        That's Joe Calzaghe NOT Frank Warren. Cal would have fought him anywhere, Frank had different plans though.

          Is Frank Warren really that bad?

              I mean did you see the Hanshaw performance? The guy hit Roy a lot and he wasn't even a top 15 SMW.

              ?
              Apparently you get allot of respect here by beating a one-dimensional blown up Welterweight named Tito. Maybe Calzaghe should fight him...

                He's the only person who can **** this up now. He needs to get off his high horse and make sure this fight happens.

                  Why even Warren would say perhaps if not in Las Vegas is odd, and kinda goes against some peoples claims to some extent. There is a logic, he would have gone along with a RJJ or Hopkins fight years ago, he's no angel but people seem to exaggerate his bad points.

                  Joe holds the keys now, you can't get the names eating out of your hands more, when in the post Hopkins fight press conference, RJJ asks the first question, gives Joes mutual respect, and asks for a fight anywhere. Christ, he messed Joe around years ago, more fool him, Frank if he's playing by Joes guidelines now, then make him ****ing travel. When Joe was willing to fight anywhere RJJ wouldn't, now all of a sudden he is, let him travel to Wales.

                  Hatton has a hometown home coming for the fans, Joe Calzaghe deserves, and his fans, the same. Especially for his last fight, it's mostly at least, not his fault RJJ has only been willing to now. For me the Welsh fans come first, esp when the yank fighter is willing to travel.

                  He's beaten one legend in there back yard, lets reel the next one into his backyard, fairs fair. And 2 fights Roy, don't think so mate.

                    If Jones/Calzaghe comes off it will be at the Millenium Stadium or at Wembley, really can't see it being in Vegas! Warren will want it at a bigger venue (70-80000seater) and delay the start to suit HBO. hopefully there would be a good undercard because the main event will be pretty one sided IMO!

                      warren kept calzaghe away from hopkins and rjj until both got too old and can't fight a full 12 rounds anymore.
