Is Boxing hurt by Calzaghe's retirement?

[Oasis_Lad]

He who dares....wins.

Nope apart from Dawson he had noone left to fight

[jollystomper]

i dont think it hurts boxing!
i would have liked to see him rematch hopkins or even fight dawson or froch!,but to be fair to him he already beat hopkins and dawson & froch are only up and comers who havn`t really proved themselves yet!
theres always some up&comer whos hyped up to be "the next big thing" ie lacy/pavlik.
i think calzaghe is a bit overated by some but the backlash by some people on this site is just childish & ignorant!!
calzaghe deserves credit for beating great champions like eubank & hopkins!
i woulnt say he was an ATG but definte HOF!
even guys like marciano & dempsey didn`t have the greatest of resumes when you take a closer look but nobody calls them fakes or bums!!
if calzaghe was american he`d be a nailed on ATG

No... but he sure did hurt boxing when he said that "Boxing is dying!"

Joe is a jerk and I could care less about him fighting anymore. As far as PBF I'm not a fan but in a way him retiring did hurt. PBF could have been that cross-over star fans love to hate. He had the mouth and the skills to help the sport along with DLH's abscence. It's to bad he is afraid to lose!

Who are his people? Never heard of them.

I say this as a Calzaghe fan...no, not hurt in any way shape or form.

I stand corrected: It's actually: "Wars come and go, but my soldiers stay eternal" - Tupac.
