Im sorry but explain this one to me

Calzaghe has over 40 fights without a loss he should be fighting the best of the best right now. If he would have fought outside of England he might be fighting the big names now or not because he might have lost earlier.

Calzaghe is ****ing Welsh. He has therefore fought outside England numerous times and has fought outside the UK twice.

you know what i mean he needs to fight in the U.S. against top quality opponents and see how good he really is.

Perhaps you can persuade these 'quality opponents' to fight him then.

To be fair the likes of Hopkins haven't really wanted to fight Joe either. The US hasn't exactly been a dominant force in the 168 lb division either, so there haven't been too many US opponents for him to fight.

I think JC is pretty good he put a beat down Lacy. I just want to see him against a really good opponent.

**** the US then, why not fight Froch? if someone calls you out that much, i mean he rips joe every chance he gets why not get in the ring and try and smash him? and back to the US, if there is no1 in your divions and your gettin called all this stuff about not fightin the best fighters etc etc why not move down or up a weight!

Personally i'd have preferred to see Calzaghe - Froch, rather than Calzaghe - Manfredo, but a fight with Froch wouldn't gain Calzaghe the recognition in the States that he is looking for. Someone mentioned to me that Froch needs to compete against a better level of opponent before calling out Calzaghe, but IMO he would pose a bigger threat to Calzaghe than Manfredo will.

Joe Calzaghe's problem has been that all of the Americans whined about him not fighting top opposition, so he went out of his way to ****ing **** the best yank fighter in his division, and even after that he still doesn't get the respect he deserves. No doubt if he beat up on Mikkel Kessler people would find someone else who he should fight before he has proven himself.
