I voted Calzaghe by decision because (of late) I've been really impressed by Johnson's determination & output & I think that he'll gut it out heart & soul to the finish...I just don't think that it'd be enough.

This is sad for me. I can't pick against Calzaghe...and I predict that he is about to take out another one of my favorite fighters. I just think that Calzaghe, is to fast and to sharp for Johnson right now. Johnson is a straight ahead fighter and Calzaghe fairs well against straight ahead fighters. Maybe Johnson can win though. Maybe the 7 lb jump will affect Calzaghe (like it did his English counterpart, Hatton) and I think Johnson will do better against Calzaghe since Johnson has been in a big fight against a huge name 4 or 5 times before as opposed to Lacy being in his first big fight when he fought Calzaghe.
I'm rootin for Johnson, I just don't think he has the tools at this point of his career to get the job done.
And no way in hell Calzaghe jumps 7 pounds and knocks out iron chinned Johnson. No way. I would take that to the bank.
Is this fight at 168 or 175? boxrec is showing the WBO and IBF SMW belts on the line. IF that is right Calzaghe by UD. If it is at 175 still Calzaghe but by a closer margin. Either weight Joe outboxes Johnson.

Agreed. Joe's gonna be waaaaaaay to fast for Glen. Way too fast. I personally see this as a stepping stone to Jones jr or Tarver...provided that both of those two win their next fights.Originally Posted by SecondRoundKO
Imagine if Jones make some impressive comeback by KOing Prince Baldi & then taking on Calzaghe & defeating him...I would never wish that to happen...but stranger things have come to pass.
Again...agreed.Originally Posted by SecondRoundKO
I wouldn't say that Johnson is past it...because he has proven time & time again...that he's gotten old...but Calzaghe is a much better fighter defensively & tactically.

The last that I read it was at a catch weight.Originally Posted by TyBuff
That's a good question TB.
One that I can't answer right now...I was hoping that it was at 175.

I think Jones hits harder and has faster hands then Calzaghe
Maybe in the late 90's & the early 2's...but not anymore babe...not anymore.Originally Posted by Starr

Isn't that ironic... That Glen Johnson is a stepping stone to those men... At least Jones Jr... He Koed him and won every round on the way to it... This should be seen as a tough challenge for Calzaghe and Im glad he's taking it.. I think this is the hardest opponent out there that Calzaghe will face, because Hopkins is retiring after he beats Tarver and noone will want to see him against Calzaghe then.Originally Posted by wacko3205
so you're telling me Calzaghe is faster and hits harder then Jones hit Johnson in their fight?Originally Posted by wacko3205
I voted calzaghe and i think he will win assuming that his hand does not give out
Yes. Calzaghe will be faster than Jones was against Glen Johnson...hands down.Originally Posted by Starr
Now...if your'e trying to be crafty & get me...like I know you are...then NO...Calzaghe will not be as fast as Jones was against the other two Johnsons that he beat...now...go try & milk somebody else SSSP.

Reggie Johnson & Stephan Johnson that is.Originally Posted by wacko3205

Calzaghe peaked with the Lacy win. No where else to go but down. And down he will in the Johnson fight. Calzaghe hit Lacy at will and couldn't drop him until the end. When Lacy was dead tired. His punches will have no affect on the heavier, rock jawed Johnson.
