Warren: Taylor's management refused Calzaghe

[GunStar]

Why should Taylor give away his middleweight belts just to fight Cal at 168, considering Cal always gets hurts when he signs for a fight, just ask Glen Johnson.

Also why would Taylor go to the crappy Super middleweight divison, the middleweight divion is much better.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Calzaghe just put on an all-time great boxing masterclass in front of a big US TV audience??

Calzaghe needs to cross the pond if he expects us to care

What resume was Calzaghe supposed to have?

And he's only defended his title in England four times.

let me correct myself, EUROPE, not just England.
I would have no problem with him at all if he would of just shut his mouth and fought, while staying in his division, but the man kept talking about Hopkins, Jones, Tarver, etc. All he had to do was come to the States to show his face to the public and those fighters wouldn't have been able to avoid scrutiny.

Show his face? Like ********** on the Statue of Liberty or something?

It was against Lacy and also the Lacy fight was moved to another date because Cal broke his hand. We thought he will fight Johnson after Lacy, guess what he screwed Johnson again.

BTW I always thought Lacy was overrated.

Because it is "AMERICA"...I am not being one of those ****y, arrogant, "Americans" where you have to fight here in order to show me something, but the facts are the facts: If we were living in ancient times, you would go to the mecca of fighting, ROME, but we live in the present and the Mecca of fighting, at least for the very, very, near future (unless something changes to turn things around), is in the States.

lol, yes on our beautiful statue given to us by the FRENCH...It is such a shame it seems to piss some English off..."First a bunch of farmers beat us, then they shove it in our face with a French statue for Liberty"

I really don't understand how it would make any difference. He'd still be on the same TV channel, what does it matter where the fight takes place?
