NEW WORD ON CALZAGHE VS JOHNSON

Calzaghe-Johnson close!

http://www.fightnews.com/fightnews_2...yeKKSzoBC.html

No July 8 opponent yet for Joe Calzaghe, but former IBF light heavyweight champion Glenn Johnson is said to be "in the frame." No contracts have been signed yet. Johnson would drop down to Calzaghe's super middleweight division for the fight.

I see this as a huge disadvantage for Johnson having to drop to 168...but you gotta go where the money is.

Calzaghe by a hard fought decision...maybe even a late round TKO...depending on the state of Johnson.

Yeah I originally said Johnson, but if it's at 168 I agree Calzaghe
should be able to take him at that weight. Still think we'll see some phenomenal rounds

[Bomp]

I really want this fight to come off now, any other opponent that has been mentioned would be a huge anti-climax IMO.
I'm a big JC fan, but I wouldn't mind him agreeing to a catch weight or something just to guarantee this fight happening.

Agreed.

Johnson, IWO, has looked very good lately.

I was pretty impressed with him against Hall, Tarver, Jones, & Jones jr. He'll give Joe some fits...but in the end...I just believe that Joe can take him out.

[MRMANICK]

It would be dumb for johnson to move down. Not for joe. IMO he ain't worth it.

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

I AGREE BUT IT WILL BE A GOOD FIGHT... STUPID FOR GLEN

[raleights]

Johnson should take whatever money he can get, seeing as he'll never be a main attraction

[MRMANICK]

Johnson should take whatever money he can get, seeing as he'll never be a main attraction

And joe will be. Put him on ppv right now and see how much he makes.

[raleights]

Joe really is a fool for not coming over here sooner, with his style he'd of made so much money in America...

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

A BOATLOAD... FAST, FLASHY, AND A PACE THAT WOULD MAKE THE INDY 500 DRIVERS JELIOUSE

Calzaghe beats johnson convincingly on points .but dont expect to see the same Joe as you did against lacy ,this is just his homecoming fight ,the main event will be some time in november in which he will be fighting i think tarver or the winner of taylor/wright bout

Joe better not look at this as a stepping stone fight!!
Johnson may not be the top tier, but he has always been the stepping stone guy,
AND has caused more than a few upsets!!

He still hasn't.They call it a home coming fight but where did he go?

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

HE WENT 17 MILES AWAY TO MEN ARENA... REDICULOUS... HE IS THROWING MONEY AND WOULDBE FANS OUT THE WINDOW BE BEING "HOMESICK JOE"

[cymru_am_byth]

take your point into account , but at the end of the day he s the champ has been for 9 years hes proven why should he have to fight in the US where hes not happy .if there s a better fighter out there then they need to take the title from him not the other way around
