    But who is the best fighter out there after Kessler? The rest of 168 is simply a bunch of contenders. Bute/Mundine/Froch/Berrio have nothing to offer JC at this stage of his career.

    Whereas if he moved to 175 he could face the winner of BHOP/Winky, Dawson or Woods. Dawson would be the hardest of any of those.

    I think I agree. Dawson is the man for Calzaghe after Kessler. Because he is probably the best.

    A victory over Dawson is worth nothing though, basically because he lost to Calzaghe or he was too green. The perfect scenario for Calzaghe legacy wise is Winky hammering Hopkins then Calzaghe hammering Winky.

    He said this about 3 years ago after his bout with David Telesco fell through.Il believe it when i see it.This guy is nothing more than hot air.At 35 im not sure what he expects to achieve when his already wasted the best part of decade pissing to wind in Wales.

    Calzaghe plans to go to LHW since ... hmm ... 20 years?

    Pavlik, Taylor, Hopkins, Wright ... they will come to SMW. It would be dump to switch to LHW and miss those paydays.
