    One too many is one more after you start to look like you should just quit.

    There were signs against Hopkins. I still think the signs were there, but some of it is being lost in Hopkins beating Pavlik and proving himself to be elite, still. How much of that was Hopkins and how much Calzaghe is hard to say.

    If he looks bad against Jones he should quit right there. If he doesn't look bad he should think about it, and then quit.

    I'm going to say Hamed.

    A one-off.

    His fights, his ringwalks, his interviews... Love him or hate him - how could you not want to watch him.

    I think if he dominates Jones then he could well be persuaded for one final fight in Cardiff and possibly a massive domestic matchup against Froch.

    If he loses then its a rematch with Jones in Cardiff.

    If he wins a decision but it's not impressive then he'll probably retire.

    :good

    Hamed was a special, once in a lifetime fighter, amazing reflexes, power from nothing, speed, entertainment, excitement - the guy is a legend.

    David Haye? Really? More than Benn, Lewis, Hamed, Eubank and erm, Herbie Hide? Fair enough, your entitled to your crazy opinion my friend.

    I just liked that tongue in cheek arrogance, he was a great fighter but just bumped into MAB just as he was losing interest in the game. Still a great career though.

    No nigel benn is number 1 at the moment, but once audley has carved out his great legacy by unifying the titles vs david haye at wembley in front of 90,000 people then he obviously automatically goes to number 1 and should do on everyone else's list.

    I think the arrogance was a front, a persona, for the crowds, entertainment value. Out of the ring he is supposed to be a pretty quiet guy.

    It's a shame he couldn't show his quiet side behind the wheel of a car, eh?
