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.
This is the stuff that makes me despise Calzaghe. His politics. Not making any excuses for Lacy's loss but he made Lacy come to England and then delayed the fight because of a broken hand, a broken hand in which he never xrays of and still made him come to England. Now he's negotiating a fight scheduled to take place 2 months from now AND demands a light heavy to drop in weight. It's such BS but Johnson will fight and he will be game, won't be enough to vanquish Calzaghe though.
