Calzaghe does deserve the benefits of money and home advantage as P4P ranked fighter and long time champion though...
This is really wierd saying this, but I totally agree with you miles.

For me personally I would like to see 50/50 split and neutral grounds. But based on the fact that Calzaghe IS the longer reigning champ he has cards to pull (Hometown advantage and bigger purse).

I also think it would be a very competitive fight, but still one that Joe would win. Not to discount Kessler, he has the best shot at taking out Joe of any SMW. My pick Calzaghe UD 7 rounds to 5
