    I guess the Armenians want a piece of Joe to.. He has world wide appeal.

      Is that what it is?

      I can only imagine the amount of **** he would get for fighting Abraham instead of Dawson or Johnson. Fighting AA would do more harm than good.

        Everybody and their mother knows this anyway.

        But still, Calzaghe "waited until Hopkins was old."

        I think Hopkins waited until Calzaghe was old, personally.
        My mistake, you're right it was '02 actually.

              Calzaghe waited until B-Hop and Roy Jones Jr were old. How can you say they waited till he was old? When they did have negoitiaitons Calz wanted them to go to Europe. They told him to go The States because they were the PROVEN champions back then. I dont even believe Calzaghe wanted to fight them back then. Who did he fight and beat worth mentioning prior to 2004? NOBODY. Who did Hop and Jones fight worht mentioning prior to 2004? MANY. Calzaghe is a joke and i am suprised most cant see that.

                  Joe signed the contract to come to America and fight Bernard back in 2002. Hopkins also signed, then pulled out. He blamed Don King. These are facts, feel free to look it all up.

                    Hopkins - won't rematch him, and won't be much demand for it cuz it was dull
                    AA - won't happen cuz he ain't gonna go to 175 and Joe won't go back to 168
                    Froch - won't be enuf $ in this either

                    I'm pretty sure Joe C is done.
                    there won't be enough money in any of these fights, unless they happen in England anyway. joe's not a big draw over here, so if he's expecting an unbelievable payday w/ a fight over here he's mistaken. i odo think hopkins and dawson would fight him in england if the fight presented itself tho. im not ruling out hbo putting up the $$$ for the fight either, if dawson disposes of tarver again like the first fight.....

                    pavlik calzaghe a great fight? first of all, pavlik is 15 pounds below, and after the beating he just took, he ain't moving back up, calzaghe sure as he;; aint comin down to MW to make the fight........

                    If he beat Dawson it would just be a repeat of the Lacy excuses and he'd be ducking pavlik or AA or .

                    He's not P4P No1, he's not ATG he does have a few gaps in his resume like every other fighter buy damn he gets a HUGE amount of hate.
                    calzaghe gets hate, like every other fighter does....no more no less.

                    kessler? gtfoh w/ kessler. he's a nobody. he hasn't even beat any of the top 4 smw.....i'm not sold on kessler until he beats somebody.........

                    i've always said, i'd have given calzaghe bigger props for beating dawson, than for beating rjj last month.....but hey, boxing is a business, these guys fight for money.....but dawson aint no jeff lacy, i'd love to see that fight if calzaghe continues on.
