Honestly why did Joe Calzaghe retire??

[PACnPBFsuck]

all of them. they had to transport manfredo back to the states in a pine box and the ref suffered a collapsed lung and internal bleeding.

I was literally LAUGHING OUT LOUD, green K

you're very convincing.

[Haglerwins]

How's the ref going to call that off when even he takes one of those "punches" and doesn't even feel it? at this Calzaghe stuff.

[sigrab jr]

He was getting knocked down by ancient past prime legends. Next step would have probably been a KO/TKO.

[SN!PER]

Joe "Slaps of Stone" Calzaghe.

Honestly, I would've been happy to see him vs. Ward, Dirrell, Froch, or rematched against Hopkins.

[lfc19titles]

because his hands were too far damaged

for the roy jones and hopkins fight, he did no sparring at all

slaps of stone....lol

i heard he said he'd rather retire than look at nard's mug for 12 rounds...

[Joeyzagz]

I guess im trying to say Calzaghe seems to be a scared ass ***** and quit while he was on the top (so he thought) to avoid the oncoming stampede of good fights, fighters arising at that class yay!?!

Any retirement after age 35 is fair game.

Marciano, Tunney and Dempsey retired much earlier. None of them are as good as Calzaghe.

at 37 why not? There are always going to be another fighter comming up that he should had fought. Can't fight everybody

That could have been said if he actually fought the guys that fans wanted him to fight.

Instead of fighting undefeated prime Pavlik who was calling him out, undefeated Chad Dawson who called him out like a gentlemen, or Glen Johnson who was also calling Calzaghe out. Either of those 3 would have been a nice farewell fight.

Instead he fights a way-past prime and shot Jones, that no one was interested in obviously you can tell by the PPV numbers. Hopkins gets the credit for taking Pavlik's 0 a fighter who was willing to move up to 175 to fight Calzaghe and Calzaghe would have beaten him but was too scared. Pascal takes Dawson's 0, Johnson a very winnable fight for Calzaghe, he ducked him too.

I mean damn, you had 3 legit guys that could have been way better farewell wins than a faded Jones and he ducks all 3 of them. That's like Floyd being called out by Williams, Paquiao and Mosley, but instead of fighting Mosley, he chooses....the 2010 Erik Morales

It would be laughable. I'd disown Floyd if he did that.
