Why should Calzaghe have the privilege

[superheavyrhun]

Why do all of the big fights have to be in the USA? Champion of the WORLD means just that.

why does all of Calzaghe's big fights have to be in the UK? I could understand Kessler and Lacy going to the UK to try to dethrone him, but if Calzaghe wants to dethrone Hopkins he should come here. Simple honor and respect demands in.

At the end of the day, this is going to show us who wants it more. I think Calzaghe will come just this once to the U.S.
Calzaghe should ask for a compromise which states that if Calzaghe comes to America, he will get the much larger purse because B-Hop is not only being a biatch about the location, he is also playing hardball regarding the money situation. I say make this fight in a neutral country and winner takes the bigger purse. These two old phuk heads are acting like kids. No wonder they never grow old because neither one has grown up.

Sounds like you got it bang on. But whilst we're at it....Hopkins has left the US twice, for opponents with a combined record of (26-10-1), whilst Calzaghe's two opponents outside of the British isles have a combined record of (74-3-0).
