Where's that coming from. I don't believe for a second that fight'll get made. Taylor is still young and is the king of the middleweight division. Plus he still has unfinished business with Winky--which I guarantee you will get finished before he even thinks about Calzaghe. Much bigger fight. Why can't Calzaghe just fight Kessler? That's the fight everyone wants to see. Why is he even considering fighting this reality TV star (that couldn't even beat smaller guys to win his boxing TV show)?
Pffft, Calzaghe's manager and promoter Frank Warren has essentially said that he is looking to make Joe Calzaghe a star in the United States. And let's face it, fighting Mafredo will allow Calzaghe to be an easy victor over a reality TV wannabe. If he wins, then he's another step closer to that 25 defence record he wants. As for Taylor, it would sell PPv by the bucketload an both sides of the continent, and I think it would make for a very good fight. Even if I believe that Calzaghe's dominance at SMW will continue, whatever WW of JT can do.
