Point is, would Taylor agree to it?
Second of all this has limited relevancy to the main point, which i shall now repeat.
After the Lacy fight, Joe Calzaghe said the following
''I only want the big fight from now on''
Then he fought Sakio Bika, lol
After that fight he and warren claimed they wanted Carrer defining fights
So,
Joe Calzaghe fought a guy who he knew had no chance against him
Why?
Joe and Frank said 'The fight happened to make Joe a big name in America, this will get Joe noticed etc etc''
The card was a disgrace
Larry Merchant ignored Warren in the post fight interview
And everyone agreed the fight stunk HBO out completely.
Im pretty sure the average US fan doesnt know who Joe calzaghe is
Im pretty sure Calzaghe hasnt got the respect of the majority of US fans.
Therefore the Manfredo fight was a failure,
If Joe Calzaghe and Frank Warren really want Joe Calzaghe to be a big name in the US, and to make more money
he has to fight over in the US (for reasons i have already stated in this thread)
Just like Lennox Lewis, who was more respected than Joe in the US
And just like Ricky Hatton
Who is also more respected than Joe in the US.
Thats the main point.
thanks.
I would also like to add, that for some reason Paulstokes has quoted certain posts under my name, which i have not posted, i dont think this is malcious, im just pointing it out.
