Several media outlets in the UK are reporting that Joe Calzaghe is looking for a unification bout against recently crowned IBF champion Jeff Lacy. Frank Warren is going to make a substantial cash offer to Gary Shaw, the promoter of Jeff Lacy in order to make the fight.

Should the fight come off, it would be the biggest fight at the super middleweight division in the last few years. The super middleweight division limit of 168 pounds has suffered due to a lack of talent, star appeal and none of the division's top fighters ever fight eachother. Calzaghe hopes that a win over Lacy, opens up doors for potential super fights against Antonio Tarver and Glen Johnson. Jeff Lacy is said to be very receptive at the prospect of facing Calzaghe, recognized as the best fighter at 168 pounds. [details (http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=93)]

sounds like it would be a pretty decent fight
to untested prospects
one would assume each would be anxious to show his dominance or supirooirty over the other
id have to pick lacy in this
he just seems to strong and tenacious

I wouldnt class the number 1 and 3(possible 2) as two untested prospects. :)
