    Anyway im glad he talked about Dawson. I still say he comes back if Dawson starts to stand out. Which means not fighting Tarver again lol

      This is true. Why risk that zero if the money is not good enough?

      Just bog-standard logical thinking.

        I am happy that Joe retired. He has nothing left to prove and I think he would have SPANKED Chad anyway! It had nothing to do with fear of losing his '0'. A win over Dawson wouldn't have added to his legacy in my opinion.

          Money? The 0 on the record, who cares....Nothings worth more than a legacy left by a great fighter. When you are ready to put a side Money, and a perfect record and fight for your mark in history, thats what makes you great. JOE surely isnt great

              This is a ridiculous post. Explain to me how a win over Peter Manfredo jr. and Roy Jones Jr do more for his legacy than Chad Dawson.

                    I actually agree with Cal on this one. The risk far outweighs the reward in a fight with Dawson. But if there's any active fighter that could beat Cal besides Hopkins it's Dawson. He's tall, young, very fast, good power & a fellow south-paw.

                      I understand why he didn't fight Dawson and why he rather fought Hopkins and Jones and as much as wanted Dawson to get the recognition by fighting and beating Joe, i must say it was a very smart decision of Calzaghe's part. Fighting Hopkins and Jones were not only easier fights for Calzaghe and both older then him, but he also made more money against them then he would against Dawson who i feel would have beaten him.
