Well kessler is calling out joe and joe aint calling him out, if this fight doesnt happen who is to blame then?
Grow up FFS. Take a look around, both Calzaghe's camp and Kesslers camp have confirmed that talks are underway, albeit in thier infancy. Like I said, people will lay the blame at Joes door solely because Kessler is the one being voacal about it. Kessler is talking, therefor he MUST be the one that really wants the fight ::**

Need this be a sore subjetc already ???
Re: Calzaghe says a Jermain Taylor fight is number one on his list
Not sure what you mean mate. If your refering to me telling Snakey to grow up he knows Im only fucking with him ;)
Re: Calzaghe says a Jermain Taylor fight is number one on his list
Its always a sore subject where Calzaghe's concerned.
The mongs and the "fans" call for the same thing - major fights...but for obvious different reasons...and obviously whatever Calzaghe does it will never be enough for the mongs
If Cazlaghe beat Kessler next the mongs would claim Kessler was a hyped up nobody aka Lacy..."wait until he fights a Hopkins or Jones"
If Cazlaghe beat Hopkins or Jones the mongs would say they were old and past their best..."wait until he fights a live body like Winky or Taylor"
If Calzaghe beat Winky or Taylor the mongs would say they were to small......so it goes.

:coolclick: Agreed 100%
Well, 90% at least :-\
All you state is very true, provided he does one of those things next.
If he doesn't.....
God help all Calzaghe fans ;D
Re: Calzaghe says a Jermain Taylor fight is number one on his list
I think JC is in a lose lose situation. I think he gets an unfair share of ciriticism,he has called people out,made offers and beaten EVERYONE put in front of him. I'd actually prefer to see him fight Kessler,unify,then fight Taylor and I don't think Taylor would duck him,so it seems like a fight which could realistically be made. However,I won't be happy if he has another tune up or whatever! It seems that there is hype for JC stateside,he should exploit it all he can(actually,he should ride the hype wave and fighter Taylor first if he can then maybe Kessler)

That's cuz it's true. Hopkins and Jones are nowhere near there primes. Why the sudden urge to fight them now (after Hopkins retired) as oppose to years ago? Taylor and Wright are both naturally smaller fighters. That ain't some made up shit. It's true. Still a win over Wright, would be impressive in my view. Taylor not as much since I think he still needs a lot of work. Kessler? There ain't no excuse. Kessler is in his prime right now. He's fought over 35 times. This ain't Lacy and his barely 20 fights. He's got like 5 or 6 former champions on his resume. He's somebody. If Calzaghe beats him, than he can't be knocked. I'll give him credit. Hell, if he beats Kessler I'll never bad mouth Calzaghe again. And I'm talking about a real win. Not one of those "Kessler had him down 3 times, but lost cuz Calzaghe claimed he couldn't continue cuz of a suppose rabbit punch." Or "Kessler beat his ass for 12, but lost cuz they were fighting in Joe's back yard." A real win.
Re: Calzaghe says a Jermain Taylor fight is number one on his list
Calzaghe knew that Hopkins wouldn't fight him, I knew that and I'm just a specatator. B-Hop is going to for the heavies (Maskeav) if he does anything. Either way, Hopkins would toss his wheelchair and AARP card aside and harm JC.

kidding :o
Re: Calzaghe says a Jermain Taylor fight is number one on his list
Any time Joe Calzaghe mentions BHop or Jones Jr I switch off. I think its something that is ingrained in him, he has been calling them out for so long that he cant help himself. Im sure he realises himself that its pointless but just cant help it ;D

Hopkins agreed to fight Calzaghe a few years ago before his (Hopkins) arsehole went.

Anyway, not sure you're the best person to judge a fighter, son, especially where Calzaghe is concerned...You even thought Bika would knock him out....hahaha ;D
Re: Calzaghe says a Jermain Taylor fight is number one on his list
And here we are waiting.
An update here from Denmark. The Danish promotor want to cash in if Kessler should go to England. Kessler has an alternative in fighting Librado Andrade (24-0, KO 18). which HBO is interrested in.
I think a Librado Andrade fight looks like a thriller but I prefer to see the
Calzaghe vs Kessler fight in february.
But as usual it comes down to the money ;( and maybe Kessler is more worth ($) if he can beat Andrade so HBO it holding the cards once again.

All your link says is he'll come to the US to fight Hopkins. So what? He's been saying for years that he'll travel. But for some reason, he never does. And yeah, I put some virtual money on killer's books backing Bika. Big deal. Look at my past posts and you'll see I always taught of Bika as the bum he is.

I think this is the portion of the article that you should have focused on ;)
Hopkins' promoter Don King and Calzaghe's backer Frank Warren reached agreement for a fight last year, and the US television station Showtime was prepared to underwrite the event. But after a $3m (£1.8m) payday had been agreed, the fight fell through when Hopkins doubled his purse demands
Hope this helps. It wont but there you go.
