    I wholeheartedly respect his decision. We as fans need to realize we need these guys to match up- it comes a point when no matter who's out there enough is enough. Joe knows what's going on with his body- I'd rather him cut short than fight too long.

    I would not of minded a second fight between hop and joe.

    I enjoyed the first fight and it was close so a second fight happening wouldn't be a bad idea.

    Calzaghe feels he won the last fight, and he isnt getting any younger himself. I understand where he's coming from when he says that. Not that Im nearly 37.

    I wouldnt mind seeing a rematch myself, because I think Calzaghe can do a better job than he did.

    I would also like to see Hopkins vs Calzaghe 2 but if it isn't to be it isn't to be anyway with a bit of look Jones will beat Calzaghe and we will get Hopkins vs Jones 2.

    My guess? Jones wouldn't fight Hopkins. His logic? "I beat Calzaghe who beat Hopkins who beat Tarver who beat Johnson" That avenges all my losses in one go, and proves that I am the greatest of all time".

    Calzaghe is the guy who is least likely to inflict physical damage. If he loses to Calzaghe, there will be an excuse. "I'm tired" probably.

    Calzaghe had adapted to Hopkins he is like the Borg man real ring and style smart.

    If Hopkins offered to fight him in Cardiff i dont think Joe would turn that down.

    Respect that he wants to go out at the top.But a rematch with Hopkins at the millenium stadium to end his career sounds good to me + it would be a good gesture to the fans to have your last fight at home.

    True i want to see this as Hopkins is the closest to beat him since Robin Reid i think it would do a lot for his legacy if he remtched Hopkins and beat him clear like a lot of top fighters who have a close fight then rematch them to prove they can do better.

    Calzaghe has never been big on rematches unless he was forced to.He had to go to Germany to fight Mario Viet that was only so he could keep his title.
