Calzaghe might not retire!

[BIG H]

I think he should quit and leave with his '0' in tact .You know what, for about 10 seconds in one of the rounds yesterday Jones started popping out some really fast stiff jabs which kept Calzaghe at distance. I would really love to see him fight somebody that would do that all night and see how he adapts.

[ICB]

He for certain should retire or one of these new upcoming fighters, could take that 0 away from him. I think Chad Dawson has a good chance, although he goes into a shell at times. He still has alot of attributes to give Joe Calzaghe fits.

[NUCLEAR BULL]

if he does fight it wont be against chad dawson, calzaghe doesn't fight unbeaten champions........ i know calzghes way of thinking i've followed him since the 90's, he only fought reid after reid was past his best and beaten handly by an old man, he only fought woodhall after he was ko'd.................... don't be suprise if NOW AFTER HE'S LOST SO ROUNDLY HE TAKES A FIGHT WITH PAVLIK, THE SAME PAVLIK HE SAID WASN'T IN HIS LEAGUE, he'lldress like he always does with " the fans want me to fight him so i will " he never fought sven ottka, had ottka lost he would have straight away fought him.....he only fights guys who are past there best and have lost.........OR IF THERE UNBEATEN THEY ARE 1 DIMENTIONAL STAND INFRONT OF YOU FIGHTERS........... FAIR DUES KESSLER IS A GOOD FIGHTER BUT HE'S A BASIC STAND UP 1 DIMENTIONAL TYPE OF FIGHTER

Exactly! Glad to know there are other people on this board who know what Calzaghe is about. Good point on Kessler as well. He is a solid fighter...but he is stiff and conservative. That being said...he is the only noted, PRIME fighter Calzaghe has fought. Hell of a resume

[El Kabong]

I'm not saying I agree with you or anything but just as a point Ottke didn't want to leave Germany to fight anybody (much as up until recently Joe never wanted to leave England to fight anybody).

Calzaghe had lots of options earlier in his career to make a larger legacy for himself but so did RJJ, Eubank, Benn, Collins, Toney, Ottke, Michalczewski and Hopkins.

Calzaghe is a great fighter...love it or hate it. I want him to continue fighting because I have a feeling someday he's going to get sparked out cold much like RJJ did.

Kessler tried it, Hopkins tried it, Jones tried it, Joe can outwork them all.

Kessler did, but Hopkins and Jones didn't for more than spurts. Whether Calzaghe's offence prevented them or what I don't know

[The Rela]

He should retire whilst at the top.

[awdleyfuturehalloffamer]

He should try to beat dawson first to get that cherry on top. If he doesn't beat dawson, so what, the 0 means nothing unless you crush all doubt about your record. Calzaghe beat two old past their prime fighters in a row. If he doesn't get a young hungry near prime lion on his resume now, he will forever hear people discredit him for fighting grampas.

[eagleskins]

No one in the game even gives Joe a fight. But, I think he should fight Hopkins again just to cement his legacy.

Say Joe fights Dawson and beats him and (I dont think this has any chance of happening but for the purposes of my point ill say it) Froch beats Kessler, attention will turn to froch.

It doesnt matter because Joe doesnt have a buff body that some of the gay boys on here can drool over like they did Lacy before his fight with Joe or Kesslers body and tattoo, or throw a big eye catching hay maker, Joe will never get recognition by some because he doesnt look or fight like they would want.

Joe can beat anyone and hurts some "fans" who actually cry after their fighter gets beat

There will always be another hope that can maybe give Joe a fight but until someone like that comes along Joe should retire because there are no big superstar threats out there, even Dawson for all his qualitys couldnt be made a favourite over Joe, so it wouldnt be very marketable.

Pavlik was seen as a wreaking machine who had a chance with his power, Dawson doesnt have that draw.
