        I think Winky would be the most difficult fight out there for him style-wise, but he did look like he was feeling Taylor's strength and power so I'm not sure how he'd cope with Calzaghe's.

        Froch would be an easy night's work but Glen Johnson would make him work hard for it, as would Kessler.

            i beleive calzaghe will retire undefeated
            he should fight kessler next and then the winner of johnson/woods to become a 2 wieght undefeated champion and then retire
            but if he can get a fight with jones jr he should take that

              After the lacy fight I went and watched several of his other fight's and I was impressed, but if he retires with those being his final fight's I will always wonder exactly HOW good he was. I understand he was milking the hometown thing but I feel like he's not a gimmick and could've bettered his legacy and made good money also in the process. I mean here in the US ppl get on RJJ for some of his fight's or PBF etc or anybody that talented. I believe even with a few losses he would've had more big named wins on his resumee and got more respect universally in the long run. He is very good so I'm not knocking him just pointing out unbiasedly the same thing's ppl make about other fighter's of his talent!

                I think the only guy that MIGHT beat him is Mikkel Kessler. I think once he beats Beyer then Joe and Kessler should get it on to unite all 4 belts. I think Joe would win but it would be a close, possibly split, decision. Apart from that - Tarver? Please. Tarver would get absolutely beaten out of sight. Johnson might give him a row but would lose, Bute - not a cat in Hell's chance.
