Maybe the 7 lb jump will affect Calzaghe (like it did his English counterpart, Hatton) and I think Johnson will do better against Calzaghe since Johnson has been in a big fight against a huge name 4 or 5 times before as opposed to Lacy being in his first big fight when he fought Calzaghe.
Agreed. Joe's gonna be waaaaaaay to fast for Glen. Way too fast. I personally see this as a stepping stone to Jones jr or Tarver...provided that both of those two win their next fights.

Imagine if Jones make some impressive comeback by KOing Prince Baldi & then taking on Calzaghe & defeating him...I would never wish that to happen...but stranger things have come to pass.

Again...agreed.

I wouldn't say that Johnson is past it...because he has proven time & time again...that he's gotten old...but Calzaghe is a much better fighter defensively & tactically.
Thought you was a Jones fan, why wouldnt you want Roy to defeat Joe and go out with a bang?
Also I think this is going to be a tough, tough fight for Calzaghe. I will be surprised and impressed if he can beat Glen Johnson.
