If they cant dig out another Bika

Brian Magee's always available
Joe's travelled more than alot of fighters, not as much as he should have but he's fought
in both Germany and Denmark and won well in both. Yes he should go to America, but this fight will
be his 20 defence and mean alot to his fans so why not fight it on your home turf, nearly every boxer
would do the same
But it HAS to be a meaningful defence....we have had one "rest" against Bikia....

Sure, he could coast out his career with relatively easy fights....but if you have the talent why bother??

Having just read Hattons biography and seen how he parted ways with Warren, it makes me wonder a little at Joes drive in terms of striving to fight the best...as much as I like him, he has fought a fair share of imported fodder....

Sure he can sell out MEN arena or even a stadium....but the real goal is surely to always fight the best you can wherever....

Maybe its a little bit of negativity on my part but Calzaghe NEEDS 3 BIG fights to cement a legacy as an ATG...
It can be done but negotiations can fall early in planning a fight...

If a big fight comes of I will feel appeased....but I worry about who might be dished up for this defence....

Remember folks, Im a huge Calzaghe fan...but I need to vent some negativity every now and then...
