He says in the article about maybe a fight in future, but who seriously expects him to fight on past the end of the year?

To me it sounds like his desire has gone and he just wants one last payday, and that all important big name on his resume!

I like Calzaghe, and was believing he's starting to do what he should of many years ago and take on the best over in the States. But this seems like the easier option.

I understand his reasoning. He'll get more money and not get his face mashed in in the process.
