    Damn Joe is talking major ish. Doesn't look like he'll be coming to America. He mentioned how nobody showed up to the fight for Hop and Winky. And that there's no reason for him to leave from where he's at.

      It's a very valid point.

          3 Million Guarantee plus a piece of the pay-per-view. Calzaghe is making more than that for Kessler I believe and his gate will earn him far more than what Hopkins earned on Saturday.

              "He's more of a puncher, I think Calzaghe is more of a hype-type puncher" does that mean Lacy would get beat worse by Kessler than Calzaghe, sounds like sour g****s from Lacy there

                I have to agree that Joe C has a point. He's making more than Hopkins fighting where he's at but at the same time I think Joe C needs to either come to the USA to fight some marquee fighters or entice them to travel to the UK to secure his legacy.

                  that is a big problem for Calzaghe he doesnt look focus right now he is more focused on Hopkins and Mundine then he is on Kessler.

                  THat how many fighters go down so he better be very focused or he will end up losing his fight.

                    Yeah I agree he's gonna have to compromise if he can't get guys to come over. Because that's just an excuse to never come. You can't be considered the best if you don't go out and fight the best.

                    I'm sure Hatton has lost money coming over here but I haven't heard him say anything like that.
