    Id like to see Joe do this, I think he could win a title or two at his advanced age. Easily.

    I don't think his hand has gotten any better, and 52 is 52.

    Stay retired and undefeated.

    Super Joe was just a different breed of fighter. Especially late 20’s Joe. Nobody in history is beating peak Calzaghe

    Joe was a great fighter but he would not beat any relevant, active fighter if he comes back now. His time has passed and his legacy is secure.

    Like Tyson at 57 could beat Jake Paul?

    Joe wouldn’t beat Bivol, Beterbiev, Benevidez, Canelo or any top 20 guy at his age.

    Great fighter in his day. That day has long passed,

    you mean a minor belt? because right now Beterbiev has all the real belts. And if he loses them, it’ll be Bivol who has them all.

    You think Calzaghe is taking one of THEM out?

    I'm a big Zags fan, but even peak Calzaghe would have to be an underdog against Beterbiev, and even Bivol IMO. Joe wasn't a 175 fighter, vene if he maybe should have moved up sooner

    I was gonna say he can finally fight Froch now but Froch looks like he’s spent a fortune tryin to look like a male model so I doubt he wants to come back to fight Calzaghe an ruin his new looks. Ha ha

    I heard recently though, that Turki had offered Joe huge money to fight Carl in a real fight. Apparently, Joe agreed, but then changed his mind the following day.

    It would be okay if he did an exhibition or something. But he’s not coming back. And if he did, he could never get back to that level again. I’m sure that you know this.

    He ruined Lacy and Roy Jones, he'd do the same to Beterbiev and Bivol
