and if mayweather wins would him vs hatton be even bigger???
Joe C vs Kessler wont be bigger over here in the states...
Mayweather-Hatton wont be bigger because Hatton isnt relatively known outside of the boxing world here and he hasnt been impressive lately.
lol r u serious? ???Quote:

I can't see a possible Kessler/Joe a pay-per-view event over here. Sure I'd watch the fight but it's no big deal at all.
In Europe yes! World wide no! Still Calzaghe v Kessler must happen this year!!Quote:

Calzaghe is well talented and a crowd pleaser but the fact he has rarely even fought outside of England makes everyone wonder about him.
Joe Calzaghe-Roy Jones Jr in say 2000-2001 may have been bigger than all of those
Barely anybody in England has heard of any of these guys, outside of die-hard boxing fans. I don't know about US or Europe or wherever.
I think De La Hoya has a big Hispanic following, and any fight involving him is much bigger than average.
No way would Calslappy vs Kessler be bigger than Mayweather vs De la hoya and neither would Maywether vs Hatton on what grounds Hatton beat Kostya 1 good win
NO
At least in the US
that would have been huge...but warren has held back Joe C for way too lo9ng...Unfortunately Joe C is becoming more well know for who he hasn't fought that who he has....it is a disgrace!!!Quote:

Hatton has begun to make a name for himself in the USA, plus he is well known in the UK.
Joe Calzaghe could walk down a lot of streets in Britain & I don't think a lot of Britons would know who he was.
Yes, but only in Denmark and Wales
Kessler doesn't have star quality and calzaghes doens't like the public eye being on him so i doubt it. Plus Calzaghe would embarass Kessler and be back to where he is now. Which isn't that great a position to be in.
calzaghe has boxed 75% of his fights outside englandQuote:
