Will Calzaghe ever fight again?

Longer it goes on the more i feel he has that one more fight. I think he's weighing up his options.

I don't think its only money. Look Calzaghe could fill the M-stadium now with 70K ppl. His drawing-power increased since the Kessler-fight. He could make ~10M $ fighting an average name like Johnson, Taylor or Dawson in Wales. But there is no real mega-fight out there, money or legacy-wise. Joe is not hungry anymore. I was shocked when i heard that he could motivate himself for the Hopkins fight, his first fight in the US. Joe's work ethic in the gym AND in the ring during the fight always impressed me. But he is not the same fighter anymore, he is not this hungry kid like 1-2 years ago when he fought Kessler or Lacy. It's not a shame after 20years of boxing. He is 37, not too young to retire. I don't think he will be a boxer again. agree with you man, i think up until the build up to the kess and lacy fight especially joe felt as though he wasn't being given his credit and he wasn't. a fighter who isn't beng given his credit is always dangerous as he has a point to prove. imo if tarver looks good in the rematch and still loses vs dawson then i wouldn't rule out JC taking on dawson. because i have the feeling that after a long 3/4 month break he might be re-invigorated and feel as though he can give dawson a good fight. in an ideal world JC would take on johnson and then finsih off with dawson. but i know that JC doesn't have the hunger for 2 more bouts and should stick to the fight with dawson and even then thats if he still feels the hunger. speaking more long term imo it is important for JC to take on dawson. alot of ppl still rank b-hop higher than joe on the all time lists which will no doubt irk calzaghe. personally i think JC deserves to be higher than hopkins but alot of US fans aren't buying it. if JC retires then hopkins will fight and probably beat dawson, if he does that argument for b-hop being ranked higher becomes a whole lot stronger. he would have become a 2 time LHW champ and beaten the future of the division. however if JC takes on dawson and beats him then theres nothing left for hopkins to really do at LHW. he would have to retire or take on a lesser name tht won't add to his own legacy.

The only reason y i would like to see calslappy fight again is so he can get ktfo hahah Calzaghe doesnt get KTFO, only KTFD, occasionally.

Be objective. Bernard made Joe look weak. Joe didn't even bother hurting Bernard and began punching with his palm instead of with his fist. I'm not talkin shiit either, video shows that they sacrificed power for speed to just tag Hop. Like I said, if he's gonna rematch ANYONE, it should be Hop. Not Jones. I am always objective. Joe should not fight Jones or Hopkins again. How can you say Hop wasn't hurt? If he wasn't hurt he wouldn't have been pretending to be hit low too buy time when Calzaghe was starting to dominate him late. Hopkins always finishes strong except against Calzaghe. If Joe didn't hurt him he would've finished strong.

Joe won the fight convincingly (threw and landed twice as many punches), it's just that Hopkins makes ugly, boring fights. Joe figured out Hopkins by mid fight and was dominating him and would do so in a rematch, but it would be dull to watch. Be objective. Bernard made Joe look weak.

agreed, if he's gonna rematch anyone, why rematch Jones? Rematch the guy that made you look amateurish, not who you dominated.

Glen Johnson is going to reach that 'magical age' of 40 soon so..

Dawson taking the Tarver rematch before he needed to might be an indication that Calzaghe has told Dawson's camp that he is not interested in fighting him. It seems to me that he won't fight again, but I hope he does. Totally, I don't quite get why people don't see this so much. Dawson is busy with a re match making him busy for the first 8 months or so of 09 realistically. Calzaghe's unlikely to wait around for that. Plus, another win over Tarver is hardly the breakthrough Dawson needs. It won't do much for him, at least that he needs. He won't re match Hopkins for the various reasons mostly known, no point. He can't really get down to SMW, ruling out Pavlik, Abraham or any other top MW or small SMW, and I don't think even Taylor, Winky, Kessler or Froch would go high enough in catch weight, or that any of those would be particularly good match ups. Taylor couldn't despatch a Lacy Calzaghe ruined for him. Another thing I'm surprised people haven't picked up on, is the Roy Jones interview quoting Joe saying he'd fight him if he did fight again. So furthermore, if we credit that aswell, it makes it even more unlikely. There's been no significant talks of "Joes people are talking with ours" or anything like that, to take seriously. You'd expect a little of that in the past few weeks if Calzaghe was considering them, talking to them, or playing them off against each other for bargaining and such. I really don't think the guys gona fight again, he's coming on for 37 and has ruined hands, there's no bigger fights out there.

agreed, if he's gonna rematch anyone, why rematch Jones? Rematch the guy that made you look amateurish, not who you dominated. Yeah, before I saw Hopkins-Pavlik, I would have said different. But I think Hopkins will fight differently this time around.

If Dawson fought Hopkins and won convincingly I could see Joe coming back for that fight. I could also see Joe coming back and fighting whoever becomes unified at SMW and fighting him at a catch weight or even going back down to SMW. The fight will have to be the biggest payday of his career for Joe to fight again IMO. Other then that I think JC is going to hang 'em up, he's done enough.

He should fight Hopkins again. agreed, if he's gonna rematch anyone, why rematch Jones? Rematch the guy that made you look amateurish, not who you dominated.

Why would he? According to him, "Boxin's dead" so why would he fight in a dead sport? Nas said Hip Hop was dead.. the mofo still raping.

I'm pretty sure he'll be back; right now he's just waiting on the sidelines and will be back when a big fight materializes....

I doubt it. He's got no motivation to face any of his probable opponents. No big fights left for him that he'd get what he wants out of it.

i reckon he will... he doesn't sound too convinced about this whole retirement thing
