Joe Calzaghe Says - "I Am Not Thinking About Boxing"

calz should fight dawson to silence his critics.

That could be true... Either that or.... Calzaghe's fans have multiple accounts maybe that's why. I rather have one of these :alucard: and one account than a dozen. Like green means **** around these parts. On Calzaghe, he *****, but he's smart. Retiring before you get brain damaged? Good idea, but no one can claim anything about him being great. Great fighters don't fight 40 year olds, never, not even when they are old. For God's sake look at Mayweather, even him had the decency of picking a p4p younger and a real champion for his last fight, Ali also did it, Lewis? He picked Vitali Klitschko who also ended up being a champion. Basically the guy is unproven. Even his fans can say "Joe was great" anyone can just say "how so?" and they will be silent or recur to cursing. At 26, 11 younger than Zaghe, chad dawson already has a resume almost as good. Adamek, Glen Jonhson, Tarver, the last two the people who first beat Roy Jones, a way better version than Joe beat. Joe Calzaghe has the credit for beating 2 prospect level fighters in Lacy and Kessler and a tough veteran in Bernard. The rest of it is simply stupid and a waste of time for him. But it still sounds to me like people are sleeping somewhere, look, basicly what a lot of people are complaining about is that Joe have only beaten old "washed up" fighters. But truth be told that Mikkel Kessler and Jeff Lacy were both undefeated champions and very promising, so I can't see why these have suddenly been forgotten. "They have never proven themselves", you can say that yes, but show me one young fighter who has proven himself? Chad Dawson? Maybe, but I recalled that one more round with Glen Johnson would've been a brutal KO, Chad showed big signs of weakness, but also great signs of heart. But fact of the matter is that Johnson isn't the fastest pace. I think USA sometimes have to invent stars, like they did with Pavlik, right now with Mayweather "retired" you basicly have no one left, except for Hopkins (But you are calling him an old man aren't you? Or at least you did until he beat the crap out of the next American Idol). But it's okay, USA is the land of boxing, I won't disagree with you on that point. But the rest of the world is really showing signs of a growing boxing culture. But hey, I hope that he will take Dawson, because first of all, I think he should retire with a match in his native country AND it would be a big step towards getting respect in America. Second I really feel like Calzaghe would win over Dawson. But hey we could discuss that all night huh? :)

Some people make me laugh on this thread. You say that boxing does not care about Calzaghe, yet you took time out of your day to post on this thread. You obviously do care about Calzaghe, and his future plans. I hope Calzaghe comes back one last time to destroy the massively over hyped Chad Dawson, in Jeff Lacy fashion. He can then retire. Will he get respect for beating Dawson? No, he won't, because haters, hate. thats very true

So you are saying that Veit was a bad fighter? :bs2: If Calzaghe were able to get fights back then, he would've. But Roy didn't want him and Hopkins was just too "big". course not no one would say that. he survived 20 seconds with the power punching joe calzaghe.
