    hmmm...Joe Calzaghe vs Glen Johnson?

    How do you think this would play out? Johnson has a come forward approach like Lacy, HOWEVER he is not dependent on power, has a tight defense, throws punches and combinations, and can work for 12 rounds...

      after last nights performance, i'd say Calzaghe would sworm the **** out of Johnson. although i think that Johnson would be more competitive but due to the work rate of Calzaghe he would out hustle Johnson in a action packed fight.....

      i wouldn't mind watcing this one.

      i'd like to see Kessler and Calzaghe get it on. or Tarver and Calzaghe....

        tough fight to call.....good contrast of styles.
        I would say Calzagle just based on his handspeed, but Glen is naturally the bigger man.
        I'd lean towards Joe

          I had never thought about this fight, but it's much more compelling than the Tarver matchup Joe was talking about.

            Glen would be a great fight for Joe. I dont think it will happen, especialy if Tarver or Jones comes a knocking with a sack of $$$.
            But if it did, i cant see it going much different than the Lacy fight? Joe will outscore anyone, but i can see Tarver roughing it up a bit more, using his experience, but i think Joe would get a comfortable points decicion.

              IMO, Calzaghe would do the same thing Tarver did to Glen in their 2nd fight but with faster hands and more combos.

                I have to lean towards Johnson just cuz I'm sure he's seen just about every style and probably has a way to beat every style.

                    I was thinking this as I watched the fight...what a good match-up this would be but I have to say calzaghe is very quick and may beat Johnson but it is defintely a fight I would love to see.
