Is the Woods-Calzaghe fight being mooted now in case Joe comes unstuck? If Clinton wins I'd expect the fight to still go ahead (a la Collins-Benn) and Joe still then can go out as a two weight champ.
I can think of no other reason that the fight has already been provisionally set up.
Is the Woods fight security in case Joe loses?
I disagree with you there. I'm still very unsure as to what fight Joe will end on. He obviously wants the Pavlik fight the most, because Pavlik's style is absolutely made for him. The Jones Jr fight might happen because it will make more money?STP wrote:I don't think Calzaghe will fight again if he loses. Too mentally weak etc.
I don't think Calzaghe wants to fight Woods, purely because he will earn more money in the States. So I guess I agree, the Woods fight is just a backup in case he loses.
Although in all honesty I'm not sure I'm talking complete sense.

No, it's a massive British fight that can get American money if both Joe and Clinton win in America. It's simple.deadpan wrote:Is the Woods-Calzaghe fight being mooted now in case Joe comes unstuck?

Is Pavlik really megafight material yet? Methinks he's not found his full audience yet.
Don't think Joe fights on after a defeat.
