    Calzaghe would have my utmost respect, if he rematched Bernard. You would never hear me say anything negative about him ever again, if he took this rematch. Regardless of the outcome.

    I'm dying to see Hopkins go up against Joe with Naazim heading up his corner, and without the thyroid condition.

      If Froch can beat Taylor it is obvious he belongs with the best, and a British superfight could be made.

      If Taylor beats Froch it will solidify his status, and would prove an attractive fight to HBO.

      Dawson doesn't have the name yet for a superfight to take place. Although I would like Dawson after the fights mentioned above.
      Taylor stock is dropping and Dawson's is rising. Wright has better chance than Johnson I believe if he beats Williams

        Lol, screw winky wright.

        I would actually prefer to see a Bhop rematch than a chad dawson fight.

        Hopefully that happens.

Calzaghe could be lined up for a rematch with Bernard Hopkins,or face Chad Dawson or Ronald 'Winky' Wright.




          hmmm, interesting, who could it be?
          No Glen Johnson? That's a shame. The one guy who'd probably have the best shot at beating him.

            The winner of Taylor-Froch.

            Plus they would have already had exposure over in the U.K if that fight happens.
            It makes sense. And both are very winnable fights for Calzaghe.

            I don't think Dawson has the exposure yet to warrant a shot at Calzaghe. If you want to end your career, you need to end it big.

              It should be Taylor or Dawson.

              Fighting Johnson, because of his age and 12 losses, would just fuel the Calzaghe haters.

                I think Johnson is the easiest fight. I can see Calzaghe running rings around him and winning a wide decision.

                  Lol the casual fans in the U.K would LAUGH at Calzaghe if he fought another guy whos 40 and has 12 losses.


                  Just not gonna happen, keep dreaming people.

                    Who the hell wants to see him fight Jer-Shame "Sad Intentions" Taylor?

                    Taylor has been abandoned by HBO, and most of the viewing audience anyway. He just got knocked out twice by Pavlik, and bounced back with a win over Jeff "LOL" Lacy.

                    Dawson or Hopkins, preferably Hopkins.

                      Yes, because of his style, Johnson would be the easiest fight. But it would do no good for his legacy.
