    "Nothing left to prove" - Joe Calzaghe

    How would boxing be if all fighters thought like Joe Calzaghe? I'll give you a preview..

    Roy Jones retires after avenging his lost to Montell Griffin Roy States
    "I had nothing left to prove"


    Hopkins retires after toppling Puerto Ricos Champion Felix Trinidad
    "I had nothing left to prove to the sport"


    Mayweather retires after a furious beating of Diego Corrales
    "Ive accomplished what i wanted to accomplish and i have nothing left to prove"


    Pacquiao retires after his rematch beating of Eric Morales
    "theres ahhhhhh still tough competition out but ahhhhhhh..I have ahhhh nothing left to PROVE"


    Miguel Cotto retires after upsetting Carlos Quintana
    "Uhhhhh Miguel Cotto uhhh....I have beaten the best..Have uhhh...Nothing left to prove"


    And Oscar after Vargas, Shane after Oscar, Tyson after Spinx, and so on and so forth...

    Being that every fighter I named has fought IMO close to even if not better competition in their early fights as Calzaghe, his early decent wins being a Lacy, Eubank, Kessler...Boxings hungriest competitors want the BEST competition and that normally sparks the beginning of their "Legacy" ..Seldom do you see a fighter quit with so many unanswered questions....How do you think boxing would be if everybody thought that as soon as they proved something..They had "nothing" left to prove?

      Joe C don't have nothin left to prove. I don't think Chad or Glen would beat him, although they'd give him a test. And who'll be upset if he retires anyway?

        Real all time greats like Hopkins always feel they have something left to prove.

                In B-Hops case, there is always a blown up WW out there to beat up

                    hahaha I'll correct you, Dawson would give JC a taste of the canvas it would be more embarrassing than what Manny did to Oscar trust me. Glen Johnson isn't the champion, Dawson IS. OK?
