    yes or no?

    there is always going to ba a chad dawson/mikkel kesler snapping at your heels thats the nature of the game..

    in my opinion yes he should,he set his goals and achieved em,time to call it a day joe..

    focus on promoting the kesslers etc

    I mean...at this point, the only guy who has a legit claim to fight him is Chad Dawson, but even saying that I believe it's still a little early for Chad. He's gotta build a name for himself to get a shot at Joe now.

    I say put Dawson in with Bernard if Kessler vs Bernard doesn't get made.

    i am pretty sure he would like his last fight to be in cardiff ,so i think he should expose dawson before b hop does then retire 47 and 0.
    mind you that is so close to marciano`s record of 49 and 0.
    can he fight on to beat that with out a loss????
    he is starting to dwindle,two 1st round kd in his last two fights???
    maybe a couple of manditories.

    He could top RJJ by dismantling BHOP.

    Problem is, if they fight again, BHOP takes him...

    RETIRE CALZAGHE.

    This is the only obvious fight left but probably not worth the risk for JC

    Hopkins gave him a fight and he should give Hopkins a rematch.

    He's the new American kid on the block and unless Calzaghe loses to him, he deserves no respect.
