Just read it on the BBC interactive that Johnson is going to be Calzaghe’s opponent on the 8th.
At what weight has not been decided yet.
;D ;D ;D ;DGreat news…I would have been happy to watch Joe KO a bum on the 8th but a fight with GJ is icing on the cake to an already great card. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Fucking awesome!!!
CC on me dude, now this is what im talking about, i think i am defintly going now i was deciding once the opponent was named, but this will be an awesome fight, with Calzaghe winning on a UD, What does this mean to Woods v Johnson??
To be honest i dont care, cant wait bring it on!!
8th of june of july?
I guess Calzaghe feels it’s time for his 0 to go.
Big fight for Calzaghe if it does go ahead. More dangerous than a fight with Tarver or Woods for less than half of the recognition.
If I was Joe I wouldnt want to fight Glen Johnson, so kudo’s him if he has the balls to take the job on.
I wouldnt say its a more dangerous fight than Tarver, but it is a great match up thats for sure.

Johnson’s comments.
The reason Calzaghe left it so late is becasue he wanted to fight at 168, is that to hard for the warrier to understand?? He was trying to find an opponent at 168, but he couldnt.
When they were meant to fight a few years ago I thought Johnson was made for Calzaghe and he’d (Calzaghe) look awesome beating him - ive certainly seen nothing to alter my view since then.
I agree with Bilbo…this is a much more dangerous fight than Tarver.
Johnson has shown a lot better stamina down the stretch then Tarver has of late.
I think that Joe Calzaghe would be stronger than Tarver at Light Heavy. Tarver looks bulky some times whereas Joe Calzaghe drys up tonnes to get to Super middle weight… did you see how much he filled out between the weigh in and the lacy bout? I look at him and think he is naturally about 180…
If Joe can pull this one out, I’ll give him more respect than I gave him for beating Lacy.
Glencoffe is a brilliant tacticion, look forward to it, does anyone know if it will be shown in
the states?
Great if it happens ;D
This is the first time I have heard johnson talking trash, this is going to be a better fight than it looks on paper. It has potential to be fight of the year, both johnson and calzaghe have unbelievable stamina and through a ton of punches.
what is the weight set at? 168? 175?
Is Johnson going to swarm Joe like he did Roy JJ?
. . . .He’l end up like Jeff Lacy
He wanted to pressure Joe but was on a survival mission after getting hit with so many shots . Glen has alot of experience but hes never faced a guy whos guna be throwing so many punches so often . At his age I dont think he’l take the pace. It will be a great fight and ive rated Glen for a while , hes an under rated fighter but Joe is going to give him the beating of his life IMO .
Calzaghe just signed with HBO I think, they were part of the discussion of who to be his opponent on july 8. It was why they were aiming for an American.
Awesome I am actually excited to see this one!!
