    One of the fighters Calzaghe didnt get involved with for too long.

    Calzaghe wins - I think quite easily.

    Calzaghe would just outbox him. He certainly wouldn't get a KO and Johnson might catch him once and knock him down, but other than that Joe would win a wide UD.

    Calzaghe wins this one wide. He'd outfight Johnson end to end. It most likely goes to the cards.

    Not sure to be honest. I think Joe's speed would cause some problems. A good case can be made for either, although I think at 175 it might favor Johnson some.

    ****ed up thing is, we could have had the actual fight if Joe C didn't puss out twice...

    Calzaghe wins handily. His speed of hand and foot, awkward style and workrate would be too much for Johnson.

    It would be more one-sided than the Dawson re-match.

    Joe C should have rescheduled after pulling out due to injuries twice. Would have been a excellent scrap.

    At the time I gave Johnson a very very live chance...and I stand by that.

    I think he would have given Joe hell...though in a losing effort.

    Well Said. But who would win...to me, that's not the real issue. I think that everyone is well aware that Glen Johnson will fight anyone, anywhere at anytime. Old Fighters, Young Fighters, Prime Fighters in their Back-yard...doesn't ****ing matter. In Fact, Glen Johnson just dropped to 168lbs (a weight he hasn't fought at since 2000) just to participate in the "Super 6" in a chance to face the best 168lbs fighters in the world and is getting paid "Peanuts" to do so.

    Calzaghe, Warren and their fans in ESB have went on & on about the different reasons why Jones & Hopkins never happened earlier in their careers...But the excuses they have given why Calzaghe never fought Johnson is straight BULL****!!!! Johnson would not haggle over venue nor money...STRAIGHT BULL****!!!
