    They both need to get their **** together and fight in Canada.......
    **** canada they should fight in japan

        nah i dont think calz would get that many travelling fans. hatton does because he is from manchester and supports man city football club. so he those football fans thus the singing.

        calz is getting quite abit famous, but no where a big name in terms of sport. although he may be from the ekssler fight.

        i guess soem welsh people would go to america but welsh people are poorer than english people.

            Calzaghe has fans over here, and alot of ppl I've seen post online want to see him fight over here. So, they can see him fighting live. He is the draw even in America.

              Who the **** was Calzaghe back when he was all on Hopkins' back in Hop's prime? A win over Calzaghe meant nothing then and Hop was still doing his consecutive title defense streak at the time. Even now most American fans don't know **** about Joe, but the HBO exposure is helping.

              Like Hopkins was supposed to be starstruck and go fight Calzaghe in wales when back then he was getting guys like Trinidad and De La Hoya. Who in their right mind would pass up those fights for Calzaghe? Who at the time had no standout victories to his credit mind you.

                    I voted for Millenium Stadium, Wales since they will get a massive live gate.
                    The only chance of selling out a place in the USA is if JC's fans travel out. Look at the crowd for BHOPs last fight.

                      I didn't attack you, I'm sorry, you must associate the word "****" with anger. You'll see it thrown a lot around here. No need to resort to name calling, I never insulted you.

                      Seriously though, you're going by HBO's "word"? The same guys who built Jermain Taylor up into some type of boxing savior? The same guys who called Marco Antonio Barrera a "coward" in his last career fight? The same guys who think Miguel Cotto is an elite fighter?

                      And even if it were true (Hopkins priced himself out) did Hopkins not deserve the bigger cut of the pay being the star at the time? Why would he risk making a title defense record, move up and avoid guys like Tito and Oscar, to have some guy on his resume whom nobody knew years ago?

                      It makes no sense to me, the worldwide boxing audience only just learned to pronounce Calzaghe's last name correctly last year.
