    Reid, Woodhall, Eubank, Mitchell were all genuine world champions, he's also fought a lot of tough fighters too. Give him the chance against Hopkins and we'll see a beating.

    I'm not bais to any nation, i watch every fight with an open mind and i cant see why the UK gets so much ****. They have some very good fighers who should be shown a some respect before you can expect them to fight in the US.
    i see his record and
    he only fights in
    Norther Ireland
    England
    and Wales

    why????

      He's scared of flying and he's been number 1 for such a long time. Champions should only travel for bigger money then they can earn at home.

        I will agree that Calzaghe is not a good choice of representation as he's injury-prone. He was due to fight Glen Johnson (a fighter whom Woods went the distance with twice) but had a back problem.

        I don't like the way Frank Warren protects his fighters, though after seeing Robin Reid "lose" to Sven Ottke and Eastman "lose" to Joppy I can see the reasons...

          Is he also scared of spiders, snakes? The boogeyman? Some one tell that welsh *** to grow up and act like a man.

            Somethin like that, he thought I was responding to him. Like he represents british boxing. I stopped arguing with that person a long time ago, it's a waste.

              I'd forgotten that. He does have a genuine fear of flying. He is getting itchy feet about the competition though. Ricky Hatton kicked up a stink in 2004 about the lack of quality Warren was getting him. Now he's up against Tyszu.

                Like I said, you don't want to argue with me, don't even mention my name. Do I join threads and slag YOU down? No? Don't do it to me then. And you're the waste. A shame... you seem to have more of a brain than other smacktalkers, yet just keep repeating the same thing...

                  I seriously think the reason he's scared of flying is because he's so confindent and wanna be macho. I know a lot of tough guys who really hate having their life in someone else hands.

                  I aint scared on flying or much else but put in a room with a black mamba and i'll **** myself.

                    I think Calzaghe could do more to get the big fights but he's very happy with the money Warren gets him.

                    Its a choice between rich or pride for Calzaghe and the moneys talking.
