    He can chose between Ivan Calderon and Eagle Kyowa.

    The fights should happen at the back of his house with his wife, Uncle and grand Pa as judges. Or if that's still inconvenient for him . . . it can also be inside his garage. :yep :hi: :good

    he will definately fight someone from the US whether he wins or loses to Kessler. i want to see jc fight bhop, and they both have been saying they want eachother for a while. this will be a huge payday for both and thats what they both want, cashhhh. if calzaghe doesnt fight bhop he will fight an American. i would like to see him fight jermaine taylor or pavlik, whoever wins.

    :patsch :patsch :patsch ............. Crush Calzaghe................:rofl
    Grown up son !!!!............It would be close but I think Joe could really make Hop look his age, Its the buisiness he brings & contstant workrate , In Bernards prime an awsome prospect but now JC takes a UD........If he beats Kessler its on to take Taylor/Pavlik maybe he will fight Hop as well................Seriously what kind of thoughts will people have of JC if he beats Kessler/Hopkins/Taylor in his last 3 fight..???

    If he loses to Kessler, he will make big announcements, but fight one bum after another....

    If he wins vs. Kessler, he will make big announcements, but fight one bum after another....

    It is more than likely that Joe will want a big money fight after Kessler, if he beats Mikkel. After all, he has suggested so himself in that interview with that annoying woman...(I cannot find it, someone might be kind enough to post it...) also, he will want to fight a NAME, even if they are not dangerous to him/a live threat, because it will help him climb up the American-biased rankings. This is not what Joe would have wanted, but this is how things stand, so he will have to play the game; for money and for his legacy he will fight a NAME - most probably Hopkins, whom he will easily beat. A shame really...let us hope Joe thinks better of it, and does the right thing, as he has done by taking on Kessler.

    Joe would be very well advised not to "throw good money after bad" as he has done for long stretches of his career, most obviously particularly lately, and screw the American-biased media and their silly rankings and instead concentrate on his LONG-TERM legacy WITH REAL, KNOWLEDGEABLE FANS and fight, like he is doing now, LIVE threats, dangerous opponents, the best out there, not have-been NAMES.

    Thus, if I was advising Joe, I would say:

    Come on, Joe!:happy

    Why is it that all you yanks slag calzaghe off for fighting in his own back yard,when have any of your guys(hopkins,wright,taylor etc)fought outside America? as for Bhop Vs Calzaghe,why would calzaghe fight him in America when theres more money to be made over here:huh

    I'd rather see him fight the winner of Taylor-Pavlik next. Both of them are very big men and whoever wins that fight, would be the undisputed middle champ. That's two out of two fights for Calzaghe where he's beaten world class fighters. Then go after Dawson and if he could stretch his career for just one more fight?? I'd go with Woods.

    Chad Dawson: not a big enough name outside America
    Roy Jones: too old
    Bhop: too old
    JT: has already said he doesn't wanna fight Calzaghe and too small.


    These are not my opinions but are excuses everyone will give for calzghe fighting/beating these opponents,that is why he's in a no win situation imo

    Wrong! Anybody who says JC is in a no win situation is either just making excuses for him and blaming the big, bad world instead, promoting the myth that all is fair in love, war and professional boxing. Every fighter, big or small has a duty to do their best to stand up for what is right, and not take the easy way out just because the climate surrounding and influencing the sport is corrupting.

    What is more, saying he is in a no-win situation is plain wrong! His legacy, and the respect and love of fans of boxing would be cemented more if he fought the best out there than if he beat up a tired-old NAME.

    I would have no problem if he retires after he beats Kessler. He wold have nothing to prove, propably earned enough money and hes getting old. He could retire as an undefeated champion.
