    Will Joe Calzaghe ever fight in America???

    After his last fight against Peter Manfredo, Joe said that this will probably be his last fight in UK, he will come to America for the first time in his career to fight against guys like Hopkins, Taylor, Wright etc..

    My question to you is, will Joe's next fight will be in America or it will be in UK??

      I cant see him fighting in the US, seeing as how the judging seems to be getting worse and worse.

      The spinks-taylor fight is a classic example of why european fighters dont want to fight in the US...they wont get a win unless they KO their opponents, which is a risk.

      The judges always go with the unbeaten or more lucrative fighter in terms of finances.

      Look at Collazo and Hatton, the HBO money men bailed their man out. Spinks vs Taylor, Taylor was bailed out...

      its killing the sport..

          According to comments made on ESPN he is not willing to fight in US soil anytime soon unless a ridicolous amount of money is offered

                  US Judding is still the best in the world, considering we have 95% of the major fight here in America.

                  BTW Taylor was not bailed out, you have to be blind to have Spinks winning that fight, the problem with the judging in this fight was the one judge that had it for Spinks, he was def paid by Don King.

                      Garbage. The fight was closer than expected, that is all. D. Hopkins and Steve Forbes on the other hand...
