    Joe Calzaghe is going to return to the scene of his greatest ever win on October 14th when he fights at the MEN Arena in Manchester. His opponent has yet to be decided but Ricky Burns will be facing John Murray on the undercard.

    Who do people think he will be fighting? It won't be Johnson or Woods as they will have fought only 6 weeks prior to this.

    I think this'll be worth goin to, as that undercard fight'll be a corker and hopefully Joe'll be fighting someone worth while.



    Funny thing is when Calzaghe was negotiating with Beyer, the only thing that kept the deal from being done was Calzaghe insisting on an early september date. Beyer couldn't do it as his cuts from previous fight needed more time to heal. So instead Beyer turned to Kessler - and they agreed on the 14. october date.
    But NOW Calzaghe ends up fighting at the same date he couldn't wait for earlier. Funny stuff.

    Makes you really wonder wtf is wrong with mr. Warren.
    I mean with Calzaghes fame and all, why is it, with the exception of the Lacy fight, that Warren has succeded in getting NO meaningful fight for Calzaghe for such a long time?

    Anyway not surpricing that Calzaghe never mentions Kessler or Beyer. I remember in connection with the Lacy fight, a journalist asked Calzaghe about "the other two champs" (Beyer and Kessler). Joe's reply was: "Noone cares about the other champs!". I gues that's how he feels and he's gonna stick to it.

      I think it will be Allan Green, they looked at Green for his fight in Cardiff.

      Cant wait for Murray vs Burns, think Murray will have to much for Burns, Burns will win early rounds but Murray will take over mid rounds and stop him late, Murray tko 10

        Calzaghe COULD NOT fight Beyer on Octboer 14, but he CAN fight some drunkard from underneath a Cardiff bridge (or whoever else FWarren will sell us as the most threatening opponent to date).

          To be fair to Calzaghe, i think it's just been circumstances which have got in his way, he just hasn't been lucky throughout his career, although he always seemed too laid back about fighting the best out there, and Warren isn't exactly a help either.
