    His entire career was built up to get that one big money fight. No fighter would pass up that much money. Calzaghe is also at that point in his career where he's fought enough cherry picked opponent to get some sense of false credibility from boxing fans and is now looking only for big money fights. He will not take the same risk Hatton did, though, because there just isn't a big enough money match at 168 or 175 to force him to take a risky fight...

      David Haye? already he hasnt been hand picked, in his 9th fight he fought a former world champion who only a few months back had almost beat o neil Bell. Lennox Lewis fought the best and beat everyone he fought,

        It's not a joke at all. You're just being over critical.

          You can even fill out arenas for massive fights like Hopkins Calzaghe and Pavlik Taylor 2.

          We have ring champs at LWW, SMW, LHW and Cruiserweight.

                No, who the hell really thinks that. The English have great fighters, as do every nation.

                      This is going to be another occasion where Sin ignores the results of his own thread because they clash with the negative slant he likes to throw on his subject matter.
