    Calzaghe should have taken on Tarver. A fight against Green is too big a gamble with little reward.

      Calzaghe said he wants 4 big fights before retiring in 2 years.

      After this fight in July, he should fight these guys:

      1.) Antonio Tarver at Light Heavyweight, as he regarded No 1 at that weight by many.
      2.) Undefeated Tomasz Adamek at Light Heavyweight for the WBC title.
      3.) Undefeated Mikkel Kessler at Super Middleweight for the WBA title.
      4.) Winky Wright has said he wants to seek revenge because his friend Lacy got beat up, so he may move upto SMW. Winky Wright does not have the power to knock anyone out, 25 KO's in 50 fights.

      If he were to win all these fights, he would go down as a legend.

          Adamek and Kessler wouldn't be big fights.

          From the horses mouth, Calzaghe would like to fight the winner of Taylor/Wright at 168 and then the winner of Tarver/Hopkins at 175. Also in his sights is the winner of Woods/Johnson III. No European fighter is in Joe's sights, to be honest. If HBO manage to build Kessler up, and if money is in that fight, then maybe Kessler can move up to 175 and challenge Joe in Joe's last fight?

                  Not at all. Green is a hot prospect, dangerous.

                  If Calzaghe lost to Tarver, he'd still get credit for giving it a good go in his first fight at 175 against a guy so much bigger, taller, rangier and southpaw.

                    True....but a loss against Tarver doesnt hurt his legacy nearly as much as a loss to Green.

                      Quite a good list, Rather see him face Taylor myself than Tarver, Tarvers 37 his best years are behind him.
                      Can't see him facing Kessler ever myself,
                      would be a great fight v Tomasz ADAKEK at lightheavy i think ADAKEK is going to take over that division

                      and again a fight with WINKY would be awesome if he beat Winky which is a BIG IF, he would surely go down as one off the greatest 4 sur
