Calzaghe eyes Contender Manfredo

[1st rd ko]

Manfredo is not in the class of Calzaghe. Why can't Calzaghe move up and challenge for the lightheavy title?

'coz there is no one at LH who is worth beating, but as it seems it will be calzaghe v taylor in the summer...

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.

Taylor isnt that big of a name either. There are really no big huge names that Joe is going to get. B-hop? No. ODLH? No. RJJ is about it and he is shot and we all know it.

Dude, at the end of the day, a fighter can only beat what is put in front of him by a manager like Farank Warren. At the end of the day, his interest is simply in preserving his boxer, and in ensuring that his favourite son does not lose his undefeated record, and step into obsoleteness because of that. FW won't let his boy become a nobody, but then again, he won't let JC fight his best oppnent until it happens that JC is the best there was, the best there is adn the best that there ever will be at SMW.

Im sure you mean good and all, but why wont he fight Kessler then? He took on Lacy so why be so worried about Kess. Its not like Joe can fight forever. And if he loses to Manfredo? What will you think then?
