It's easier for me to make Middle than Light Middle, but I'm at my optimum at Light Middle.
Just because he's more comfortable making the weight does not necessarily mean that he will perform better.
Well as soon as my injury heals im going to try Middleweight because i walk around at that weight so i'll let you know how that goes. I don't think the weight had anything to do with it personally, i never thought Calzaghe had much flexibility in the upper body as for his movement i don't think his movement was too bad.

I think it was mostly age catching up to Calzaghe plus a bad style match up, Calzaghe's defense is leaky though and he has always had those problems its just he hasn't ever really fought against a good solid counter puncher before who could take advantage of it, especially when Calzaghe throws those flurries wide he leaves himself open for a straight shot right down the pipe, thats why he was floored by Salem for that exact reason.
