Would Calzaghe be going for Dawson's Lightheavyweight title? If so, he's not endangering his Super-Middleweight belt. He'd be fighting a guy who's a boxer, not a big bomber... it's a payday, plus another belt added to the trophy case. If he loses a decision, it wouldn't affect his standing as the Super-Middleweight champ. Although, having two undefeated fighters putting their records on the line looks a lot nicer on paper.

I think it's a decent risk, if they're that intent on getting another title. Winning that fight might be a lot easier before a fight with Kessler, than after. Because if he adds the Lt. Heavyweight title to his name, his final match could be another big money fight with a Winky Wright or Bernard Hopkins.

I'm just guessing how they might be thinking.
