theres pacman,but i no u hate on that dude so u wont admit it. plus theres always another up and comin star in boxing. the torch is and will be forever passed down the line

Disappointed he never took on Chad Dawson or a couple other high profile Americans.

His record is a great one, but he had the potential to go even further, beat Joe Luis' record and cement himself as a legend in the sport.

He's basically obviously calculated the risk reward factor and opted to 'take the money' as many a millionaire contestent has said to Chris Tarrent.

I wanted him to take the risk and play for the million pound question though

I agree Joe Calzaghe missed a great chance to go down as good as

Don't take no notice of me im just in one of my sarcastic moods at the moment. I think Joe Calzaghe was a very good fighter, but he falls short of the title "Great" IMO.

When i watch him i never get the X-Factor feeling like i do, when i watch fighters like Pernell Whitaker, Floyd Mayweather, ETC. I think he should of took more risks early on in his career moving up in weight.

Overall he deserves alot of respect he did achieve alot, but i think he waited to long to step up too the plate. And his overall wins except for a few is mostly decent at best IMO.

Well, my sig pretty much tells it all about where I stand on Calzaghe as a fighter.

In honesty, it hasn't been the most gracious departure from the sport. The Roy Jones Jr he fought was a shadow of the great that went from Middleweight to Heavyweight world champion, and lacked the satisfaction of a truly great finale. Also, the war of words which simmered with Froch in the period between Froch beating Pascal and the retirement today hasn't been a highlight.

However, I think Calzaghe has had a sparkling career, and will go down in history as one of the greats, but history will look back at the fights that were made, and those that passed him by, and say that he was a very good champion.

Hopefully now he can go on and contribute in an ambassadorial role to British boxing, and help encourage those young fighters in Britain to go on and achieve. And from memory, Calzaghe Promotions has its first card this month too in Merthyr, so we'll see how that goes.

I think it's great news. I love to see fighters who has money in their pocket and all there marbles, just walk away.

its cool man no worrys. i think the taking risk thing early on in his career was maybe alot of what i said earlier,as in he didnt really get alot of exposure until after the lacy fight. i think earlier on in his career he was on alot of peoples radar,but they saw him as high risk low reward. as in they could lose to a relatively unknown for a shit payday, due to the lack of tv money. i think he was just a victim of curcumstance. for me he came good in the end thru hard graft. to me hes an all time great, unbeaten in 11 years. i think he could of easily of got fed up of the game and turned his back on it. but he kept marching on
