If he's going to fight again at SMW, it should only be to unify the titles against the #1 contender in the division--Kessler. This is pathetic.
Well Frank Warren has already said that because of the long injury layout between March and October, that he would not be looking for a huge fight for Calzaghe in the February date anyway, as he wants him on the top of his game, and the big fight for Joe would be coming in the summer. I've voiced my opinion on this before, but I think Manfredo, if you're looking for a tune-up fight, will give Joe a run-out but little more than that. I'd like to see a big fight too, but Frank's Frank, sadly.
Man Frank is getting to be as bad as Don King.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
