I think Johnson is the easiest fight. I can see Calzaghe running rings around him and winning a wide decision.

Jack Johnson?

Dunno how he would cope with being 100 years old and coming down from heavyweight.

Risky fight for joe.

[Sparked_1985]

I only want him to fight Hopkins to be honest.

Hopkins would have to be far more aggressive this time out, it would be far more intriguing.

B-Hops knows he can't win, with his previous gameplan; he won't get the decision, and if he did the same again Calzaghe would shorten his punches right up from the get-go and be fairly comfortable - winning a stinker.

I find this the most interesting fight by far.

Joe needs a fighter he wants to fight. He hates Bernard - that should be enough to get him out of bed in the morning.

Chad Dawson is not that guy and as such is a very dangerous fight for a guy who needs someone to light a fire under him.

Winky is the safe option. Calzaghe beats him everyday of the week. Simply put; he is too big for him and that high held guard will just let Joe walk in; flurry and rack up rounds. If Joe simply wants a farewell where he can win comfortably - it'll be this fight.

Hopefully he fights Hopkins

I really hope it's Chad Dawson. The Hopkisn fight was so sloppy, that I just dont need to see that again.

It's a weird one with Calzaghe and Hopkins. I think the only way he can win is to use his previous defensive gameplan, but then it depends on how the judges see the fight. If Hopkins fights Joe aggressively and open like he did against Pavlik, Joe lands all night long and wins the fight with his angles and workrate.

[Sparked_1985]

If not Hopkins.

Sven Ottke.

That fight will mean nothing to Americans. But as Joe is not really going to enhance his reputation with his farewell fight he should tempt Ottke out retirement and get rid of his zero.

You'd think so.

But he did do well when he did actually stop back peddling. He got the better of Joe on a few occassions, not really hurting him.

It's a high-risk strategy though and relies on Hopkins hurting Calzaghe (which he didn't really do the first time from what I saw including the knockdown). If not he'll be fighting like a 43 year old after round 8.

I think it's a really interesting return. Between two smart technicians.

I never thought a Hopkins rematch would ever happen nor did I really care for it to but now I'm kind of intrigued. As a Hopkins fan I'd love to see him go out and redeem himself in his last fight and take Joe's "0" off in the sunset. Though I think the best opponent for Calzaghe is Dawson.

please let winky lose to pwill so calz will have to fight dawson or hopkins
