HBO's money helped make Calzaghe - Kessler happen.

Calzaghe - Manfredo raised Calzaghe's profile and thus helped the bigger fight happen.

[Claypole]

Yep, Kessler, Lacy, Eubank, Reid, Mitchell, Brewer, all nobodies.

That fight was fought at like 5 p.m on the East Coast in States. I don't think an afternoon fight against Manfredo did much in the way of raising his profile

HBO would never have paid the same amount without the Manfredo fight.

The fight wasn't available (nor as appealing for teh Calzaghe camp, before Taylor officially ducked) immediately after Lacy, which would have been the ideal time.

As if Calzaghe had some sort of strategy to make the Kessler fight happen - COME ON, Joe had no idea that he(eventually) would face Kessler at the time of the manfredo fight.

The Taylor fight was intended intitially.

The sucessful Manfredo=exposure strategy was always there.

[CarltonBlues]

I think he should fight Viet again just to remove all doubt.

Yes, but Kesller had been calling out Joe for months at that time without hearing the slightest in return from Joe.

But that was before the whole of America ducked Joe again.

Yep, Kessler, Lacy, Eubank, Reid, Mitchell, Brewer, all nobodies.Kessler, we'll see what happens...LAcy is good, not great...Eubank, he was way past his prime...Reid, I thought Reid narrowly outpointed Joe...Mitchell, good fighter not great and he dropped Joe...Brewer, good fighter...

Overall, Joe C is a very good Champ, and yes, he does have a padded record

The Manfredo fight was BOGUS, the stoppage was bologna, Manfredo wasn't even hurt and Joe was slapping his gloves, BOGUS stoppage

Fucking hell, hasn't this fight been deliberated, cogitated and digested? Get over it. Calzaghe won FFS. There are no coverups.
