    Smile Letter from Glenn Johnson to Calzaghe

    Dear Joe,
    Congratulations on your win over Roy Jones last Saturday night. I'm happy to see that you're finally getting some overdue credit, and now that you've accomplished what you wanted to against Jones and Bernard Hopkins, I think it's time for you and I to settle some unfinished business.
    I'm sure you remember, but if you don't, you previously agreed to fight me three times in the past, yet all three times you pulled out of the fight due to injury and we never had the opportunity to give the fans the fight they were all waiting to see.
    Well, now is the time to make up for all of that, to finally agree to fight me. You've done a lot in your career, but for you to truly cement your legacy, you know we must fight.
    I'm well aware that the name Chad Dawson has been tossed around, but I already beat him in the ring and the only people who didn't know it were the judges who rendered the most controversial decision of 2008. In fact, 80 percent of the viewers watching the fight on Showtime felt that I won. But the fans know, Dawson knows, and you know who won that fight.
    So fighting Dawson serves no purpose other than giving him a big payday. To truly prove yourself as the best fighter in the world, pound for pound, fight me, the man who knocked out a prime Roy Jones and beat Antonio Tarver, two accomplishments you can't claim.
    We both know that there is a lot more money for you to make if you fight me.
    You know who I am Joe, and my resume speaks for itself. Let's do this, not only for our legacies, but for the fans.
    I have been to England three times. I won the World Title there. Your fans know me, all of England knows me. Nobody knows who Chad Dawson is!
    Any time you want, I would love to fight you in Wales. I will be there as soon as you invite me.
    Respectfully,
    "The Road Warrior" Glen Johnson

    It would be a decent fight, but I think Calzaghe is too good for him though. I would certainly prefer it to a Hopkins rematch.

    My only concern is that Calzaghe might break his hand on Johnsons head!

    And I think Johnson actually did enough to get the nod against Dawson and deserves a rematch.

    He beat a prime Roy did he?

    That Roy was probably the worst version that ever entered a ring.

    This fight would be the nuts!!

    Im not sure if it does anything for Joes legacy but it would be a great fight.
    It'd give fight fans a better idea of how Calzaghe measures up to Dawson too!

    Johnson stands a great chance against calzhage as he too has a great workrate and chin! the major difference is however Calzhage is able to change his tatics mid fight Johnson isn't and that is what lost him the dawson fight for me.

    When Dawson started boxing Johnson didn't know what to do.
