I think I saw a small article in the News of The World today saying that Calzaghe has hand/back probs and his next defence will be delayed. :(

New year, same old story...

Yeah to be fair Blue we are always moaning about his lack of competition ourselves...just check some of the earlier posts on this very thread for examples of that. Calzaghe has become a fighter content with easy money defences while whining for his "Big Fight" yet is unwilling to travel to wherever to make it happen. He instead thinks the big boys are going to come and fight in his backyard on his terms and it aint gonna happen
