I think that is reasonable compromise.
Joe can fill the seats and Americans can order the PPV
What do you think?
As I stated earlier,I think it should be at Staples in LA
No home field advantage for anyone

All big fights make good money in the US making money will be know problem...
I really feel both want the fight badly
If Joe beats Kessler and let's say Taylor beats Pavlik. Taylor would move up to 168, wouldn't the fight for Calzaghe be Taylor and not the guy Taylor beat twice?

That is true, but if Taylor beats Pavlik, I think that would erase some of the doubts of Taylor. Plus, Taylor did beat Hopkins. I think Taylor would deserve a shot instead of Hopkins. Being a legend shouldn't be the determining factor here.

Taylor is the guy who defeated the dirty holding "headbutter" Hopkins. Why has Hopkins never met a top EU guy instead of fighting small boys in the US or old wannabees as Tarver?
What would happen if Hopkins met a Calzaghe, Kessler or Zolt Erdie?
Most likely what happend to Austin, Brock, Lacy, Byrd and so on.

i think its the determining factor in calzaghe and hopkins legacies, taylor has time to build his up, jc and bhop are both gettin old adn i would rather see whose the beter of the to u no they both defende their titles alot of times, me personally find that the reason for hopkins to fight him and not taylor, taylor can still make alot of fights, hopkins time is limited

I agree with Wiz, A win over Taylor proves more than a win over old Bhop. Taylor beat Hopkins twice and that's who Joe wants.
As Joe recently said "Hopkins can get inline"

Household name are you taking piss?? We had a documentry on Joe about 2 months ago here in the Uk, and the presetner was goign round asking your average American do you know who Joe Calzaghe is and one person new who he was?? Household name, very far from it, put it this way Hopkins and Winky sold 9 thousand tickets in Wales they will sell 70 thousand.
i think he was saying that calzaghe is a household name over seas............. as in europe, not the us
i may be wrong though
NO you weren't wrong I did mean in europe. Calzaghe is not a household name in the US and I don't think that he could carry the fight in the US so it would stand to reason that it would make more money overseas where both fighters are known
