    I am sick of watching him outwork an opponent to victory so I would prefer he just stayed away or went to MMA. Bring on entertaining fighters that are able to KTFO their opponents.

    4 fights. I think he should but rather a guy like Marciano hold that record.

    He could do it, but I dont think he has the hunger for it anymore, 4 fights is 2 to 3 years for Calzaghe and he's 38 next year.

    I prefer to see knockouts but I dont mind a fight that goes the distance when both fighters are throwing big shots and not pitty pat slaps.

    Calzaghe has done everything, and is a millionaire he has nothing to prove and its not worth risking his legacy going for the 50-0.

    If he went for the harder route, which fight would be the most difficult, Dawson, Hopkins II, Kessler II or Johnson?
     
  11. Joe should stay consistent **** everyone else. Get the record and do it by fighting a Pudwill- or Manfredo-type. Oscar, based on the Pacquaio fight, would be a real solid choice. Lots of options for Joe, though. Kell Brook, Ryan Rhodes, Matthew Macklin, Andy Lee, Tony Oakey, Matthew Barney and the list goes on.

    All of those except for Hopkins. Dawson or Kessler for sure, Johnson can be outboxed but Hopkins just can't win enough rounds to win a decision. He proved that in the Taylor rematch and it would probably turn out the same.
