    Where are they going to get 25 million from? Even if they fight in Wales they probably still wouldn't have enough to pay both fighters.

    Ottke is still Undefeated 21 title defense IBF 1998-2004, same division as WBO title holder Calzaghe...same time...offer Ottke half that and he will come to end the debate, once and for all

    Why would Ward want to fight an old retired fighter?

    Calzaghe is in his 40s not fought for several years and had damaged hands and a long career when he retired.

    But guess what... If it happened it would be Wards biggest fight which tells you how Calzaghe left a massive void in the division when he retired

    Enzo Calzaghe would never allow it. Anyway, he took care of his son's finances before he retired. He doesn't need the money.

    Also, the fight would never generate that kind of money. Calzaghe is not a big name in America, and Ward isn't a big name anywhere. It's not a money fight on the level of Floyd vs Canelo. Not even close.

    Ward is a big name in UK.

    Everybody knows him after he destroyed Froch.

    How many Undefeated Italians reached 30-0, its usually dad protecting son...feeding him a safe diet of tomato cans....no offense to the Sardinians who rightfully feel as non Italian folks...Calzaghe ruined his island reputation by ducking Ottke...If he beats him now...he can at least say thats what would have happened...as of now Ottke to Calzaghe...is whats Wlad to Vitali...his half champion...

    Ottke was a bum who relied on home-town decisions. Not in the same stratosphere as Calzaghe.

    Not a cat's chance Calzaghe and Ward would generate 50mill!

    Maybe $2.5million rather than 25, then it's not worth Calzaghe's while.

    Now why would Calzaghe come out of retirement and his enjoyment of the white rhino to get his arse handed to him by a prime pound for pound fighter, of the likes he hasn't seen before? If he thought he had trouble with Hopkins old Hopkins. What would he do with Ward?
