Has Frank Warren held back Joe calzaghe's career?

[porkypara]

For the first 9 or 10 years of his career most of the British or even Welsh general public had never heard of Joe Calzaghe.

Its only after his win over lacy that he was wetly known.Then he packed the millenium stadium with 35000 against a bum.Them another 55000 against Kesller.Then BBc sports personality of the year.All in 2 years.

I put this down to Warren been more interested in his other fighters he was promoting at the time such as Benn,Naz and Tyson to name a few.

Calzaghe could amd should have been a British Boxing superstar for at least the last 5 years.

Sure...I believe taht he has...but in the end...Joe agreed to saddle up that pony that he refused to ride anywhere but merry ole' EngRand!

Had Joe pushed hard enough...I believe that he might have gotten to go elsewhere...but he didn't...& here's where we are.

In the end...I don't have that many issues with it...because in the end...Jones jr, Hopkins, Oscar, & Floyd are all guilty of doing the same & they are still considered to be our greatest champions stateside.

The fighters you mentioned all fought more big names than Calzaghe. They don't have a ? mark next to there resume like Calzaghe does.

Agreed.But the market was there in wales at least for a super star and Warren did not exploite it.

All the fighter I named were big names coz they were promoted the right way early in there boxing careers.
