A rematch with Jones is not viable and Calzaghe is not interested in facing Hopkins again, so Chad Dawson, 26, the IBF light-heavyweight champion and a boxer not on Calzaghe's radar six months ago, has been mentioned. “Chad is a good young fighter who has won a couple of decent fights, [but] what's the point?” Calzaghe said. “There's no one left to fight.
“I always had this drive to be world champion. I trained like a pro every day since I was 13 or 14. Talent alone doesn't make a great fighter - you need dedication, too. I got robbed of a chance to go to the Olympics, which was the worst thing in my career.”
Calzaghe revealed that, in the ring, Jones had sung to him a song the American had recorded before the bout. And as victory closed in for the Welshman, Jones paid him the compliment of changing the lyrics. “He was singing his song, ‘Hey, Joe, you know you're 45 and 0,'” Calzaghe said. “In the eleventh round, he said 46 and 0.” There may not be a 47.
