OK just watched the fight

Good assessment Saddo pretty much exactly how I felt about it.

I thought it was an awesome fight, but then I love Joe Calzaghe so seeing him in full swing, showboating and whupping a legend's ass is about as good as it gets for me.

I'm worried about Joe though. I mean that knockdown clearly hurt Calzaghe and even though he came back to dominate there's surely only so many times he can get away with that.

He's fought two legends in Hopkins and Jones and been decked in the first by both of them. If he would have had Amir Khan's punch resistance I think it's fair to say he the fight would have been all over after that knockdown and the oxygen and smelling salts would have been needed.

If he fights on he's going to be fighting guys, in Dawson, Froch, Pavlik etc (I'm guessing those are possible opponents) who might be much less forgiving if they catch him then Hopkins and Jones were.

I'd love to see him beat Marciano's record and retire 50-0 but it seems like with each passing fight he's giving us more and more scares.

I'd love to see him go on to beat Dawson, maybe rematch Hopkins, then fight Froch and finish with whoever to beat the record.

But it's a big big ask of Joe.

He may well decide to call it a day and you really couldn't blame him.

I really Dawson as the only meaningful fight for him now though. Forget Hopkins you won, it was close but you got the decision move on.

The only thing he hasn't done now is unified the light heavyweight division. If he beats Dawson Calzaghe would be THE man at 175, the Ring champ in that weight class and he can lay claim to completely dominating two weight classes, beating everyone there was to fight in both divisions.

THAT'S the best reason for fighting Dawson imo and would be a worthy way to end a career,
