Finally...Calzaghe returns October 14! Who do you want him to face?

[Fenster]

Hey wack firstly let me give you a well deserved for failing to include Kessler, I agree entirely with his status as 'another fighter' :P

Bit suprised you missed out Manfredo though, I believe he's the truth but only time will tell.

Seriously though I would like to see him in with Ann wolf just kidding :P

I would love to see Calzaghe Froch although I have to say Froch is growing on me now and I'd like his run to go on a bit longer.

I don't know, there really isn't anyone available I don't think, Jones but he'd get killed. Tarver would probably want $30 million seeing as he is a bona fida hollywood movie star now so I don't really see a big fight for him.

Probably just a routine defense so as not to spoil his plans for 2007.

Yeah why waste his time fighting Roy Jones when he can make a "routine" defense against a no namer. Like Kabary Salem again. Salem did drop Calzaghe on his a**.

I would love to see Roy Jones get the chance, he deserve it. and i feel he has a good chance to win it.. This fight would be good money for both fighters.

Unfortunately MONEY is what seems to be stopping the fight happening - as in Roy wants too much

[ICB]

if he had 5 fights left this is who i would want him to fight not in any order roy jones bernard hopkins carl froch clinton woods and mikkel kessler that would be perfect for him or maybe put glen johnson in that list

Another battle of brittain could be set up by October.

Okay, Clinton Woods isnt such a big draw, i know. However i would still make for an exciting and marketable fight here in the U.K.

Probably the most realistic target.... Given the date scheduled.

If Clinton beats Johnson on Sept 2nd then fights Calzaghe on Oct 14th apart from it being a miracle it'll most defintely secure him 2nd place in the Sports personality of the year comp.

An RJJ fight or a Kessler fight would be god for his legacy,because remember,he is coming to the end of his great career so he cannot waste time on any prospects or unknowns,not at this stage.

I agree...I think Joe C is past fighting anyone that doesn't have a title though....anything short of unifying the 168 division or the lt hw for that matter would be seen as padding.....IMO of course....

Beats Calzaghe or fights him? Because Clinton beating Johnson this time round is anything but a Miracle... well with in his grasp.

Agree to fight Calzaghe 5 weeks after a title fight would be miracously stupid though :P

[Kessler-dk]

i would like to see Calzaghe in the ring with Mundine

because then will Snakey se that mundine is not so good

'Royal makes his return to the ring as "kevil"'



Anyway,
why is Joe wasting his time with a no namer? What if he hurts his hands again? How long is the intrest around JC going to last? He needs to hurry if he wants that big $$$ fight.

No

I too think Clinton can win this time. I assume Jim Boogie didn't realise Woods and Johnson were set to fight next month.

And yes If Woods beat both those guys on that timeline it would be akin to the Jesus man turning water into wine.

[Tito BHB]

i think roy or hopkins would be the best fights.. but roy wants to much, bernard may not come out of retirement even though hes shown signs of wanting to come backt to the game,

frankly i think tarver at light heavy would be a big fight a chance for joe to go big and a chance for tarver to redeem himself in a big fight, plus i'd buy tickets to see all of these men no doubt!! lol
but i dont think roy could drop to super middle and have a chance hes already lost his power since droping weight all that time ago and i dont believe he has it back!

[shza]

B-Hop won't come out unless the money's right, and in Manchester, I don't see the money being right. Tarver. Ditto. I'm sure Farnk knows Joe is on the final straight and will come up with a nice moneymaker for them both, whoever its against.

Why would this fight have to happen in Manchester. Hopkins-Calzaghe in Vegas. I mean, Hopkins has achieved far more in his career than Calzaghe--why would he be the one that would have to travel, especially if it meant less money?

Just a thought, but you reckon Winky could be persuaded to move up to 168 and fight him?

He seems to be stuck with nowhere else to go at 160 if he's determined not to fight Jermain again, and apparantly Margarito doesn't want to know at 154 lb.

Would be a great matchup, I'd like to see Winky get pummelled for 12 rounds again

Again? I don't think that's happened yet.

He seems to be stuck with nowhere else to go at 160 if he's determined not to fight Jermain again, and apparantly Margarito doesn't want to know at 154 lb.

He's said in recent interviews that that Jermain's people don't want to fight now (which is true--DiBella said that JT will take 2-3 fights before considering a rematch with Winky), but that a fight with Jermain will "definitely" happen again, because the fans want it.

Just a thought, but you reckon Winky could be persuaded to move up to 168 and fight him?

I'd call a fight against Calzaghe a toss-up, though Winky as a natural 154-pounder would be seriously handicapped against a 6-2 guy who's fought at 168 his whole career and could easily be fighting at LHW or even Cruiser. If they were the same size, Winky easy UD.

Actually Calzaghe is only 5ft 11 but I see that Winky is now fighting this autumn anyway so I guess we won't eve see this. Shame

Calzaghe by ko

Hes improved alot since that kessler fight, watch how he schooled danny green...i guy that was dominating beyer who your boy is fighting next. By the way, dont underestimate beyer...he is one crafty fighter and i wouldnt be surprised if he manages to pull an upset.
