Now the fight means a lot more to both guys, and the boxing public and it will be far more profitable for all involved, thats why he fought manfredo and why they haven't met sooner
That's a fair and valid point bro. However, I am sure he had other, more respected (as well as profitable) opponents since Lacy rather than Bika and Manfredo. Frank Warren annoys me more than Joe Calzaghe in truth with his opponent picking. Although, it's up to the fighter to speak up if he doesn't like the easy competition he's being put in their with. Which is why I respect Hatton more so for speaking up and fucking Frank off. Joe just seems to be happy tooting his horn along with Warren after beating down each hand picked opponent. If he beats Kessler though, I won't be a fan but I will definitely give him credit. Anyone who doesn't after a victory like that would be stupid.
