For someone who considers himself a journalist there seems to be a lot of hating going on here, and a lack of knowledge. Two fights outside the UK, that's true, but he also fought Woodhall, Starie, Eubank, Reid (granted Eubank was hated at the time) in their home country of ENGLAND. Exactly how many times did the likes of Roy Jones, Floyd Mayweather, B-hop fight outside of the US when they was number one?

Are you Frank Warren??

You are going to compare Joe Calzaghe to B-Hop,,Jones,,Mayweather Jr.....

Calzaghe best opp...Bika, Lacey, Eubank,,Veit

Jones...Titles in 4 weight classes MW,SM,LH,HW...Hopkins, Toney, Ruiz, Grant, Pazienza, Griffin,, Hill

Mayweather Jr.... Titles at SF, LW,,SLW,,WW,,Jr MW..Corrales,, Castillo twice,, Corley,, Judah,, Mitchell, Baldomir,, De La Hoya,,

Hopkins--MW champ 11 years,,LHW Champion,, Roy Jones,,Trinidad,, Allen,, Holmes,, Joppy,, De La Hoya,, Eastman,, Tarver,, Taylor,, and soon to be fighting Wright

Do you see the level of competition difference.....Is it starting to become clear...

As for why they fought in America well that is because all the best fought here anyway...None would have had a problem with going anywhere else....


Since you made the BS statement about Challengers...Though Kessler has 2 of the big 4.....Evreyone of them were P4P hands down against the BEST!!!!!

I am now Positive you are Frank Warren
Hopkins
