Should Calzaghe retire?

joe coops · 04-23-2008, 04:47 PM

Should he retire after his fight with Roy Jones Jr or stay and milk it your thoughts on his fight against Hopkins?

I think he did enough against Hopkins to get the decission. Although Hopkins doesn't make the best of opponents.

I don't think he should retire until he fights our very own Carl Froch. Calzaghe might make short work of him, who knows? However, Carl is British champion etc & No1 contender for the WBC belt. I'd lose alot of respect if Joe decided to vacate the title. For once the City Ground would be packed to the rafters for this one

Joe's got a few years left yet, i think.

He might well have a few years left in him but who will he fight ? Jones at 39 & well past his best ? Tarver? another 39 yr old who made hard work of an ordinary champion (Clinton Woods). In my humble opinion he should take on creditable challenges, as he has in the past, rather than pay days against has beens.

i would like to see calzaghe fight froch just to see if froch is as good as he says against the best of the best in his weight divison as if he doesn't he'll always have froch calling him a bottler, if he does that then he can retire knowing he is the best middleweight boxer in the world in the last decade.

he should retire now if he wants to keep that 0 of his, Roy will most likely beat Calzaghe and if he somehow loses i strongly believe either one of Kelly the Ghost Pavlik or Jermain 'R-kelly' Taylor will make short work of him
