    Zsolt Erdei, the WBO and linear champion.

    Calzaghe should fight him next, because he is undefeated, holds the WBO title and is the linear titlist.

    It would give Calzaghe (if he won) the linear title, ring title and WBO title. It would complete the job at 175lbs.

    The fight should be in Wales.

    :good

    Many people feel that Erdei has the lineage...because he beat Gonzalez who beat DM....but I honestly think any claim that he once had has been revoked as a result of his utterly terrible competition in recent years...

    A fight with Carl Froch would be good. Kessler and Hopkins is a risk and the rest ain't worth a wank.

    Exactly the same thing that Calzaghe did, Branco Sobot, Will McIntyre, Rick Thornberry anyone?

    I stand by Erdei, the WBO would almost certainly make it a mandatory for Erdei as Calzaghe was the super champion at 168lbs.
    Tarver, Johnson, Taylor, Hopkins rematch, nah!

    Bhop rematch for me. I thought Joe won clearly enough frst time up but Bernard has since dealt with Pavlik comfortably, that earns him another go in my book.

    I've no appetite for a Dawson fight.

    If Joe beats Bernard again and Froch has claimed the WBC strap, and possibly defended, then that would be a fantastic fight. But right now, Froch franly doesn't deserve it, much as it's a fight I'd like to see.

    There was no lineage at 168, and Calzaghe faced the likes of Sheika, Woodhall, Brewer and Reid during the early part of his reign....far more impressive than most of the fighters that Erdei has faced with the exception of perhaps, Garay.

    I think Dariusz Michalczewski would have knocked Calzaghe out.

    Doubt it. He may have won, but he ain't stopping JC. I really rate DM, a fantastic fighter for sure.
