Good point Bilbo i did say that you are correct, i think Calzaghe is a good few levels ahead of Manfredo in terms of skill and i also think Eastman would beat him maybe not after we saw his level against Miranda, but a couple of years ago defintly Eastman would be to good for "Contender boy" as i put it!!

But looking at the posotives over the negatives this fight will be good for Clazaghe because of Manfredo's exposure and his well known status in the States, that is the only reason i would take this fight, as this would increase Calzaghes stock in the States and possibly give him more negotiating powers against your Tarvers and RJJ.

I think it will be a total shutout for Calzaghe but this fight would make better sense than a guy ranked say 3/4 at 168 but who the Americans dont know.

It's more the exposure value rather than the skill level of " Contender Boy "
