Why is Calzaghe scared to fight in America?

So 99% of the American champs aren't "real" world champs then?

Thanks for clearing that up. :good

 

Hey Drex...it also may very well be that USA judges are as bad for him, as Germanys' are for amrican fighters

 

You can make the argument of why wont he fight here and why we wont fight there,I honestly see it as 2 things
....

1.There is comfort in your own backyard
2.its hard to go back after you sould out 50,000 seats

 

Good Pernt, Ali was almost the only USA fighter to fight anyone anywhere:hi:

 

Does Hopkins?

 

thats funny i thought they were world champs because they beat the best fighter that a world organisation has at the time.

 

You can take anything apart if you want to. If you want to apply those rules, then why should Calzaghe travel to fight Hopkins?

Hopkins has NO belts. Lost TWICE recently to a guy that's just been battered, and is fighting 2 weight classes above his best, and could barely be called an active fighter.

Calzaghe has just won 2 belts from a young, undefeated champ, and has never been defeated himself.

 

top american fighters should be scrambling over the selfs to fight him in wales. to be the best you have to fight the best. he is champ his legacy is cemented. no one can re write the record books.

yanks get off your high horse about the "boxing capital of the world". if you need to travel to be rated and cement your legacy then i put a large ? over floyd mayweather if that is how legacy is cemented.your excuse of the champ doesnt have to travel wont work on this one. the only reason america has such a pool of fighters is mainly due to south americans and other nationalities and the fact that there countries are corrupt or poor. were did winky go when know yank ***** would fight him. uk. you know why cause we will fight anyone. oh and isnt it bernard hopkins who is pulling out of the calzaghe fight, and hopkins who out priced him self out of the fight a few years ago after agreeing to a fight and money and then coming back a day later with double the financial demand.

Undisputed super-middleweight champion Calzaghe, 35, targeted American legend Hopkins following his victory over Dane Kessler earlier this month.
Warren apparently opened talks with Hopkins' representatives, Golden Boy Promotions, over a possible match in New York in the spring.

But Hopkins, a notoriously tough negotiator, has been told by his trainer to forget about a fight with Calzaghe

 

Ali was NOT an ATG.

(That's a bit like saying that a cadillac is the Rolls Royce of cars)



Ali was the GREATEST.

 

Calzaghe should be scared to fight in the america. he has too much to lose if he comes over here and doesn't look as impressive as he does at home.

right now he is in the top 5 pfp but there's still a big question mark over his career about how great he really his. as great as the people in Wales think he is, he has yet to truly prove himself to the rest of the world.


you Calzaghe fans really should want him to come to the u.s. and show what he is really made of. that way there won't be any controversy or doubts. :good

 

He is allergic to small paychecks.
