All this talk about them fighting now is a total farce & it's just taking the fans for mugs!
It virtually could have never happened Jones moved up to Light Heavyweight in 1996, before Calzaghe was even World Champion. And even Calzaghe won the title in 1997 he was still unknown outside UK. Jones was P4P 1 and looking at it from his point of view. He would have to move down a weight class and fight over in the UK against an opponent who was high risk/low reward the fact is Calzaghe wasn't a name outside the UK so there was no need for Jones to fight him in the 90s, plus they were always at different weight classes.
Good points.

You're right in what you say.

I'm just wound up about the 2 of them talking about fighting each other now.

It just seems like they want to swell their pensions at the expense of boxing fans.
