Pardon the ramble,just doing my Cobb....

New to Calzaghe myself,last 3 years about but he has come to the forfront right now.To me he seems to fight out of Pride and Rep.A cocky dude brimming with all around skills.Hands,footwork,moxie and Drive.

Kessler is a breath of fresh air and a Problem to come for any fighter that sees him a easy mark.He will be champ again.Is there any doubt that his next outing will be anticipated highly($) and will have great exposure?

Bernard Hopkins is in fact the Lt.Heavy Champ and is rellashing the bounty's at this time he rightly or wrongly FEELS he has been denied for so long.He will have a say in the direct promotion ties and contract terms (maybe under the table) but lets be real here.Calzaghe will be going into Hopkins weight,after what Hopkins has,to conquer A great and ensure to be thought of as such in the long run.Calzaghe wants this fight & Hopkins Knows It.
Point blank Hopkins does not need Calzaghe at this point in his career,especially with Calzaghe speaking of retirement prior and is no young blood himself.As a hardcore fan I would like to say Hopkins should WANT Calzaghe and to go out with Added glory by meeting with a p4p and Top fighter in there Division.Theres no way Hopkins is leaving the states so Calzaghe Will have to go To U.S if He truly wants this fight(And I believe he does very much).Its not a matter of B-hop being afraid,thinking he might get beat,or Not being as good with skills as Joes skills....Come on .He may have gotten old,reserved,slow,.....Hes also gotten shrewd & Wise.If Hopkins put the bait in the water with 60/40 comments,Call him on it.When Joe/If Joe Defeats Hopkins convincingly He'll reap it ten fold.This may sound nuts but Calzaghe should not attach himself and get bound up to Hopkins He can have his own legacy in the eyes of the fans.Hopkins loves this Crap.
Ultimately it seems they want the perfect Last hoo-rah fairwell fight (If Indeed Joes Looking to hang em up) each.....Just shut up and fight! Its late,Mondays inbound.
