In a perfect world I would like to see him fight the winner of Winky - BHop as well. That fight along with Kessler, Taylor and Dawson (who would have established himself by then) would be an awesome end to Calzaghe's career and means he would be a definate HOF!
Yea but he beat Lacy who was "a future star"...and now people just say Lacy was overrated. They would say the same about Dawson.
True...people are fickle!!! But the point here is that Calzaghe has dominated a division for over a decade! If he beats Kessler no one can dispute that. The point of beating Dawson is he then beats the best in the Lightheavy division IMO and therefore becomes a 2 weight champion. By the time Calzaghe has fought Kessler, Taylor and the winner of Winky-BHop - Dawson will have established himself if he continues as he is!

Two weight world champion. Wouldn't look bad on the record!
