What a way to repay your fans that the bow out with a legitimate win over an ATG & Living Legend BUT
Calzaghe took the cowards way out & instead retired to a life of drink & debauchery.
In my opinion Calzaghe KNEW he could not legitimately beat Hopkins
Right thats why he took the fight the first time, he was less likely to get a decision away from home so why would he be scared of fighting hopkins at home? Some people do talk chit!

Joe wasnt exactly in his prime either for this fight.
