    Will Joe Calzaghe fight this year?

    Will Calzaghe fight in 2009 or will he wait out for the perfect fight a la Floyd Mayweather jr.

      Id like to see him beat Dawson having the cleaned out 2 division (which is very rare)

      I also dont like the crazy hupe Dawson gets in America so Joe would get props from the forum fannies that actually think Dawson can win.

        As far as Dawson's popularity in America, he is still an unknown expect to hardcore boxing fans. I think you read too much in here (NSB) to assume that.



        IMO, I say Calzaghe is sitting out for his "Mayweather/ Hatton" type fight, a huge draw and a HOF career. Who that is, I have no idea.

          American sports writers and casters seem to put a lot into Dawson.

            one can't help but to say those things about Dawson for his two fights in 2008. Beating an former champion in Tarver and a close fight with Glen Johnson.

              got nothing left to prove ,though he might fancy a few more million.Dawson is the only meaningful fight out there,and it would be a cracking fight

                Hopkins **** all over his meal ticket in Pavlik.

                If Calzaghe fights again, it has nothing to do with money.

                  Im sure money will have a little to do with it.

                  A homecoming will mean more 60,000 in cardiff appeals to Joe.

                    I get the feeling he'll go for the guy who has 12L on his record - Glengoffe.

                    Dawson would, and should, be the best fight for him but I don't think he'll take the risk. Maybe Calzaghe-Veit III?!
