    People blame Frank Warren for not letting Joe fight outside of the US or fight the big names, but if Joe was unhappy with Warrens decisons, Warren would not be his promoter anymore.
    Fighters fire promoters everyday, its a common occurence.

      All I was saying is he has no chips to play with now no matter who his promoter his. He would have to concede a lot. Kessler and Taylor have too many options.

        Joes got two maybe three fights left, he better do something big quick.
        At this time i can't see anyone beating him.Top name Prospective opponents are running out fast. He is in a terrible situation where no one really wants to risk fighting him unless for mega bucks which not many matchups can generate. Its a real shame.

            Its all talk, getting sick of it, and im not gonna blame it on Calzaghe, there is no way he would duck Kessler after getting in the ring with lacy, who is far more dangerous than Kessler, lets get real here, Warren went on record as accepting the deal, Palle started being a *****, im sorry, i dont believe joe is scared of Kessler, and im not sure if this fight will happen anytime soon.

            I Think Calzaghe is gonna wait for the winner of hopkins and Wright, and rightly so, cos Kessler is delusional if he thinks he is worth 5 mil, even 3 is pushing it.

                People criticising Joe Calzaghe for sticking with Frank Warren need to realise that there really arent any promoters over here any better at getting those big fights.

                  That's what separates him and Hatton for me. Hatton at least SEEMS to want big fights whereas Calzaghe runs from them. Hatton dumped Warren to come to the U.S. whereas Calzaghe is still hiding behind Warren in the UK. Hatton beating Castillo and Tszyu puts him so far ahead I doubt Calzaghe can catch up before injuries force him into retirement. Calzaghe appears better, but Hatton has accomplished so much more with just one win and maybe a second.

                      Who thinks Kesslers afraid now since Joe Calzaghe is saying he'll fight Kessler? I think he's afraid. I bet Kessler's camp prices themselves out.
