CALZAGHE: "2 more fights TOPS"

[Kball15]

CARDIFF, Wales (Ticker) - Joe Calzaghe is considering calling time on his 14-year unbeaten professional career after his next fight.

The WBC, WBA and WBO super-middleweight title holder is looking to step up a weight to challenge Bernard Hopkins at light-heavyweight.

"I have got two fights left - tops," Calzaghe told the Daily Mirror. "I might even have one more and then decide to pack it all in and then get on with the rest of my life. Who knows?

"There are plenty of other things I want to do. My next fight could definitely be my last."

Calzaghe also says the prospect of making more money does not motivate him.

"I don't want to fight on for money. That's not the right motivation," Calzaghe said. "I've achieved almost everything I wanted to achieve. I need to have a goal, like Hopkins. It has to be something big to motivate me."

I would love nothing more than to see Joe drop down in weight and take on Kelly Pavlik should he beat Jermain Taylor again and cement his status. Hell, I'd love to see him fight Jermain Taylor if he won. I'd say that's the front runner for best fight for Joe after he tackles Hopkins.

Oh, Kball...you're starting to sound like quite the hater when it comes to Money Mayweather.

I think he will change his mind.

After years of being under appreciated he has finally got some limelight and he seemed genuinely happy about winning the BBC Sports Personality.

As well as all the other media attention he is currently getting aswell as attracting the 50,000 people to the Millenium Stadium. I think he will fight on if he beats Hopkins.

Hopkins, Taylor/Pavlik. Jones/Tito and maybe a Frank Warren bum tossed in between lol.

[RichCCFC]

He wont fight on if he feels he is out of his prime. His exact words.

[Patty Tanager]

He is out of his prime though . He will be 36 in a few months.

I think Calzaghe is really relishing his new found fame.

Also remember Calzaghe has also said before that he didn't want to carry on past 35.
