    I disagree, many want to see him come back to fight some of the top names

      Even if Calzaghe came back he it would not be a super fight like any fight Floyd is in. He could fight Dawson and it would be a big fight for boxing fans, but neither of them are a big draw to the public. Calzaghe does have the Brits behind him which helps but otherwise he's not a big name to the Americans.

          Hardcore boxing fans knew that Lacy was overrated and Calzaghe would handle him. And alot of critics thought Hopkins edged out the fight ya know.

            True, it was hardly a good fight, but most people gave it to Hop.

                Putting Calzaghe's gray resume in perspective is what that story did.

                  Nah, check any poll. I have never seen one in favor of Hops.

                    Calzaghe was never a draw...

                      This article just confirmed what most think about Joe's career. Except of course for some delusional fanboys.
