you know what i was getting at that though. I mean a fighter of Joe's calibre should have been to the states more.
Calzaghe is talking big.

exactly mate he flew there once. As a profile raiser indeed but whats the point if you dont follow it up?
he is 30 years old not 25 as Hatton is and Hatton is already better known in the US than Calzaghe cos of his style and appeal to the US tv audience as James correctly states..
Do you honestly think JC would make more money fighting a Pudwill or Jimenez in cardiff or fighting a Tarver or Jones in vegas?
no brainer my friend. Even if he wasnt sometimes you need to take a step back to go forward.
Calzaghe makes more money fighting Tocker Pudwill in Cardiff than fighting Tocker Pudwill in Vegas. He makes more money fighting Glen Johnson in Cardiff than he does fighting him in Vegas. Tarver, not sure, depends on how he does against Jones. He makes more money fighting Jones in Vegas than he does fighting Jones in Cardiff. Jones is the only exception to this rule that I can see currently fighting at light-heavy. Plus Jones won't go to Cardiff to fight in a month of Sundays.
Point taken on the pointless profile raiser.
