WBO super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe, 35, told Sportinglife that he plans to retire when the time comes, and not end up like former four-time heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield, who continues to return to fight at 45-years-old, despite being well past his prime. Calzaghe found it hard to watch Holyfield's performance as he lost to WBO heavyweight champ Sultan Ibragimov last weekend. [details]

Still waiting for Joe to fight one legendary fighter, or one pound for pound fighter, or one fighter who has been in the p4p list, or even a world class fighter in america.

Joe seems like he has his head on straight, so I believe him when he says he wont hang on too long. That would be about 10 years from now anyhow. Holy has been shot for a long, long time.

Like Eubank?

Why should he fight anyone in America? Why would a Brit give a **** what america thinks?

People hate. Especially the kids.

I hope Calzaghe stands by his words. So many fighters have said the same but keep on chasing that one last elusive win. The problem is that a fighter must have supreme confidence in themself but that all to often means they can't see that they aren't good enough any more.

Because when Mr bush tells us to do something, we do it without any questions.

Cal means it he is a smart man and when he reaches his limitations he will hang them up. Hopefully before he does he faces only the best of competition, which he is doing right now.
