans, hopkins is a household name in the states and is a HOF'er.

get off the kessler boat u twat... calzaghe has been a champ for a decade. just like hopkins. if kessler wants calzaghe his promotor should offer 95% of the purse. with all UK judges if he thinks Kessler is the best. yes im ***in ignnorent. who gives a *** about kessler anyway.

who is he? and whos he fought..

EXACTly

LOL, I love the way that SOME US posters see "Europe" (a conglomerate of 25 separate countries with VERY different cultures and many differing ideals) as being part of the same "backyard". This is particularly hilarious when it gets said about Germany.

Like a UK fighter is gonna get favours from there. They're still remembering the azz pwnage we gave 'em during the war. (And the Americans helped clean up after it was practically over, despite what they get taught in schools)

95% there it goes again hiding behind the money.......................and the whole europe and being neighbors over there, ya know different countries and all, that's just to get you sissy la la's goat. the point of all that is warren never makes or takes a risk with his cash cow, calzaghe has lived under protection his whole career, fighting hand picked guys and never fighting out of his comfort zone. saying that isnt true you're in denial.
