    I swear, you can't make this stuff up.
    No he should stop fighting ANYONE and retire because he's 37 and has busted hands, the line has to be drawn somewhere and it might aswell be here because we both know after Dawson it would be someone else, there always is.

    He get no more respect than what he already has or hasn't got, it won't elevate him to ATG it won't drop him out of HoF if he loses.

    it's not about Dawson, or pavlik or Bhop, It's about Calzaghe and where HE is as a fighter and I think thats ready to retire.

    Would Ali have been considered any worse if he had retired before Spinks?
    Is lennox thought of any worse because he knew it was the end of the line after the Vitali fight?

    No and No and i don't see why Calzaghe is any different.

      And you want to draw it for him. How sweet of you.

      And you know this because...?

      Would Ali have been considered any worse if he had retired before Spinks?
      Care to list Ali's five previous fights before Spinks?
      Is lennox thought of any worse because he knew it was the end of the line after the Vitali fight?
      WTF are you talking about? Who are you, Joe's mom?

        Who said i'm talking for Calzaghe, this my opinion I never claimed it was anything other than that.

        The Title of the thread was: Do you care or want Joe Calzaghe to come back?

        Not: Does Joe Calzaghe want Joe Calzaghe to come back?

          Yes, and you don't want him to come back cuz you're afraid he'll get hurt.

              I'd like to see him fight Dawson.

              He'll be 37, but as long as he still feels like+fights like a young guy (which he does IMO) then I think that he should go for one more fight before hanging them up.

              I like the way that Dawson fights, he's talented and exciting, and I think it would be both interesting and exciting.

              If he wins, then it does a lot for his resume. If he loses, then at least we get the passing of the torch. Either way, it saves us from years of fantasy matchups and 'what if?' discussions.

              If he fights Hopkins then that's good too. Hop, Calzaghe and Dawson are the top 3 at 175, so fighting either of those two is more than worthwhile.

              I don't think that Taylor, Johnson or Froch would have much chance of beating him, and they are not the fights that most people want to see. If he picked one of those as an opponent, I would be dissapointed.

                Yeah right. LOL@ you saying Calzaghe's almost shot while at the same time claiming if he beats Dawson he'll get no credit. Got your bases covered, eh?
