    what is this guy he keeps calling out everybody.

    hopkins, roy jones, taylor, James Toney....etc.

    next time i see him call out it would be Rocky Bablo.


    He should Kessler because he got the WBC and WBA which both better than IBF and WBO.

      Move up in weight and come to the UK to fight me!!
      This is getting old.
      I must have missed the bit where Calzaghe said that Taylor, god forbid, would have to leave his country.

      Damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't.

        Have you personally spoken to Taylor or his management? Do tell.

        Maybe Taylor is personally happy and up for the challenge?

          The fighter makes the belts, and Joes belts are higher regarded because of his name.

              He reminds me of Tarver. The lack of superstars in their weight classes has them calling out fighters in other weights. They should fight each other

                Why would Jermain drop his belts and move up to a weight hes never fought at when there's better opponents at middleweight then supper middle? Cumon Calzaghe he keeps calling out opponents,just make it happen and fight Kessler,the guy thats got the other 2 belts

                  Calzaghe wants to fight Hopkins. Failing that he wants the man who "beat" the man. You can't blame him for looking at the names rather than the belts, especially at this time of his career.

                  I'm not sure if it's in Taylor's best interests though. The bigger fights are in his weight class, but the biggest around is in the one above. Not an easy situation.

                  It's going to be Kessler in Feb in the Millennium Stadium anyway, assuming terms are agreed of course.

                    Simple, Calzaghe is the biggest name available!

                      Why shouldn't his opponents travel to him sometimes when he's the champ? (even if they're champs too). Joe travelling to the States is just the same thing.
