Uh-oh. You called shennanigans. I can't believe it. Shennanigans in boxing! I thought it was just full of Tom-Foolery and nothing else.Quote:

A month or so should make no difference. Joe's stated that he's happy to fight in Kessler's home country.
Quote from Joe:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/6725411.stm
"That's why I'm willing to travel to Denmark," said Calzaghe. "I don't think it will be a 50-50 fight."
After holding his title for so long, Calzaghe said that he was now looking to make his mark in history.
"These are the sort of fights I want. It's about cementing my legacy now," said Calzaghe.
"Kessler is the main man out there - he has got two belts and is undefeated. This is the biggest fight in boxing.
"After 25 years of boxing, not a lot gets me excited, but Kessler will get me excited.
"I don't think Copenhagen is the most hostile place to go. But I love pressure and I love hostile atmospheres.
"I feed off them. It will be a big challenge but that's what I need."
This fight should definitely happen, but why the fuck November? Bugger Palle's anniversary, both fighters fighters will lose 2 months of their careers for no real reason. Either way Joe should take it, if the offers genuine it's more money than he'd get to fight someone like Taylor in America..
I understand the annoyance about it being November. The fans just wanna get a highly anticipated fight underway. Palle's anniversary is something of importance to the man himself only methinks.
I hope Calzaghe can can go there and pull off another career defining fight. I would be very surprised if Kessler is able to steal more than a couple of rounds....
Only the hands bother me :-\
Bit silly this Is, but aslong as they make the fight Im not bothered.
Talks for calzaghe to meet the winner of hopkins/wright in early jan have been on the cards for along time.. kessler and palle know this and no way is joe going to fight in novemeber out there and got ot he states in early jan... not enough time!
Kessler and palle are full of shit and Joe sould tell um both to fuck off wastinghis time coz they have for over a year.
There is no way Hopkins would ever go near Calzaghe. Winky is a different specimen entirely though.Quote:

It leaves plenty of time for 2 more big fights in the new year and then happy retirement perhaps...
Boxing News reported Joe said he would be happy to fight in November. I think Warren is the only one saying no as he's having a difficult time letting Palle call the shots.
