Im not too fussed about Jermaine Talyor in anyway so id rather see Joe move up and have a ravin domestic with Woods.
Maybe then move on to a young blood like Dawson just for the fun of it
That would be super

Two big things people have slagged calzaghe of is not fighting 'top fighters' and only fighting at home (even tho most top americans these days don't leave the states lol)
So When calzaghe fights kessler he would of provem imo that he has fought the best the SMW has had to offer who had the balls to step in the ring with him, he beats kessler he beats a top name imo, he may not be top 10 p4p but he is top 20 imo, calzaghe is top 10 and quite afew people think they are very closed matched or even kessler wins... so he has to be close to the top 10.
He goes to the states and beats taylor - will shut people up who claim he is a home town boy, F*** taylor is ranked sumin like 4 in the p4p list and a massive Mw, alway said it is hard for him to make MW so 8 pounds higher should be NOTHING to him, be a another top name in the states!
Let me say this…if Calzaghe beats Kessler then he legacy is sealed, IWO.
People are far FAR too harsh on Calzaghe’s record & his abilities. While I am disgusted at his choice of opposition after beating the dogshit outta Lacy…his record prior is much more sound than many would credit it.
The men that he defeated were game fighters…just because they weren’t known top billers doesn’t make it wrong. Calzaghe has done the same thing that fighters like Jones jr & Hopkins & Mayweather jr have done…& that’s stayed where the money is at & not needed to travel for his matches.
As far as who he needs to face? I still say no one.
No one other than either Hopkins, Jones jr, Mundine, Johnson, or maybe Woods…not Dawson though.
We can’t expect Joe to just keep on proving himself at this stage of his career. He’s gone through some tuff fights & he’s gutted out some wins & he continuously injures his hands…let the man have his day & move on.
Never beg a 40 dollar hooker...specially after she's just turned down your mom's credit card!!
