well usually when one guy pusses out and doesn't take the fight, it never gets made. Wright might have missed his chance because he's such a crybaby *****

I would seriously preorder Taylor vs. Lacy right now.

Calzaghe hasn't made much mention of Jermain, though, has he? I know he's mentioned Kessler, Hopkins, Woods, Johnson...

Winkys took the piss with a rematch,i think Taylor has gave up,hopefuly Jermaine will pick the best in that division like he did with middleweight

He has actually.

This is good news. It should bring Taylor's skills on as he won't be able rely on his physical attributes anywhere near as much as he has at MW.

That is just awesome. Just awesome.

Calzaghe/Taylor is defo happening. In which case, Calzaghe/Manfredo is also probably defo happening. It would be a good intro to the US market.

Sweet.

2007 looks like its gonna be the year of the Welsh Dragon.

I can't wait to hear what the Danes will say, because this pretty much means Calzaghe-Kessler is off for the moment. Manfredo as a warmup and then Taylor will make a great 2007 for Calzaghe.
If you look at it from Taylor's side, Hopkins-Hopkins-Wright-Ouma-Calzaghe would make the toughest five-fight schedule in boxing. You'd have to look pretty hard to find the last guy who matched it.
