    Maybe Calzaghe regrets not fighting these guys in their primes , its a part of boxing that i hate , Sven Ottke and Calzaghe both so called unbeaten world champions , in the same division , and never fought, ( not that its all Calzaghe's fault ) it is just bullshit when the best in divisions dont fight.
    Basically boxing politics are total bullshit as we are all well aware of.
    We shouldnt be left guessing who beats who , we should see it happen !!!
    Solution is simple - 1 champion per division.
    As you say boxing politics are bullshit.

    SO.. being the No.1 contenter to an alphabet doesn't guarantee anything. And certainly wouldn't have changed his "star" status across the pond

    I really ment if he was mandatory , and calls a guy like RJJ out , then if the fight doesnt happen its down to the champ ,
    He isnt the only fighter guilty of this kind of thing ,

    Oh I see. But then i'm sure self admitted haters, like yourself, would still find a way to easily blame Calzaghe for the fights not happening..

    If he had taken that route he would be blameless.

    Oh well.. maybe he thinks about that at night.. if only he'd done things different - he may not have been a 46-0 multi-millionaire - but at least he would have got the respect of Dark Lord Al
