    Who beats Calzaghe at 175? Here's 7 fighters that certainly have a chance, some a better chance than others. Your thoughts mates:think

    Bernard Hopkins
    Clinton Woods
    Glen Johnson
    Antonio Tarver
    Roy Jones Jr
    Chad Dawson
    Adrian Diaconu

    Hopkins....thats it.

    Dawson has the skills, but is still waaaay too green to do it.

    out of the list i can only see hoppy but he would have to headbutt, dirty fighting to open up a cut to give him a chance

    Dawson is the only one who can beat Calzaghe.

    I can't vote because you forgot to put the option : "none of the above".

    "None of them." LOL! Then there's no reason for Calzaghe not to take Hopkins up on his offer, right?

    Of course not, I believe the fight will happen. I cant' see popkins ducking Joe again (how stupid would he look) and Joe is certainly not ducking him.

    They're just trying to get the best deal possible at the moment and when it happens Calzaghe retires popkins :good

    none of the above at this current time... Prime RJJ would have his way with him imo, but that's about it... so agree with most of the other posters

    "none of them"

    You guys are cracking me up with all this "ducking" nonsense. I admit Calzaghe is the man at 168. However I don't believe he would be the man at 175. Given your earlier statement, there's no reason for Calzaghe to linger around at 168 if you all believe the current crop of Lt. Heavy's aren't a threat to Calzaghe.

    BTW, after the Kessler fight, Calzaghe said he wants to fight in the states. My question to you is what's the hold up?
