Cobra does the business

Ok you make some fair points. But Calzaghe is fighting a blown up Light Welterweight. If Manfredo deserves a shot, why does Froch not deserve it??
Calzaghe has a long list of opponents who are nowhere near as good as Froch
Bika
Ashira
Saleem
and on and on.
Calzaghe was also due to fight Magee.

Simple truth is Calzaghe in swerving this massive british Fight.

Manfredo is still a name though, Froch isn't at this time. It's not good for boxing, but from a business point of view, it's smart.

Exactly. Its not the point at all who Calzaghe faces or why, Calzaghe has the record, has the credibility, has the couple of big names on his resume and most importantly has the title. The point is that Froch needs to prove himself to be a worthy opponent and more importantly, a worthy pay-day.

The onus is on him to make himself a tasty fight, not on Calzaghe to give him a chance.

Yes Manfredo is a Name. He Lost on a TV Show twice. He is a blown up Light Welter.
Calzaghe has avoided every big name for years. Tarver, Jones, Johnson, Hopkins, Toney and on and on and on.
Froch will go for Kessler.

I think that you are getting quite a bit carried away with yourself.

Its true though isnt it?? hes fighting a TV Show 2 time looser. Typical Frank Warren wont put his fighters in with risky opponents.
