Calzaghe To Return To 168 After Jones!

[Silencers]

WBO super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe has stated that his September 20 light heavyweight bout against Roy Jones Jr. will not be his last and that he plans to return to the super middleweight division following that fight. In a fax sent to WBO President Paco Valcarcel on British Boxing Board of Control letterhead dated July 16, 2008, and signed by Joe, the longtime 168lb champion wrote:

Dear Paco,

Further to our phone conversation of today's date I wish to remain as the WBO's Super Middleweight Champion. Following my proposed contest against Roy Jones Jnr. it is my intention to defend the WBO Super Middleweight Championship. I am proud to be a WBO Champion and thank you, as always, for the opportunities given to me in the past.

Kind regards,
JOE CALZAGHE CBE

What do you guys make of this? A rematch with Kessler or a fight with Pavlik?

Edit: I just remembered Pavlik, it's late here, my mind is working in slow motion.

It's on ********* before anyone asks for a source.

Kelly Pavlik.

I thought this may be his plan, come on Joe bring our faith back!

I'll believe it when I see it. Kessler? LOL. I'd hope it would be Pavlik.

I hope it's Gary Lockett.

If Joe plans on goin back to 168 after comfortably making 175 twice, he's going to realize it's gunna suck even more losing that extra 7 lbs.

Plus, didn't Roy want to fight at 168? If you ask me, they should have, both guys struggle to make the weight, but Roy wanted to make HISTORY.

I hope it's Gary Lockett.

That would be sweet. Or a rematch with Sakio Bika would be ideal.

Yeah I think the fight should have been at 168.

He has been complaining about struggling to make 168 for a while now, maybe he really wants a fight with Pavlik.

And I agree, Calzaghe-Jones should be at 168.

This is one confused guy. One day its "Im retiring after the jones fight" and the next its "im moving back down to 168 after jones" WTF?

Maybe the backlash about the Jones fight did get to him and he decided he wants to fight Pavlik?

It is possible imo
