I think this is a smart move for Amir. He's definitely not ready to go to the States yet.

It is a good move from Amir, he needs Warren at this moment in time but wait till he gets a title and his independence

Calzaghe did waste a lot of his prime fighting B class fighters but no more than Jones or Hopkins of the same period happens to all fighters.

Mayweather took time off fighting bums and Pavlik who just beat Lockett is looking at Mora or Williams.
