But if you're not prepared to put it all on the line in a combat sport I don't see the point really.
    Maybe he doesn't have the right connections to fight the bigger and better fighters. I'm sure if he was offered 1 Million to fight Calzaghe tommorow he would take it - as would I, but you need the right people around you to make fights happen.

      It's Likely A Personality Trait That They Are Satisfied With Not Being Ranked Amongst The Best, But They're Also Scared Of Being Challenged To Endanger Their Records...
