Warren: "I Wanted Joe Calzaghe To Fight Kelly Pavlik"

[Gojira]

Warren needs to STFU.

good post. you sum this whole thread up into 4 words.

Typical Frank Warren!

[Fightgame]

How dare anybody suggest that Slappy Joe ducked the young murderous-punching undefeated Middleweight World Champ Pavlik in order to outpoint a faded 40 year old who's been brutally KO'd twice by unexceptional boxers... for a lot less PPV money.
Despite both Top Rank and Warren being gung-ho for Pavlik vs. Calzaghe.

Now if Joe slaps his way to a decision his name will be mentioned in hushed tones alongside Glen Johnson, Tarver, and Montell Griffin.
Three average Joe's who've got wins over Jones.

Bollocks did frank. Calzaghe was at that stage of his career where he has input, a large amount.

[¡VIVA MEXICO!]

calzage is a coward.

[Clegg]

calzage is a coward.

How did those Williams-Margarito negotiations work out?

[abadger]

I am puzzled. Surely everyone should like Warren now. he wanted Joe to fight Pavlik. That's what everyone wants isn't it?

[ListenUpWell]

Pavlik, Hopkins, Calzaghe and Jones.

I've said it before, I'll say it again... Mike Tyson needs to come back to Britain and slap Frank Warren again. The man needs to keep them sour g****s to himself. Though I don't know if it'll happen, I'd like to see the winners and losers of this fight and the Pavlik-Hopkins fight face eachother. Calzaghe - Pavlik could be a classic, where as there's so much bad blood between Hopkins and Jones I think meeting again would be a great way for them to retire.

[Scary]

I don't know about this. I really don't see why this should change anyones opinion about Frank Warren, he is a mastermind in manipulation, but people don't want to listen to him anymore.

Promoter Frank Warren, in the middle of a nasty split with super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe, recently revealed that after Calzaghe won a split-decision over Bernard Hopkins in April, he wanted the Welsh fighter to take on WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik. Instead, Calzaghe cut ties with Warren after a relationship that lasted over a decade, and signed to fight Roy Jones Jr. on November 8 at New York's Madison Square Garden. Warren has since sued Calzaghe for breach of contract and Calzaghe has counter-sued for $4 million dollars that he claims Warren owes him from the Hopkins bout. [details]
