Jr. was so poor in the first fight... which just leaves Kessler. It would be a good fight for Calzaghe to win as he will virtually unify the division, but how much interest will it generate outside of Europe? Not much I think. It could hardly be put into the superfight bracket. Just thinking outside the square slightly - with a long term view.... why not try to make a fight at light-heavy with Clinton Woods (which would have a lot of interest in the UK), whereby Calzaghe (assuming he won) would then achieve an ambition of becoming a two-weight champion plus would hold a respectable version of the world title to make a match up at light heavy with the likes of Tarver, Glen Johnstone (or even the aforementioned Roy Jones Jr. or Bernard Hopkins) all of whom can still sell tickets Stateside.
You talk alot of sence , i agree totally
