Why didn't Calzaghe unify against other British champions?

[Horse]

Was there ever any serious talk of Calzaghe fighting against Reid, Woodhall or Catley when they were WBC champions and he was WBO champion?

Woodhall was champion for quite a long time during Calzaghe's reign. Was there any particular reason it didn't happen?


Since Calzaghe won the WBO title on 11.10.1997:

Reid was WBC champion from 11.10.1997 - 19.12.1997: Just over 2 months.
Woodhall was WBC champion from 27.3.1998 - 23.10.1999: Just under 1 year and 7 months.
Catley was WBC champion from 06.05.2000 - 01.09.2000: Just under 4 months.

I think Reid was champion longer than two months.

I meant whilst Calzaghe held the WBO title. They had two months to unify.

money.

warren would have had to fork out more money to 2 champions.

plus the wbc and wbo had that little falling out around 1998.

at a ricardo lopez fight.

so they didn't allow a fighter to hold both at the same time.

catley had a mandatory didn't he?
