The Reason Why Calzaghe Will Fight 1 More Time

[larryx]

From what I can see, Kessler has his WBA belt and the WBO and WBC belts are vacant. He had already been stripped of the IBF after Bika.

ok i stand corrected..thanks

He's outta alphabet belts, but he's the recognized LHW champ. He's undefeated, and he just won decisively in a big fight. Why not go out now?

Isnt dawson a true light heavy weight too? Wouldnt he be able to take Calzaghe?

I'd love to see Zags take on Dawson as his REAL final fight in let's say Cardiff.. but I'm not sure that even at Calzaghe's very high skill level, that he wants a fight that difficult to cap off his career. If he went out on a win over Dawson it would be tremendous, but I think there's way too much of a legacy at stake to go out on a loss to Chad.

Somehow I doubt Joe C would purposely choose his last fight so far from home, against a fighter that while once great does not really improve his chances to be P4P #1.

Now if Pacquiao loses to DLH, is that enough to put Joe #1?

If so, it's possible this was the double end of an era...

but I've got money on another fight back home.

i hope he fights again
