Jermain Taylor: "Calzaghe, I Want $10 Million"

[paulstokes2432]

[QUOTE=Technical_Skill;2289797]

Dear Paul,

I suggest you re-read my post,

then get back to me,

My post explains how and why the body can detect light, and its relations with healthy eating, training and general well being.

To take this back onto topic.

Joe Calzaghe wants to be known as name in the US, thats why he claims he wanted to fight Manfredo, a guy who he knew didnt belong in the same ring as him.

The HBO- Manfredo fight was a shambles,

The only way Joe can get respect by Amercians, and be a truly big name name in the US, Like Lennox lewis,

Is to go over and fight in the US, like other great british fighters have had to.

Yawn.

Regards.

I did read your post mate and its all true but doesnt really apply. Yes eating at night is unhealthy and isn't good for sleep but thats if u eat before u sleep not if he eats 4-5 hrs before he sleeps as he wouldn't be changing his daily schedule. I agreed with u and said i would like to see Joe fight in the US but not for he reasons you have given as there is no real substance to them and i also see no reason for Taylor not to come here. If Taylors ppl want the fight in the US why don't they make warren an offer for Joe to go there and fight instead of spouting rediculous figures to come here?

But Taylor would still be training and eating at night, and sleeping at day under your proposals.

That is bad for the body.

If Taylor does the opposite of what you are saying and trains and eats in the day, then sleep at night etc.

Then his body clock will be affected.

Comprende?

Elite sportsmen travel the world and perform at top level. This is not an Issue for me, there will be so much time for both to be properly prepared.

Good point, i wouldnt mind a trip to Copenhagen for this, great place.
If he goes after Kessler, i feel by the time the fight happened, Calzaghe would be either retired or move up a weight. I honestly think froch wants the Calzaghe fight on his record. Because he wants to beat the best. Kessler will only fight Froch if he is forced to by WBC. My opinion.

Fair point but i also feel calzaghe will only take the froch fight if he is forced to because as good as froch is he does not offer joe the name on his record or the money he wants at the mo. I just feel that if froch could beat kessler he could bring this to the table.

Exactly mate thats not a reason for the fight to be here if it was there would be a equally as strong an argument for british fighters not to fight there.

You fool.

It was nothing to do with Frank Warren, FFS. It was ITV offering their services and Warren just blagging his way in ahead of Hennessy.

Steady on mate. Carefull you dont get accused of being an anti Warren propogadist like me. Shame Terry Marsh is a crap shot. ( alledgedly )

jermain taylor should fight sergio mora instead of joe ?? dont u think it will be better fight

[adietheforestfa]

I agree mate but as i see it all of these big names are no win for him the americans will still talk him down.
1)He beats taylor he beat a middleweight.
2)He beats Hopkins he beats an over the hill fighter who lost to taylor
3)He beats kessler he beats another average european figher

Iv made this exact point many times before. I realy dont care what Americans think in general, they do have some good guys who are intelegent boxing fans, but come on this is the Nation who voted The Greatest Ever American. Wait for it. Ronald ***in Reagan, i think that is so funny.
There are some realy cool american guys but they do have more than their fair share of ignorant morons.
They think they are World Champs at Baseball but no one else plays.

Right now, now i get you,

but they wont do that if the PPV fight happens in the UK, reason being cos not as many people would watch it over here. To be honest it depends who get the leverage over the rights, because this can work both ways.

The Lacy fight was free, if it was PPV, doubt they would have done the scheduling like that.

I think if the fight does PPV, it does in US time, i cant see Taylor wanting to fight at 2am in the morning either.

But your point is perfectly valid.

I have no doubt that Calzaghe and Warren and ITV will be happy to stage the fight very early in the morning. Boxing in the UK is not much of a casual spectator sport anymore. It has its hardcore crowd and thats about it.

But arent all fighter's body clocks affected when they have to go and fight on foreign soil? Like all the English boxers who should have to go and fight in America?

lol

Just like Warren's offers are so outragously low, that's he's sure to be "ducked" by any quality opposition.

Way Warren tries to do business, it's no wonder Calzaghe has had so few really meaningfull fights.
But they've made lots of money from easily pleased fans - so who's to argue with that.

No doubt that is true. But as skeevy and as dodgy as Warren is, it does at least seem that he is making offers and ones that are increasing in negotiations. I dont see many people makings legitimate offers back to Joe. Sure, they say that they want him and that they'll fight him and then when they are offered they say "Thats not enough/its the wrong time" etc. Very few times do we see the opposition chasing Joe with offers and him turning them down.

Exactly mate all points i've tryed to make tonight.

offer taylor 5.5 mil and not a penny less.

**** taylor, he's a ***** and coward. And Calzaghe should offer taylor 5.5 mil and calzaghe should come to America and fight in taylors backyard and beat the living **** out of him. Don't make taylor come to UK, embarrass taylor in his own hicktown.
