Calzaghe has the Ring title nothing else matters.


Well it matters to him hes had the belt for 10yrs why give it up then fight when he can keep it and fight.
The why is in the fee structure.

If he gives it up he is free to not pay sanctioning fees. If he wants to defend it that's fine, as long as we all admit it's a novelty. From my point of view it's just a waste of money.

Maybe you think its a novelty, i think its great hes had it 10yrs id want to keep it its also the belt you would want to beat Joe for his WBO strap. Hes held all the other titles and gave them up it clearly means a lot to him.

One mans "novelty" is another mans treasure.
