Yup, he's no Floyd Mayweather. I think with the Tarver rematch, and it even being delayed, it's unlikely Joe will ever fight again.

It's a shame a slight culture of retiring and coming back has been started by some people, because it's then assumed on others whom are genuinely retired.

Agreed people like B-hop, Trinidad and Now Maybe Mayweather retiring and then coming back isnt helping. Lennox lewis retired and kept it that way...Calzaghe isnt 31 the man is 37 years old, Has so many hand injuries dating back 5 years now.

He says he has achieve all he wants and can in boxing and at 37 i hope he doesnt comeback.

I don't think anybody deserved to win the Calz-Hop fight.....Calzaghe pushed the fight more however and I guess that's why he won. Well at least that's just me because I respect the guy that creates offense more than the guy that relies on the other guy to do that for him.....pretty much what Hopkins was doing.

good.. not a good match up style wise and not a good fight period for Joe

i thought B-Hop edged it out the 1st time

CALZAGHE JUST LAND 100 more punches!
Calzaghe dominate!

It doesn't surprise me that he is not interested in a rematch. Joe has one win over him and that was very close/debatable decision.

let bhop win the cruiser title and then it would be more attractive for zaghe

Definitely, Calzaghe certainly has the power and chin to fight at cruiser.

i'm glad ... wasnt a good fight the first time around ... bhop has nothing to prove jc does. the rematch does little for bhop imo ...
