Joe Calzaghe Calls it Quits, Announces Retirement

[TheSurgeonMDMPH]

Good Frucking riddens! The jig is finally up! The sport definitely wont miss this fraud. Well managed career! Oscar & RJJ take note!

Sky Sports News have announced it too.


Gutted must say. He has a good run.

I never liked him. I didn't think he beat Hopkins, and his last fight and months of comments confirm what an utter prick he really is. But I do give him credit. A good word to describe Calzaghe is consistent. Although I don't know how consistent he would have been if his career took a more risky path, it's always repectable when a fighter is winning for many years in a row.

thanks for the great fights joe, one of the best uk fighters of all times.

If this retirement is real, boxingscene's membership - including alts - will dip in half.

[S.G.]

somehow i think we ain't seen the last of him

he'll be back

[-MAKAVELLI-]

can we get him to sign a contract saying he stays retired?

[hookoutofhell]

thanks for the great fights joe - you deserve a good retirement,

part of me will always want him to come back and give dawson a whipping but imo dawson effectively sealed zaghes retirement by deciding to take on tarver instead of taking on b-hop. i believe that if dawson had beat b-hop calzaghe would have fought him, but ah well i suppose it makes sense and if you dont have the hunger you should leave the sport.

What...are you talking about?

There are now good fights in that division now that joe has gone.

I would have loved it if he had 1 last fight at wembley were he completly batters dawson who is so overrated.
