1) Calzaghe wins and he's a two-weight world champion.
2) He wins, then his bout with Hopkins is a clash of two light-heavyweight world champions.
3) Woods gets to make a lot of money, and if he wins it would significantly boost his flagging career.
4) A springtime fight would be ideal for Calzaghe time-wise to let him have time to prepare for the summer super-fight.

As for Woods, he did do enough to beat Johnson in their last time out in my opinion, just, and although he's not been in big-name fights since, his IBF belt still carries some kudos, and I think it would have benefits for both fighters.
I actually agree with this! This would be a nice senario...but I can't see B-Hop fighting Calzaghe...coz as I stated before...he is a pussy!!

But I can't help but thinking that Calzaghe would get something out of fighting Dawson before his retirement. IMO Dawson is very talented and young and could go on to be a big player...but if Calzaghe beats him it would look like a grat scalp on his record!!!
