maybe, maybe not? sure he wont no be ablt to fight a prime hopkins or RJJ... but if calzaghe can get through kessler, go ot with wins over pavlik hopkins and or dawson, i think the boxing world will be singing a different tune, One thing is for sure, his next fight is stateside... i dont think this is his last in the uk, he will finish it here, but after this, should he win, its all stateside.
Re: Strange Frank Warren comment (that confirms the Calzaghe fall-out?)
Calzaghe wont ever fight in America. That's a young man's game, he's to old to be pursuing that stuff now.
At this stage he should be involved with fellow fossils - Hopkins, Jones, Winky, Woods, Johnson - not fighting a young hungry guy like Kessler or contemplating making his American debut against young hungry guys like Dawson or Pavlik. I'd be amazed if he did that.
As Memphis said, so what if he splits from Warren now. I can't stand Warren but blaming him for Calzaghe's "poor opponents" is a cop-out.
Re: Strange Frank Warren comment (that confirms the Calzaghe fall-out?)
Calzaghe could beat Pavlik easily. Pavlik is a straightforward fighter and Calzaghe will give him more angles than a Trigonometry exam. Dawson might be more problematic because he's bigger and pretty fast, but if Calzaghe can test that chin often enough he could KO him.
Re: Strange Frank Warren comment (that confirms the Calzaghe fall-out?)
You may be right
But I don't see how those fights would appeal to an "old boy" with a knackered left hand on his American debut.
Re: Strange Frank Warren comment (that confirms the Calzaghe fall-out?)
Calzaghe has regularly and recently expressed interest in fighting in the states.
And imo, his next fight will certainly be in the US at LH
Re: Strange Frank Warren comment (that confirms the Calzaghe fall-out?)
Calzaghe has regularly expressed interest in fighting in the states for the past 10 years...hasn't got him there.
They once used the excuse that he's scared of flying

After the break from Warren I have no doubt that he'll fight in the states as he can't fight in the Manchester MEN or the Millenium Stadium...

Calzaghe the new Ricky Hatton.
Re: Strange Frank Warren comment (that confirms the Calzaghe fall-out?)
Pretty much, Old Traford and Wembley are the only other arenas worth fighting in in Britain and i have a feeling that since Ricky failed to employ the services of those venues that they are either uninterested or they have ties with Warren
Re: Strange Frank Warren comment (that confirms the Calzaghe fall-out?)
;D
Slowdown mate Warren aint that powerful, he blocked the MEN for Hatton but it didn't matter Hatton WANTED to go fight in the States
You can only stage fights in Football stadiums during the summer, and your date has to match with the one the TV company wants - HBO in Hattons case...so limited opportunities

I reckon he is, who's to rival him in Britain really?
Hobson? He's got Clinton Woods as his number 1 man and Clinton won't be around much longer.
Hennesey? Whats the last youv'e heard from him???
Warren is the numero uno in Britain and one way or another he has an infleunce on most things that happen in British boxing.
Re: Strange Frank Warren comment (that confirms the Calzaghe fall-out?)
Yes mate he's the no.1 among Brit promoters - that's no.1 cunt as well..
He's not powerful enough to tie-up all the major sporting venues in Britain though
Re: Strange Frank Warren comment (that confirms the Calzaghe fall-out?)
Wouldn't be certain about that, he's into MMA now as well so thats actually giving him a bit more pull.
Really don't like the chap.
Re: Strange Frank Warren comment (that confirms the Calzaghe fall-out?)
Warren into MMA? Since when? He slags it off everyweek in his column
We are talking about the same cunt aren't we? :-\
