Calzaghe's next opponent Allan Green

[SimonH]

This should be another white wash for Joe. Green will keep it closer than the Lacy/Calzaghe fight, by that I mean he may win a round or two.

COME ON JOE!!!! GET A REAL OPPONENT!!! FIGHT SOMEBODY THAT IS UP TO THE CHALLENGE!!!!

If that person is not at 168 then move up and find them. Everybody knows he is the man at 168, why is he bothering to fight people like this. No offense to Green, but he is not there yet.

This is just disappointing. After the Lacy fight I am expecting better things from him.

At the end of the day if it is Green; Calzaghe is making top money, for minimum risk. Everyone is a winner, no one wants Calzaghe's home comming to fall flat because of a tough fight.

The fans at the Millennium Stadium, will not care if Joe wins 60 seconds, indeed they will love it.

But isn't fighting an unbeaten figther who is little known a big potential risk?

I mean sure Calzaghe will probably kick his a** but Green may just turn out to be a world beater, just he's an unknown quantity right now.

At least a fighting against a known opponent you are aware of what you are coming up against.

Of course you have a very good point. It is true, whenever you step in that ring, you never know what could happen, hence the reason I like the sport.

But you have to take calculated risks, and (for a fighter at Calzaghe's level), this is a relatively low risk fight, with a big pay day; if it happens.
