    Joe Calzaghe should have rematch Robin Reid

    It was a very close fight which some folks saw Robin Reid winning it.

    They were dead even according to the punch stats. Reid landed the harder punches, and had the better defense in that fight.

    Only reason that fight was close was because Joe Calzaghe's hands gave out in the fight before. They were never the same after that, definately affected his performance against Robin Reid.

      That's why Floyd rematch Castillo to prove that he was the better man. He was also injured like Calzaghe in their first fight.

            Reid should've got a rematch with Ottke after they robbed him. Where was the IBF on that?

              It seemed he couldn't miss Calzaghe with the right hand that night. Joe was very overconfident going into that and Reid was very motivated, his dislike of Calzaghe was real. Does anyone remember the ice cream with glass in it that Calzaghe was given before the fight?

                I thought Reid won.

                    Mario Veit, stopped in one round, by JC, was the only boxer Joe fought twice. Calzaghe didn't seem to relish rematches with opponents he won disputed decisions over like Reid and Hopkins.
