    Who else was he supposed to fight with so many other challengers taking a pass?

    so you'd rather the world champ fought someone subdomestic than wait for alegit challenger?

    do you really mean that? Are you a Calzaghe fan?

    First of all, he wasn't THE champ.. Lennox Lewis was. Secondly, he was in line to fight Lewis but was looking to stay busy and took Sanders as a tuneup. with no legit challenger available in site, he chose to stay active against the only man who was willing to fight him, and one who was a big puncher with fast hand speed. So yes, As a title holder and in the absence of other challengers it was his duty to take what fights he could get...
