i do understand why u get the impression Jc doesn't travel.. but he has never made out he wont travel. He just never wanted to go to the usa as some undercard fighter, when back at home his is the main event. Until your a fan fav it is very hard to think about going to the usa, fighting a very well known, liked, loved usa fighter there 'coz unless u knock them out you never know what way the judges will 'see' it...

Apart form lacy, who else of the people he has beaten would of been worth going to the usa to fight.. it would be some undercard in some half empty place, gaining 'lil attention (maybe his first round stoppage of mario veint purly on the basis of how he stopped the number 1 rank in the first round, but who was to know that would happen?)

He beat Eubank in england (thats like an american beating a canadian in canada)
he beat Will McIntyre in denmark and also veit in Germany.

So in fairness its not as if he has only ever fought in Wales (or england after he become a very big name in the UK) and the impression i got was after the lacy fight the plan was to real make a name for him self so he could go to the USA and top bills there...

but i do see where u and alot of others do get that impression from though
im a huge calzaghe fan but even i know there is more to life than simply being a home favourite. i would like calzaghe to jump overseas and do his thing....

why should borders define where you fight? its nonsense really....a real champ earns the right to fight on the highest bill anywhere....
