Even though about 4 or 5 years ago, Calzaghe was saying he was struggling to make supermiddleweight, and that he wanted to move up to light heavyweight, but he seems to have overcome that. Personally, he's got unfinished business at SMW, with Taylor and Kessler to beat before he goes.Originally Posted by tysonbruno
At the bigger weight, it will be the first time really that he won't be the taller man against most opponents, and the harder hitters could give him more trouble. I think he beats Hopkins and Woods pretty well, zipping in and out and not getting caught. I reckon Tarver gets to made look even more of a fool than he did by Hopkins, and he should be able to get in and out often enough to beat Johnson. The ones that I would be concerned about would be Dawson, and I haven't seen enough of Erdei and Drews to pass judgement. But then again he'll pack on more muscle at light heavy, so could put his glass knuckles under more pressure, and they'd buckle even more often.
