Tarver was the bigger fight, the bigger name, would've earned him more money etc etc.
But Tarver wanted Johnson. Johnson wanted Tarver. Calzaghe couldnt stop those two fighting. What was he supposed to do?
And you ignored my point about Calzaghe still wanting to fight Johnson even after he lost to Tarver. An agreement was in place pending the result of Johnson vs Woods. If he had never wanted to fight Johnson then why still be interested when he didnt need to fight him?
