    I think it's fair to say this is going to be Joe Calzaghe's last bout.

    As for Roy Jones, who knows??

        Rematch clause? Does this mean Calzaghe is not very confident or Jones wanting another payday if he loses?

          Wtf??????

          I Hate to say this but JC is a fkg bum....he is average at best.This should be a good fight but i expect for RJJ to win via decision.Im sorry but i have never been a sloppy Joe fan especially since it seems as if he ducked Pavlik as of late.I can care less if this is his last fight,good riddance(sorry Brit fans!)
          RJJ wins via split decision.BTW i wouldnt be surprised if its JC pushing for the rematch clause being that he is problably already in doubt.

            I think its really bad that JC's last fight will be in the states, especially after that was the venue of his last fight.

            I've spent £400ish quid on Calzaghe tickets for Hopkins and Kessler, not including travel just to find out that it'll be yet another huge lump sum for this fight!

Jones has already stated his plans, So I doubt this has anything to do with Jones....

                Actually it was Jones who was pushing hard for the idea of a rematch. Calzaghe has maintained this will be his last fight. Jones said he wanted to have one fight in Wales and the rematch in America.

                    LMAO @ Wes....Why didn't you come back on boxing forum after Calzaghe vs Kessler?

                    Damn your hate is strong, you've been spouting this crap for a while now yet Calzaghe always does the business.
