Ok, I very nearly started a topic on this one but figured people are sick of hearing about Joe and his escapades to find a 'super' fight.

I have a theory about Calzaghe-Kessler and why Joe doesn't want the fight yet.

Joe wants to break America, but can't draw there at all because out of his 43 fights, Lacy & Manfredo are the only fighters the casual fan can recognise that he's beaten. So, knowing full well that a loss to Kessler will pretty much demolish any chance he has of breaking America, rather than risk it, he wants to establish himself in the boxing capital of the world before risking all against the dangerous Dane. Hence why he wants Taylor & B-Hop first.

Just my theory...if you disagree, I will respect you're right to be wrong
