Danny G, this is where we disagree. This fight is a primer for a Calzaghe/Taylor bout. Across the big pond Calzaghe/Kessler is as big as its gonna get. 3 mil for Joe.

However, if Joe speedbags Manfredo, and he should, the casual american fan will drool over a Calzaghe/Taylor match up.

Joe at...what... 34-35... is looking to cash in. More scratch in his pocket fighting Taylor, or dare I say Hopkins.
Ah! I see your point. Yes Taylor or Hopkins fight is more down our alley here. Screw Kessler
