Dude, Calzaghe will not fight forever, same as everone else won't. I'm convinced that Joe C won't fight Kess simply because FW will hve tell him that it is his duty to fight an American, then beat whomever steps up on an American front, and to destroy everyone else in his path. I see Calzaghe winnning at a cruise against MK, but it is up tro him to prove that he is worthy of a world title shot by the champ. In honesty, Kessler should run. Run hard, run fast, and hide those belts in a rundown bunker. Whatever it takes doode!
So your conclusion is, that Calzaghe is just sooooo damn good, that he doesn't need to prove himself at all. And it doesn't matter at all that you've got another, younger, undefeated, two-belt champ in the division. Calzaghe's dominance is simply beyond question?

How did Calzaghe ever achieve that status? I can't imagine any other champ, in any other division, where given similar circumstances, ppl would just say - "no need for a unification fight, 'coz one guy has already proven himself beyond doubt".

I agree with you that Warren is most likely holding back (though i've seen nothing to indicate Calzaghe would have wanted it differently). But that doesn't mean i have to respect it or applaud it.
