And if anyone needs to be finding fights at 168, it's Calzaghe not Wright. He's probably only making a little bit less then what Winky or Nard is making, and he is fighting someone who poses absolutely no threat at all. Calzaghe doesn't belong in the discussion until he can show a willingness to make big fights on a consistent basis, something Hopkins and Winky have been doing for years.
Your first sentence showed up all that you suggested afterwards.
Every fighter is looking for paychecks....Why is Calzaghe fighting Manfredo
