If he was ever gonna ply his trade in the States he would of done it by now.

His unwillingness to travel has obviously hindered making big fights.

Why's he fighting Manfredo in Wales? (i know, record equaling defence deserves to be in front of his fans and all) Surely if they had any intentions of fighting in the States the Manfredo fight would of been PERFECT for Calzaghes debut there?
