It was confirmed in the British forum, by someone in the boxing industry, that Calzaghe has been shopping around for opponents.

Adam, those fighters hit no where near as hard as Green.
Bika imo is the hardest puncher he stepped inside the ring, only Sakio didn't know how to box.
Look no excuses, i believe like most there was a valid reason, Mundine beat him, i did say on the night that was Mundines finest hour, his signature win.
I would like to see it again still, but i wouldn't be disappointed if it didn't.
Definitely Eubank was a serious, serious puncher. Don't be fooled by the amount of decisions on his record - that was hesitancy to finish the job post-Watson, combined with a sparing, stamina-conserving style. But that overhand right of his was a very damaging punch.
Lacy, not sure. He definitely was a puncher to a degree, but since he's had shoulder trouble in his power arm, he's not been able to stop anybody. He was healthy for the Calzaghe fight, but how potent his punch was at that time will forever be a moot point.
Funny, though, how the one boxer who Calzaghe fought who you happen to concede WAS a big puncher, happens to be an Aussie...
Eubank was a tremedous puncher, Although he was getting on a bit when he faced Joe.
Bika isnt really a power puncher, He is physiclly strong but throws wide looping punches and lots of them.
I think Green would be the hardest puncher Joe has faced . Considering he is fighting at 80-84Kgs which is a hell of a lot bigger than Eubank fought at.

Didn't Kessler break his right hand early on in his fight against Calzaghe?

Byron Mitchell was a big puncher. He dropped Calzaghe with a beauty.

His hand wasn't 100% going into the fight. I don't think he broke it though. He had recurring issues with it and had an operation after the fight.

Mitchell is fighting Green's victim Otis Griffin on Friday for the USBA light heavyweight strap.

Green is absolute toilet. Joe wins every round.

If Calzaghe is making a comeback he had better lay off the grog and cocaine.
Speaking of toilets, are you from that country holding an election today where everybody loses?

Would this fight be at supermiddle, lightheavy or cruiserweight? Cruiserweight I imagine. So there'll be 2 non cruisers with one having been retired for 18 months, fighting for a title. Great

look wat rjj did to joe the the first round of their fight, if he had the same killer instinct of green then joe gets wiped out as green did to rjj. prob was rjj didnt want to finish the fight, he wanted to be flashy and was too cocky.
plus green has a load more power than rjj, so wat happens wen green lands one of those on joe?

You say "toilet" a lot. You probably go to public toilets for romance.
