The US is where most of the best fights are...if he stayed at home like calzaghe for most of hes career no one will give him respect cuz he never left home to fight the best

Great point. Calzaghe took forever to get the respect he deserved. I remember everyone and their uncle (including me) thought Lacy would decapitate Calzaghe and Joe ruined him and made him look like an amateur. If Calzaghe would have come over to the U.S. sooner, he could have been a huge superstar and wouldn't have needed to beat an old Jones Jr and Hopkins to get his day in the sun...

Joe Calzaghe was pretty small-time.

Look at the fact that he couldn't get unification clashes with Woodhall and Reid. He got them when they got beat and brought nothing to the table. Nowadays, how easy would fights like them be made?

These fights were not made because Joe Calzaghe was small-time and wasn't really worth the risk to guys like Robin Reid or Richie Woodhall - fighters that never really near as good as Joe.

Calzaghe was not a big deal for an awful long time.

McCloskey is a good opponent. Can't wait.
