    Did Calzaghe retire at a bad time?

    We got Dawson, taylor, froch, bute, Pavlik, Williams, Abraham and or rematch with kessler. I mention Pavlik and Abraham because would move up to fight him.

    Yes.

    Even though he more than likely wins, I think a fight between him and Williams would be fireworks. I can't see that being anything other than a brawl when it gets going.

        I like Calzaghe too, I just feel that he left at a bad time.

          Old men don't throw over a 1,000 punches at lhw and against young prime fighters like Kessler. He clearly had something left in the tank still.

            Well he couldn't make 168 anymore, his reflexes and speed were starting to slow down. And of course if he loses now, to a guy 12 years younger, people will say he was never that good anyway. Exposed, as it were.

              The two fights I was very interested in were Chad Dawson and Kelly Pavlik. Dawson especially.

                    All those fighters you listed = too much risk, not enough reward!
