Finally...Calzaghe returns October 14! Who do you want him to face?

[maracho]

Winky just said the other night on ESPN that he wants Calzaghe. It might be neat to see some accurate power punches penetrate Winky's long lobster arms.

Funny thing is when Calzaghe was negotiating with Beyer, the only thing that kept the deal from being done was Calzaghe insisting on an early september date. Beyer couldn't do it as his cuts from previous fight needed more time to heal. So instead Beyer turned to Kessler - and they agreed on the 14. october date.
But NOW Calzaghe ends up fighting at the same date he couldn't wait for earlier. Funny stuff.

Makes you really wonder wtf is wrong with mr. Warren.
I mean with Calzaghes fame and all, why is it, with the exception of the Lacy fight, that Warren has succeded in getting NO meaningful fight for Calzaghe for such a long time?

Anyway not surpricing that Calzaghe never mentions Kessler or Beyer. I remember in connection with the Lacy fight, a journalist asked Calzaghe about "the other two champs" (Beyer and Kessler). Joe's reply was: "Noone cares about the other champs!". I gues that's how he feels and he's gonna stick to it.

As far as I can remember, Calzaghe suffered an injury a while ago and that is why his september comeback was put back until October. I have no evidence to back this up, just remembering comments that have been in the press before.

Also, I have a sneaking feeling that you don't like Calzaghe, thus won't be too keen on sympathising with Calzaghe wanting a fair share of the pot when you consider that he is likely to be the big draw of most of the fights that he's in.
FW said there will be an announcement about it this week, so eyes open folks.

I would like that, but Winky wouldnt beat Calzaghe...Winky just got through against Taylor. Calzaghe is a step up too far...

Still, I wouldnt mind watching it....

Calzaghe COULD NOT fight Beyer on Octboer 14, but he CAN fight some drunkard from underneath a Cardiff bridge (or whoever else FWarren will sell us as the most threatening opponent to date).

Being that aforementioned drunkard, i object to any suggestion that Calzaghe would choose to fight me over Beyer. Anyhow, what I was saying was that although originally Calzaghe wanted to fight in September, and didn't want to wait until October for the fight, I think he did pick up an injuryafter the deal with Beyer fell through, forcing him to put back the date of the fight.

Beyer priced himself out of a clash with Calzaghe...this is an old ass arguement.

He would later go on the injured list once again after starting negotiations with Kessler & then Jones.

[1st rd ko]

Is Joe defending his belts or going for a big money fight? Dosent he have a mandatory?

[neverscared]

Doesn't matter, its on my b-day anyway

i voted for froch because i feel that froch should get his shot. He has come a long way and i do feel that joe would beat him, and it will shut froch's mouth. in the long run i want to see joe fight the winner of kessler and bayer, so joe can prove that he is the best unified super middle champion. the reason why i picked froch as well as i feel he deserves the shot i also feel that there isnt that many challengers that have proved that they should be in the ring with joe. as for froch he is undeafeted and he is british. that could be a big thing for warren if the fight takes part in england. a british world title fight would draw in alot of people and joe can finally show carl that he is out of his league. so i do give the thumbs up for joe to fight carl and then joe go on to fight kessler or bayer

i think every1 does, joe would make an easier night out of it than he did with lacy. in an ideal world id like to see lacy/froch. 2 punchers what a fight. lacy would win though as the cobra has no defence

Beyer priced himself out of a clash with Calzaghe...this is an old a** arguement.

What's your info that says Beyer outpriced himself?

Here's a quote:

Beyer also stated he had wanted to fight Joe Calzaghe more than Kessler. "We had it agreed in principle for a September date" said Beyer, "but then Markus´ cut needed more time to heal but Calzaghe´s promoter Frank Warren was unable to postpone it."

(source: http://www.eastsideboxing.com/news.php?p=7565&more=1)

According to Beyer the timing was the problem, not the money. (though now that Kessler-Beyer has been signed the timing would suddently have been perfect) Have you heard Calzaghe/Warren say otherwise?
And even if they do. Funny how it's always "the other guy" who's outpricing himself. That argument is getting pretty worn comming from Calzaghe.

I'm just wondering if you automaticly dismisses any failed negotiation as a case of "the other guy outpricing himself" or if you have an actual source.
