    Im sure Reid said not too long ago he was intrested in fighting for the SMW title in Lpool around the time Magee had to vacate

    Calzaghe has to fight either:

    Bute
    Hopkins
    Dawson
    Pavlik

    Anyone else is unacceptable.

    why?

    With people suggesting hatton should only fight effectively shot, or non dangerous opponents should he fight again, this is surely a route jc should be looking at for a comeback, if he is to make it as lucrative as it can be. Something to ease him back in, then step it up. If he does come back and wants to seal his legacy, then no-one less than a super six winner should be acceptbale after a tune up

    A fair bit, but his wife ****ed off with a lot of it + I think she was still taking a cut out of him post divorce.

    I don't think he's hard up though, I just think he misses the fighting. He's given up on promoting and has now joined the pointless celebrity coke fiend set. I think like most fighters, he has no idea what to do with himself post retirement so he may well end up fighting again.

    I reckon he'll have about 2-3 million left in the bank, and a **** load of assets. He won't have made that much fighting bums in Wales for most of his career.

    Between rounds fighters can do any activity of their choice to provide them with stimulation. Ricky could eat a full english, Joe could shag his sister.

    I would say about £10-15mill. He didn't make make much fighting the cans at the ice rink but he would of made a few million a time against Kessler, Lacy, Jones Jr & Hopkins. Plus maybe a few million versus Manfredo (lol) and some others.

    Then there's sponsers etc, and the profits off his #1 hit song.
