Calzaghe has fought no one for 10 years of his reign, NO ONE!!!, until very recently. who's to say calzaghe hasn't been ducking people, or yeh because he said he hasn't. Don't blame it on Benard if the fight doesn't happen, the article i read says that calzaghe is in serious and deep negotiations with woods, and that just sucks if that's true. Don't sound like hopkins is the one doing the dodging to me. besides, if it is benards fault then **** him, but we need evidence first and to get techincual, Hopkins does deserve the bigger cut as long as its reasonable (he is the champ afterall).

    Calzaghe didn't have to say it. Hbo wrote an article saying that hopkins/jones jr both priced themselves out around 5 years ago. Someone else posted a link to the article a couple of days ago. And hbo would know since they write the contracts.

      Whatever, i believe ya. but thats not the point, even if hopkins did price himself out in the past, this fight should happen now nonetheless, and it could happen. if calzaghe decides to fight woods though, that just ***in sucks.

Warren has already spoken with Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaeffer and says the early talks look good.
