    Well, at least a fight with the Pavlik/Miranda winner is more likely now, as that is the fight I'd prefer to Calzaghe-Taylor...

      Not a chance Warren will give Taylor 10 mil. We might aswell forget this fight now cos it aint gonna happen. Hopefully he'l fight RJJ or wait for Hopkins in September because if Calzaghe fights Inkin im gonna stop following him completely.

        Frank Warren's reply: "Taylor is obviously making outrageous demands in order to duck Calzaghe. We will instead fight yet another bum."

          That fight absolutely will happen. Calzaghe/Inkin, I feel, is an absolute definite for July. They may want a bigger name but they're not gonna get it and Warren's trying to salvage his TV deal. It's a poor fight but there we go.

          They should go for Froch but they won't. Too much risk for too little reward.

            From what I've heard, Inkin is a very tough opponent.

              He knows deep down that he couldn't live with Calzaghe.

              $10 million is outrageous, today's heavyweights aren't even earning that.

                  Inkin may be "tough" but after 20 defences Calzaghe should be fighting Kessler/Wright/Taylor or Hopkins. Not somebody hardly anybody has heard of

                    Exactly Taylor knows he'll get slaughtered. Little *****.
