guidance or not, joe is still his OWN PERSON. and HE knows HIS ability in the ring, and He knows Manfredo's ability in the ring. and HE can Veto anything they "suggest" i highly doubt he is walking through his career BLIND. The decision to fight a guy like manfredo who hasn't fought anyone in the top 5 let alone the champ, and is 3-5 in his last 8 fights is hardly a surprise to calzaghe.
