By Cliff Rold - Before the final bell had sounded at Madison Square Garden to end Joe Calzaghe vs. Roy Jones Jr, thoughts were already turning to what the future might hold. Calzaghe has hinted strongly at possible retirement with a victory over Jones but was less than definitive at the post-fight press conference. Questioned at the press conference by ESPN’s Dan Rafael about what was left after his success against Hopkins and Jones, Calzaghe stated “That’s the sort of answer I don’t have an answer for right now. I’ll go away and evaluate. I don’t really like to do rematches,” he continued, referencing Hopkins and a familiar face in the crowd, Mikkel Kessler (41-1, 31 KO). Pointing at the Danish WBA Super Middleweight titlist and 2007 Calzaghe decision victim, Calzaghe joked, “There’s old smiley over there. Look at Mikkel all the way man.” [details]

Calzaghe should call it quits,.. there's no more seniors to fight,.. Jones should never lace up a pair a glove again in life... Bhop is playing Russian Roulette,.. age could creep in like the final stages of cancer... and Joe should stay far away Dawson..Comment

he should retire..... there are not many fighters that get the chance to go out on there own terms. he will be 37 by the time he next fights, he should go out on a high. I don't think there is a comparison to Mayweather's retirement, but the only parallel i would draw between the two is the desire not being what it once was, both with nothing to prove, even if there are at least 3 fights on the table for Floyd that would make financial sense. I don't think Joe has anybody that could make him serious money, no way does Dawson bring money, despte his talent!!!Comment
