Joe Calzaghe "This is Not a Mayweather Retirement"

[mrosborne]

Stay retired Joe!

I personally believe Joe Calzaghe should stay in retirement. Although I disagree with the statement of "there is nothing left to prove", there is always something else to prove in boxing. Ask Chad Dawson, he's about the only challenge I see for Calzaghe at this point, but you stay long enough in the game you are going to get old, lose some of the reflexes, and for an awkward fighter like Calzaghe who thrives on his speed this would only increase the chances of spoiling that perfect record. He would be wise to play some golf and do some promoting for the up and coming UK fighters, or perhaps make an alliance with Ricky Hatton's promotional company and put them all under one banner just to **** with Warren : )

I just dont get how Kessler was more deserving of a shot at calzaghe rather then Dawson. I mean that fight against a shot roy jones proved absolutely nothing, calzaghe himself was saying these kind of things before the fight got made, saying how jones was too old and stuff..........then he fights jones in a 'career defining fight'.

Now we have one guy who might actually be able to punish him for his mistakes in the ring, a guy who is young, hungry, speedy and could have the power to discourage calzaghe, but he wont fight Chad Dawson, cos he has nothing to prove?

Especially after he won a questionable decision against an old hopkins who had him down in round 1.

Why not prove beyond doubt who the best light heavy is, then retire?

cause he's a pu$$y, thats why.

Please Joe, stay retired and fade away. We won't miss you.

[RobbingHood]

Exactly. Keep picking on the elder out of boxing, you thing.

Man, even his fans don't want him to come out of retirement. They're afraid he "may get hurt."

Most of his fans would have liked him to have had one more fight, against either Dawson or Hopkins (not Woods!) - but respected his decision to retire when he did. But now that he's retired, he should stay retired.

The hate posts on here are silly - those who won't miss him could just ignore the articles about him - but they just can't help themselves, can they?

His fans are not afraid he "may get hurt" if he came back right now, but if he came back after several years, then he probably would - all boxers age eventually, and he's no spring chicken; and his style relied on his speed and reflexes. Jones showed how quickly a fighter who relies on speed and reflexes can become a shell of what they once were.
