A side note, Evans Ashira returned to the ring in May winning a fight at Light Middleweight!

If Calzaghe is the best super middle then he should fight MUNDINE.

Cracking fight if it happens!!!!

Then fight the winner of Kessler Vs Beyer for all the titles.

That proves he is the best super middle.

Beating Mundine would do absolutely nothing for Calzaghe.

Why beat on Kessler's recent opponents when he should be fighting Kessler himself?

Well Kessler is fighting Beyer on the same date so Calzaghe still needs an opponent for October. Why not Mundine he is the best available? It wont be him though it will be some 2 bob opponent.

I agree, I fear this opponent is going to be a two-bob bit one.

Trouble is, there is no one good out there for him to figh as things stand, except maybe someone like Andrade.

It'll probably end up being Peter Manfredo!

Why do they bother setting these dates when they will announce the opponent only to cancel?

SHAMBLES!

Floyd set his date for November and no one bitched when his was still TBA.

Is Max in hiding until the Calzaghe opponent is announced? Could be a while yet.

Max Molyneux where are you? Its still TBA mate!

Was not on the internet yesterday to see this my Welsh betraying boxrec friend. :P

Fwank pisses me off, I want another superfight!

Well it is hard to make superfight after superfight happen and it rarely ever does.

Plus no way, I don't want to end up paying 15 quid to watch Calzaghe on Sky Box Office getting ripped off like we do with Hatton.

One thing I have learned over the years when it comes to Sports Network/allegedly - one swallow does not make a summer.

When a fighter deserves it though, he has gotten them a proper world title though so he's not all bad.

Now, as an American, I have to ask this. I understand you guys are proud of Joe and the absolute beating he put down on Lacy. However, he obviously has pulled this type of shit before, and still continues to do it even after having his bandwagon fill up. Are you guys sick of this shit by now, or is it pretty much accepted as standard practice for him?

I'm proud of any British fighter who tries his best on the world scene or wins a proper world title. Well he might of possibly ducked someone but theres no proper proof of it and I'm sure it's happened both ways.

Well I've not been sick of it because I've only been a fan for just over 2 years.

And I've only just logged in to find this out.

nickd · Post by **nickd** » 17 Aug 2006, 06:28

Well lets hope they sort it out soon, I bet it will be next week or the week after then the opponent will only have 6 weeks or so preperation.

Typical!

steve689 · Post by **steve689** » 17 Aug 2006, 07:34

Doubt it will be Rudy Markussen...too dangerous they will want a real fall over job. Plus Markussen will probably price himself out of the fight anyway if approached.

That's pretty funny. Let's hope TBA can bounce back from his loss to Nigel Wright, he's got a pretty busy schedule coming up.

jomothepure · Post by **jomothepure** » 18 Aug 2006, 05:51

Has anyone who's read/heard from the right source have any idea when an opponent might be announced.

Absolutely no news whatsoever on the FW website. Not a dicky bird about Calzaghe, which doesn't seem to bode well.

Obviously you can buy tickets off them though

I might have to take my words back

Gawd this is getting sooooo boring, just like the bloody Hatton TBA saga.

Joe's biography should be called TBA.

From boxrec record .... I discovered who is TBA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only hint we had about this very popular and busy fighter was a loss by KO in the 4th round vs Nigel Wright.

From boxrec's record ... TBA is ..... Valery Kharyanov in the Light Middleweight (fighting at 140 pound WTF) division. Still better than a lightweight for joe :p

Anouncement is due tomorrow, apparently.

Still no opponent, this is ridiculous.

Old bones Ian · Post by **Old bones Ian** » 20 Aug 2006, 17:33

From what i hear the problem is the IBF want Joe to fulfill his mandatory against German boxer Robert Stieglitz , this isn't what Frank would want , as he had lined up a defense against american Joey Spina.

Stieglitz has been pretty pally with the IBF , having held various minor titles of theirs. So Frank will find it a pain trying to get out of the mandatory, he may have to pay a step aside fee to Stieglitz.

Spina would be the easier fight to sell to american audiences, as he is at least known over there. Spina has had a couple of decent wins and is a good supermiddle.
Robert Stieglitz isn't known anywhere so would be a very bad opponent for Joe to face looking at it commercially
I can't give an opinion on Stieglitz as i've not seen him box.

Spina sucks, he won't sell anything, neither fight does anything for Joe, especially over here. Spina drew Spearman who was KOed by prospect Curtis Stevens in 2 not long after.

lol at Spina... WTF is Calzaghe doing? He should of fought Manfredo a while back. Manfredo will bring in more of an audience than Spina and will give him a tougher fight.
