Would 2 fights against top fighters made all the difference for Calzaghe?

Joe was 36 don't try and make it seem like he was this youngster picking on an old man like so many on here do.

You have to admit that Green putting Roy out like he did hurts the win. For 1 round, Roy was competitive against Joe.

The winner of the Super Six would be good, but it'd have to be at 175, and Joe being 39... I dunno about that. He should stay retired. He should have fought Dawson about 5-6 months after he fought Roy.

Damn though, if Dawson fought Calzaghe next, the combined age of his opponents for the last five fights would be approx. 200.

I don't believe that anything that happens to a fighter in a latter fight has any bearing on any fighter from a previous fight especially if it was a year in between.....that can be along time as far as boxing and performance goes.

True, but he probably has less name recognition than Paul Williams. That's the issue I think Joe would have. He's pretty stuck. Not making the big bucks at the end made the journey into retirement an even easier choice at the time I bet as well.

Yer, Dawson couldn't fill a garden shed. It's too high risk/low reward to tempt Joe back.

He'll only come back if there's big money in it for him.

his legacy is set in stone already. he is a nobody. all the fantasy match ups in the world can't save him. reality hurts.

Roy's chin been broke though.

I've softened up on Joe overall. I'd rather he stay retired. Lennox Lewis is the smartest man in modern boxing. 1 loss and Calzaghe could end up chasing the big win like Roy has all these years. I don't think I ever want to see another fighter even think they have to go that route again. When you're past your best..quit it and let the historians do their thing.

calzaghe's career can best be explained as low risk high reward. he took no risks but some of his fans like to reward him as a great fighter for doing so.

No, he was way past it but Joe wasn't this prime up and comer ppl make him out to be either....he had more in the tank but was not at his best.

Looking back, that Roy Jones fight was a bit of a circus wasn't it? And at the time i tried to convince myself that Roy actual had a chance in that fight without remembering have far south Roy had actually gone before that fight.

It was an easy big payday for Joe, i won't knock him for taking the easy money that was there for him. Who wouldn't?
