Re: The big fight Warren is talking about for Calzaghe has to be Winky if he wins!!
IMO its the winner of wright/taylor thats why he aint naming names...
First off i think calzaghe wudn't move up to fight RJJ 'coz i believe joe wants to make the 20 title defence bench mark.
Second off if they are thinking of an RJJ fight it wont be until 1 or 2 fights AFTER the september... a big win on lacy isn't enough to generate enough interest in Jc in the US, now a cracking win over wright/taylor would then pave the way for either a total unification with the winner of byer/kessler and then a final fight with RJJ followed be retirement.
I think thats his next three fights providing he keeps winning and his hands hold up. Order might change tho, RJJ could be second then he may go for the total unification.

Don't want to sound negative (actually I'm a moaning bastad so course I do :P) but I don't think Calzaghe will fight any big name American fighter next time around.
At best he'll get the winner of Woods Johnsonn early next year, maybe a fight with Carl Froch, which would be huge domestically in the meantime.
But as far getting another fight with a top American fighter (Johnson aside) there is no chance. Between Calzaghe's hand troubles and all the red tape and beaurocracy involved in negotiations I can't see a fight with Jones, Hopkins, Tarver, Taylor or Winky coming up.

I agree, but mostly because Calzaghe is unwilling to leave Wales and is known to pull out of fights..I mean how is Warren even announcing anything, is his hand all healed now?? If so what happened to the Johnson fight and how is any fighter supposed to count on a match with him coming off?
