Yeah, well they were trying to put Kessler in front of him for 3.4 million and the coward said no. And 20 defenses of the WBO title mean nothing. And yes I did sc you.
Sorry VD mate, but you're talking out of your arse again bro....they were trying to put him in front of Kessler hundreds of miles from where he has fought most of his fight, in front of a crowd who would probably help Kessler to 3 or 4 points on the cards before it starts from the home advantage. Why would a champion put himself and his title at risk like that? Look at the other p4pers and how many of the others have turned their backs on their fanbase to go fight in different countries, apart from Manny Pac, who made the big bucks in the states, and Winky Wright who came the hard way through the ranks, they've all stayed near their fanbases. The americans never left their country to fight, and the Mexicans have stayed in Latin America and the US, so wtf do you expect Calzaghe to leave the UK? See counter's previous accusation of hypocrisy, and add my name to that list, cause you are bro.

Anyhow, back to the question of Welsh boxers, Calzaghe has to be right up there with the aforementioned Jimmy Wilde, but also Tommy Farr, who took on the legends of Joe Louis, Jim Braddock, Max Baer and went the distance each time, in the US.
