Calzaghe "Two fights and I'm finished"

[TheGreatA]

“Money talks. Who knows? In a few years’ time I might make some ill-advised comeback and get my ass kicked!”

This is too true...


Leonard vs Camacho is a great example.

Good move for Joe, dont want to end up fighting into your 40s.

Why does he keep calling Pavlik out?

Pavlik is two division below LHW and hardly the greatest middleweight champ of all time. He should be talking about Dawson and Woods

And Dawson is who? So far he has beaten no one, people manage to dismiss his win over Kessler, yet a win over Dawson will mean something? And Woods would mean something to British fans, but he has nothing to prove to them, to Americans Woods would just be another "euro bum" "tomato can" etc. Calzaghe needs American names, and Pavlik is the golden boy at the moment.

Calzaghe would fight Pavlik @ 168 if they ever fought. There's no harm in that.

Fight me a tomato can on that list.

Everyone but Hopkins who is 43 and going to beat that ass and maybe Eubank who trained 3 days for the fight.

Hopkins will beat Calzaghe. This is all just posturing and built in excuses.

[P4P Opinion]

If Calzaghe retires having beaten Hopkins and Pavlik as his final fights, I don't think anyone can question that he is an all-time great. At the moment? No, because either by fault of his own or fault of American fighters ducking him, he still has something to prove against the best Americans.

Calzaghe and Jones Jr should have fought in their primes that match up, say just before Roy went to heavyweight. Calzaghe was experienced enough against quality opposition by then and Roy wasn't over the hill. I really, really hope they don't fight now though, because it would tear me apart to see Joe make a mockery of Roy (which I believe would happen) and the win would do nothing for Joe's resume. I really want people to give Joe the credit he deserves. Hopkins may be old, but he is still a P4P fighter and therefore, boosts Joe's resume.
