There easily a big enough European market for Calzaghe-Kessler so, quite frankly, the american money could get to **** from that point of view.

    As for Froch not being a mandatory, isn't he now #1 contender for the WBC given Andrade's defeat and Bute's targeting of the IBF?
    What European market? How many European fights, without British fighters, do you get in the UK?
    Did you get the last Kessler fight?

    That’s the problem with Euro fights/fighters, the market for a fight rarely stretches beyond a few more countries than the ones involved.

    Kessler told Danish media he would like to move to the US right away, and let HBO more or less decide who he fights. - Can't blame him, since we are only 5 mill. people in Denmark, he might make more fans outside quite fast.

    There is still 1 year until Kessler’s next WBC mandatory, this should give Froch time to prove himself.

      The same can be said of American fights though. Aside from the mega-fights and direct rivals to British fighters, there's little coverage of US boxing in the UK, just as there is little coverage of UK boxing in the US.

        You have not yet responded to the question about why big gloves are required to catch a semi hard ball in baseball??? it appears to be girly in the extreme.
        LOL, this from the same culture that wears skirts and plays bagpipes. Here in America we call those folks drag queens.

        Oh and yeah, the brits are soooo tough. The Iranians tortured their sailors and marines for 2 weeks with three square meals, business suits, and blindfolds...in 3 days there were on television kissing the feet of Ahmedinajad. Cowards to the very last.

          Re the British sailors, I think any time it's looking like there's going to be a kidnapping we should open fire on the Iranians, or send out a team of special forces and kidnap those guys. I would hope I would never be in a situation in which I was a "guest" of Iran personally. I'm frankly disgusted by your attitude towards captured military personnel, and I wonder how many US soldiers or sailors would be entirely happy about your dismissal of our sailors because of this situation.
          Forget it. Like the French you brits are all apologies and no balls. It's frankly quite embarassing to be your allies. Without US leadership you europeans can't decide on what clothes to wear the next day.

          And if you want to see what America thinks of your military's display of weakness, turn on CNN or MSNBC. Everyone is talking about how the brits folded like a house of cards.

              But it's interesting when Americans espouse manliness yet don't really live it.
              This from a canadian? What has canada EVER done that has made a real impact on world events? You're just lucky that frozen pond you call home is too worthless for us to annex as our 51st state.

                You still havent answered the question about baseball gloves. You are from a culture that wears pillow cases with holes cut for eyes and burn people because of the colour of their skin???

                Just answer the baseball question

                I bet you get a lot of backache, with all the bowing down to Israel.

                  The great thing about arguing with a brit is they lay their own traps and step in them for you.

                  The brits invented slavery and racism with their centuries of imperialism. Forgot it was the brits who brought ****** to America in the first place? LOL Africa and the middle east is still ****ed up thanks to european meddling. Israel? She's our *****, just like Britain. See, you both have something in common: you do what America tells you to do. You know this is the truth and that's why it hurts.

                    Why do all these threads end up in people talking bull****, instead of arguing some of the facts?

                      Yeh yeh, but you still refuse to answer to baseball question.
                      Truth is the ***ish vote can swing elections in the USA which is why youre so up Israels ass.
                      P4P the brits would piss all over your load of musle bound, pumped up, trigger happy, gung ho meatheads. Our Special Forces are by for the best in the world, and if you argue that you realy are a moron.
