        I believe he has vacated.

          So in the closet, that actually not at all. What you just did there is also something floydgimps do when they have made a series of racist remarks and been pulled up on it. Simply call the person highlighting and showing distaste for their behaviour a racist. Its naked ******ity and as stated previously, entirely predictable and expected from that vile fanbase.

            Lol, really??? I talk about a boxer on a boxing forum....big news! The guy is also one of the most vocal and self promoting fighters out there. He also clearly isnt very bright, so his actual personality comes through. Lotta ******ity and a lot of racism(****** remarks about Maidana, hispanics etc.). Gotta give him some due though, he has toned it down somewhat of late. Its like Maidana broke him down mentally and beat most of the idiot out of him.

                      To be fair to Calzaghe, Froch hadn't even fought Taylor by the time Calzaghe had retired. Froch had just beaten Pascal before Calzaghe retired and won the belt Joe vacated because he'd moved up to LHW. It really wasn't a big fight at the time, nobody even knew who Froch was, he wasn't even a big name in the UK. This was before the whole super six thing that gave Froch a bigger name. So it's very understandable why he didn't fight him, it just wasn't a big fight at the time, Froch was an unknown name outside of boxing fans. I'm the first to give Calzaghe stick sometimes, but he gets a pass on that one.

                      As for Hatton v Witter, i'd say its very comparable to Khan v Brook in a way. Although the Khan v Brook fight is a bigger money making fight. Like Hatton, Khan has his eye on the likes of Mayweather because if he loses, he still has a Brook fight and other fights but if he lost to Brook, he could say goodbye to fighting a Mayweather. Same with Hatton, he had his eye on Floyd and other big fights so when he loses, he can still sell out big fights but if he lost to Witter, his other big fights would be gone. It's just business. One route might give you 2 or 3 big paydays still, the other might only give you 1. They always had a Brook and a Witter, or other fights to fall back on. I don't believe Hatton was scared to fight Witter or Khan scared to fight brook, they are fighters but they have teams of advisors who are not ****** and look at the future income too.

                      Us fans wanna see the fights, but the business men don't care. They want that gravy train to keep on rolling as long as they're on the payroll.
