He mentioned a European, but just to keep ticking over, but they were trying to get him a bigger fight. He said that he would love to fight Calzaghe but that he was going after money and that he could understand why, but that he would like to fight Kessler. He said that they were all world class.
I think that the problem that he has is the the same as Witter. He is a huge risk, that they don't want to take right now.
Honestly speaking, all these top fighters know in their heart of hearts what fights they need to take that would make them legends, and if any of them truely believed in their own ability they would. Calzaghe would take on Froch and Hatton would put Witter to bed.
They are both opponents that are a lot more credible than their next opponents. The only reason they are not has to be that they are not worth the risk.
Opinions?
are you smoking crack? you think calzaghe needs froch to make him a legend? like S*** he does, he beats froch he proves nothing! hes beaten fighter alot better or alot more proven on the world stage than froch already.. with name slike hopkins, wright, taylor, kessler out there why the hell would froch even be an option right now??

Same with hatton, with Castillo, mayweather, Cotto out there why witter?
Read my statement again!!!! I didn't say that Calzaghe needed to fight Froch to make him a ledend, I said that he knew the fights that he had to make to make him a legend, theres a difference. Calzaghe needs to fight B-Hop, or back in the day RJJ. If he was truely confident then he would have taken a cut to make these fights. By winning them he would then be able to name his own price. The reason the fight isn't being made is either he is worried that he could loose, or he's more concerned about making money. The same goes for Hatton. No matter how you look at it Witter and Froch are better fights than Manfredo and Urango.
mate, hopkins was offerd a career high pay day back in the day to fight joe in the us, he wnated double it...
