I think he'll most likely retire if he loses to Kessler. Sure there could still be good money in fighting an american name. A rematch with Kessler isn't unthinkable either. But i lean towards Calzaghe losing motivation and calling it a day.
What do you think Calzaghe's next move would be if he loses? America maybe?
If he loses no one will give a ****. I don't consider him a great fighter. Ricky Hatton tried convincing Joe to come to the U.S. Joe seems like he didn't want to make attempt. I don't hate Calzaghe! but what I'm trying to say here is that he hasn't proved anything.
Depends on the manner of his defeat. If its a close loss in an exciting match, expect a lucrative rematch (I think that Kessler is the kind of fighter who would do that...not least because there arent huge amounts of high-profile options in that division). If its a flash loss or a fairly non-competetive affair, expect him to move up a division and there are a few worthwhile fights he could take, he could easily claim that he is no good at making that weight any more. If he takes a Lacy-esque beating, I'd expect him to consider retirement.
