    There is nothing delusional about it mate.
    He fought Roy for one of the biggest paydays of his career.
    It was that or fight Pavlic for peanuts. And then have to listen to people say how over rated he was when he took him to school.
    He said it was his last fight. And it was going to be a payday fight. It had nothing to do with legacy. Boxers fight for money and worry about legacy later. I cant see why you have a problem with that. What would you have done.?

    I met Calzaghe on the dinner circuit a few years ago just after the Lacy win and as much as I love him, he did come across a bit dumb.

    Im still scratching my head as to why this fight got a 24/7, my head is also compulsing as how it won an emmy.

    This fight only did like what, 250,000 buys with 24/7?

    Just how many buys it would of got without it......90,000?

    Then when the fight is signed he comes out publicly and says he can't understand how people say Jones is shot.

    It was Hopkins' straight right that changed his mind. That's why Pavlik immediately went back to Middleweighti.

    Americans are the king of making excuses for why Hopkins and Jones lost

    If Calzaghe had fought Pavlik right after Pavlik blew away Lockett, then

    1) that fight would probably have made as much as or more money than Calzaghe vs. Jones.

    2) Calzaghe's legacy would have been much better. Back then, people regarded Pavlik as a P4P top fighter, and he was undefeated. He would have got all the credit B-Hop did for beating Pavlik and probably more.

    Calzaghe DID care about his legacy. If he were just money-hungry, he would still be fighting and he wouldn't give a damn about his 0.

    I had a night out with him before the kessler fight. And was told that he would have 2 more big money fights after Kessler and that was it. He said nothing about legacy. Infact the word pension was used.
    If he honestly thought Pavlic would have earned him more money he would have fought him.
    But your free to believe what you like.

    Calzaghe made Jones look like a fool and beat his ass. Why can't some of you nuthuggers just accept that?
