    Joe Calzaghe needs to step up & replace Jermaine Taylor

    Looks like Jermaine Taylor is gonna have to pull out of the super 6 tourney.

    What better replacement none other than the slap master Joe Calzaghe.

    I hate the slapper but it would do wonders for his legacy & reputation this side of the atlantic if he came out of retirement, joined the tournament to replace taylor & win the whole thing. He is more than capable.

    Not only would it enhance his legacy to win it but it would pit him vs prime young opponents from diffirent countries.

    Him winning the tourney would silence carl froch UK detractors, the eastern europe side if he beats abraham & it would alleviate the senior citizenship beatings of roy jones jr & bernard hopkins if he could beat andre ward or andre dirrell.

    Any match up vs Calzaghe would be a great fight.

    Na, he's beaten the guy who is probably going to win the whole thing. I don't like Calzaghe one bit, but he doesn't need to come in this tournament. The only guy I give a chance to beat Kessler is Abraham.

      No chance Calzaghe risks ruining his Legacy in this.

        Kessler is probably the favorite, and Calzaghe beat him. I want Bute/Andrade winner to replace Taylor.

            I think that would be great - would give so much more weight and attention to their rematch in November too. Because we'd know the winner would get the golden ticket.

              What legacy is that?

              The guy who fought almost his entire career in wales then decided to fight bernard & joe when they were 39 & 43 years old?

              Oh wait the guy who gave the great jeff lacy his first loss.

              Calzaghe's legacy now < Calzaghe's legacy winning the super 6.

                If calzaghe doesn't get effected by the long layoff he beats anyone in this tournament convincingly.

                  yes the retired 175 fighter should man up and unretire to join a 168 tournament and fight for less money than he would make fighting someone else.
