Joe decimated him,no one can deny Calzaghe's skills. If he was so mediocre,he would not have been champ for so long,nor would he have wrecked Lacy.

Seriously,if he beats Mikkel,I don't want to hear this over rated bs anymore!
Sorry that was over the top and I couldnt convey my points properly... Joe isint ordinary he is an underachiever someone who is content with mediocre accomploshments and that is the source of frustration, you have to put a revolver in his mouth to get him to step up. the last few years are indicitive of that FACT... If Joe just sucked and was overachieving and on a good run Like Baldomir was, and then when we compared his performances in relation to skill I wouldnt fault Joe one bit since he exceeded talent and expectaion but its not the case is it. Talent like Joes should be held to a higher standard and ambition level.
The problem is JT is that there was no one else for Calzaghe to fight he has beaten everyone there was to beat.
Agreed Ice.

Who else can he face...other than moving up & fighting Hopkins.

He made offers to both Hopkins & Jones jr when there shouldn't have been a shot on the table to RJJ & Jones balked at it...& that was when Jones was down & out.

I imagine that if he beats Kessler, the Hopkins fight happens.

He made an offer to Taylor...Taylor balked at a career highest amount. I'll bet Taylor ends up wanting it after his last fight.
