    Yes... I would read into this that Bad Blood thinks that Johnson is not as good as all of Calzaghe's victims. :huh Seems slightly contradictory

    Calzaghe would destroy Glenn Johnson, Joe is way to quick for the plodding Johnson. Glenn is a solid fighter but not world class, he just makes BHOP's record look a little more glossy because he stopped him. Calzaghe would box circles around Johnson, if you lay on him Johnson is good but if you move (like
    Calzaghe) he is in big trouble. If he didn't KO Roy Jones no body would know who the hell Glenn Johnson is.

    for his legacy, the biggest fight is kessler, the no 1 undefeated challenger in his division, i think if he takes on winky or hopkins calzaghe has a better chance of winning compared to taking on kessler.

    and why not turn to mundine the no 3 in his division, it would be another belt for him

    You keep making your self look like a moron - Hans Henrik Palm has garantied that he would make the fight under Palle's terms if needed - Hans Henrik Palm who just bought a tower of the national arena (Parken) for 24 million $ - I'm fairly sure he can come up with 5,5M :)

    Palle's offer stil stands - it's Warren that can't decide - so stop with the down right lies!

    I doubt very much that Calzaghe can find a fight anywhere that will pay him 5,5M - if he wants Hopkins/Wright/Taylor/Pavlik, then he will have to take a paycut... And I doubt he will want to do that.

    It must be a bit irritating for Calzaghe that young Hatton is now making twice what Calzaghe will ever make - mainly because he broke with Warren and took the chance in the US - build a name and now people wants him to fight Mayweather...

    It's Joe's own fault, he should have realized years ago that Warren can't get the big fights signed.

    Kessler is the most important fight right now for Calzaghe's legacy

    Damn right! This is because it is the only fight that can redeem Joe.

    No, a career of "nobodies" and "who's that?" while his contemporaries forge greatness leaves Joe with a stellar career.

    If the supernatural puts these two gents in the ring, I'll have full respect.:deal

    I grew weary of waiting for Joe C to make a statement. It's ridiculous he never fought Beyer or Ottke, regardless of who's fault it was. Fights with Woods and Johnson both fell apart as well. Certainly you cannot be completely satisfied with Joe's career to this point.

    Joe should have realised a long time ago he needed to step up his resume of talent. How he thought that Manfredo fight would go down amazes me. The worst thing was when Manfredo got in the ring he looked like a child. Too bad Frank Warren continues to massage his ego while prostituting hi for all the money he can get.
