Joe Calzaghe...............or is it he avoids everyone

I dont think Calzaghe has deliberately avoided anyone, more a case of Frank Warren not making the right moves. In fact I think in the vast majority of cases the fighter himself will go in with anyone, its the promoters who seem to do the 'selective matchmaking' (ie. avoiding!!). Beware promoters/matchmakers.... the more you get the top names avoiding each other, and making fights with meaningless titles at stake, the more people will turn to MMA where the top boys are always facing each other. I'm not a particular fan of it myself but can certainly see where the attraction lies. We have now reached a point where world titles have become meaningless and top matches are made for the reputations rather than the belts.
that's a little off...if a fighter (especially a CHAMP) wants a fight they usually get it...Calzaghe has backed out of enough fights to tarnish anything he had after Lacy....
It feels good to be back home.
