What should be Joe "The Italian Dragon" Calzaghe's last fight and why? What does Joe have to gain, what will please the fans? Who would give him the hardest fight? Poll to follow!
Tarver just lost to Dawson. There is no way Calzaghe is taking that fight after that.
he just fought shot jones jr. anything is possible. anything and anyone. dead or alive.
I here that Zelenoff bloke is making waves in the boxing world.
It would have to be done at a catchweight. Zelenoff in 4th!.. The people have spoken and they will be bitching & whining if it's not Chad Dawson.
Why wasn't Tarver listed? That seems more likely to me than half of those fights that are. Are you guys that confident Dawson will beat him again?
If Tarver would take it, it would be a very appealing fight to Calzaghe, a worthy but highly beatable opponent UK fans have actually heard of (from 'Rocky Balboa', if nowhere else).

The Road Warrior. This was a fight that was supposed to happen but never did, ie injuries and such. Its a big fight and I think Joe draws a big crowd no matter what. It also adds to a resume that some find wanting.
This is gonna come off us as bashing but if Glen Johnson wants Calzaghe's fairwell fight he needs to have an extremely mediocre bout in the next couple months. To show Calzaghe that it would be a safe fight. I think the Road warrior needs to put on a crap performance to make Cal feel safe. At which point Glen would need to fight his heart out and try and ruin the homecoming. Hard to imagine him taking on Dawson. Froch will be ignored by those outside UK.

Probably against Glen Johnson, Calzaghe wouldn't want to fight a young stud like Dawson who can possibly beat him. If it's a "farewell" fight than it would be against someone more respectable such as Glen Johnson, not Dawson.
As a Hopkins fan, I have to go with him. I know I'm biased, I just want to see Hopkins settle the score.:boxing:
None of the fights stated by posts here are bad.
I would be damn excited for Hopkins.
It's not gonna happen. If it don't make dollars it dont make sense.
NO boxer cares about the Hardcore fans, theres not enough money in them. Casual fans RUN boxing.
He could fight Tocker Pudwill again in a farewell bout and it would get 50k tickets sold. I would like to see him with glen, chad and then froch. in that order
