Joe Calzaghe has nothing left to prove, except to himself. After beating Roy Jones Jr so comprehensively here on Saturday night the unbeaten Welshman has only one challenge left, which is to walk away from the sport that has been his life for 25 years.
Yesterday in New York, tired but still exhilarated in the after-glow of a famous victory in which he kept his Ring magazine light-heavyweight belt for good, he gave every indication that he will retire after discussing it with his family......

Send your tributes guys....
I'm not surprise,nyself,TBH. If he feels the time is right,that no fights excite him and that his heart is no longer in the game he should think about enjoying his retirement....
This shouldn't surprise anyone, no one out there can give him the payday he wants now and it's probably the right move anyway, not many fighters can say they retired on top much less undefeated.
I'm split on this one. I'd like him to retire now, he's done it all, and doesn't need to risk his health anynmore. But on the other hand, he can't lose at the moment to ANYONE, so why not a few more fights.....
