Yeah, that's what I thought as well, but this appears to have different quotes from him than what I remember him saying, so I thought that maybe he had clarified this later on
IMHO Calzaghe doesnt want to rematch Hopkins because he knows he was very lucky to get a SD win in their first fight. He's scared his 0 will go along with his legacy. BUT. What Calzaghe doesnt realise is his legacy is stained until he does LEGITIMATELY beat Bernard Hopkins
I dont think Joe wants to give Hopkins a return because he wasnt gracious in defeat the 1st and and theres everything to lose and nothing to gain in fighting him again . If he lost Im sure Joe would be chasing a return but because he won then the best way to treat someone he doesnt like would be to not give him the opportunity to fgain revenge in a return

Joe wont fight Hopkins again and Hopkins wont retire. Nard should fight Dawson instead and teh winner will a stronger case on calling Joe out . I think we may see Joe just 1 more time in Cardiff because if he was going to retire we'd know by now.
