Thoughts on Calzaghe

[Squabbles94806]

Does anyone know what Calzaghe's plans are? Of course everyone's heard what Joe said about boxing and it pissed a lot of people off. Isn't he supposed to retire? I'm not knockin his skill, just his will. If boxing is so called "dying" and you're a prize fighter, isn't it your job to get asses in the seats?

His comments (which could well have been taken out of context) did nothing to improve his legacy. I don't think anyone has any qualms about him retiring.
Like i said, in 20 years a lot of people will probably forget the name Joe Calzaghe.

Is it plausible to believe that his 46 victories were hand picked and protected? I mean, it's evident that he really never fought in the states. I don't understand why? All of his state appearances were done in good fashion.

He sc****d Jeff Lacy; which Lacy could never recover from both mentally and physically. Calzaghe beat Hopkins legitimately in a classical boxing match. And he also embarassed RJJ and made him look soft.

Perhaps if he set up shop in the U.S., he would have done more for the sport of boxing.

Rematch with B-Hop is the only fight I can see.

Well, of course that's the fight WE want to see. But as far as risk reward at this stage in Joe's career, I don't see this fight getting done. Dawson has Tarver in March anyway.

Between bashing the sport he's in and fighting old, out of their prime fighters, I don't think anyone cares about Calzaghe. I haven't even heard his retirement talked about. When Mayweather mentioned retirement, the boxing world turned upside-down. When Calzaghe mentioned it, everyone said good riddance.

What this good man said. He isn't re matching Hopkins. Those were the only 2 LHW's mentioned as likely for Calzaghe. It's saying something; there's no fights out there.

He beat the best SMW, and the best LHW. Give him his dues and let the guy retire.

With all due respect, that's a load of crap, in my opinion.

First of all, anything that Joe says, people jump on it and make a big deal out of it, no matter what it is. He said boxing is killing itself, and I happen to agree in some ways; blatant robberies such as Holyfield-Valuev, the ridiculous amount of world champions, belts and sanctioning bodies, etc. This is what he was referring to when he said boxing is dying. People went ****ing nuts about it because they are looking for any reason they can to talk **** and discredit Joe Calzaghe.

When he talks of retirement, only a few people on message boards such as this one said goods riddance. See, there you go again, exaggerating the truth by saying "everybody said good riddance".

Stop talking ****.

Maybe you're still pissed off because you said Lacy would smash him to bits.

You'll excuse me if I don't take a lecture from a guy who hasn't even been here a year seriously
