          unless he fights someone really big, I dont think he needs to come over here.

          It would help out his legacy and stuff, but I dont think hes obligated to leave at this point. He has too strong of a hold on the 168lb titles.

            Ya I agree with this post..

            and also I think Joe's legacy will somewhat be critizisized if he spent his whole career on his home turf and retires that way.. not that he doesnt win alot of his fights concvingly.. But he has to be able to step out of his home court and deal with a USA crowd and has to come to impress even more since he hasnt got a hometown advantage.

            but thats just how I see it. I hope his last couple fights are eally big names, or fighters who are a real threat for him, or else he will still have to deal with critics talking about his resume and also I dont know where he would really stand in all time p4p rankings..

                they would both get whipped, even in their primes, now they would just be hospitalised.

                    Calzaghe vs a prime Jones? I would loved to have seen that.

                    However Jones isnt the same fighter he once was so it would be unfair to make them fight now. Calzaghe has always been a better fighter than Hopkins and I I'm guessing that will be his next fight.

                      unfair?? not in Joe and frank warrens eyes.. Roy offered to fight in wales and only take 40% of the purse and they still denied him... Roy must be a threat in there eyes..
