Understand the dynamic of this one. I think The risk has little reward for Hop, He just wrote a perfect ending to his career...What does he have to gain??Calzaghe has little name recognition in the states(I have a lot of respect for Joe and my eyes were opened up after the Lacy fight I was a huge Calzaghe hater but I RESPECT THE MAN AND GIVE HIM HIS CREDIT)But most casual and recreational Boxing fans are not gonna really know who Joe is,THE FANATICS LIKE US KNOW AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE FIGHT..I just dont see it generating enough interest and bringing a big enough gate to get the millions to lure HOP out..

Plus with Joe having little recognition in the States it does little to advance Hop's legacy.A defeat would have the casual fans saying "HE LOST TO THAT GUY FROM THE UK!!!! I THINK HIS NAME IS CALZAGHE" in this case a loss would create more harm than the glory of a win...IMO
