    that seems to be the M.O. of calzaghe's match making throughout his career. the only other match up that would be way worse that calzage and the present day Ali, is a rematch with roy jones jr. i still would give Ali a better chance than jones jr in the rematch.

      Calzaghe will battle a slightly past prime Jake LaMotta for middleweight supremacy and defend his titles against top ranked contenders


      Carmen Basilio and Gene Fullmer

        Yeah I heard Calzaghe was having Ray Robinsons body exhumed and propped up with sticks so he could fight him at millennium stadium this summer.

              I wanted Calzaghe to fight Dawson, win and then retire but it probably would not matter...the haters would still be there...a Calzaghe win V Alien / Predator would not satisfy these guys...

              I wish he would just retire now...he said 3-4 fights after Lacy and that was it...the three fights were Kessler (the young un who everyone cried out for), Hopkins and Jones...retire now and start reading Boxing Scene forums for a laugh Joe...

                i'd like to see Joe actually give a young gun a shot such as Dawson or Pavlik.... like Bernard gave a young Jermain a shot (twice)

                let some young guns get some of those checks, and stop fighting guys receiving these ones....

                    Thanks for proving my point, much appreciated...

                      Joes retiring because retirement homes across the world are prohibiting him from picking fights with their guests.... so i doubt he'll be able to lock down any matches with any of them

                      too bad tho
