Calzaghe left a massive void when he retired. The SMW division in particular.

    Joe's girfriend is back...The WBC orderd him to fight Froch. Instead of getting stripped he dropped the title and ran to another division to take two easy fights, one he almost lost.

    Calzaghe retired because of Hopkins who ruined Calzaghe. Just look at Hopkins track record.

    Sergundo Mercado - A top ranked IBF fighter, gets beat, his next 9 fight record becomes 1 - 1 - 7

    Joe Lipsey - An undefeated upcoming fighter, gets KTFO by Hopkins (see video), never fights again.

    youtube.com/watch?v=ScRv9xzLeW8

    Glen Johnson - Undefeated prospect with a record of 32 - 0. Loses, then goes onto a series of more loses, and passed around SMW like a bum.

    Antwun Echols - Big MW hitter, loses, then goes into decline.

    Felix Trinidad - P4P #1, gets beat, never the same becomes marathon runner.

    Hoya - Gets beat, becomes fulltime promoter.

    Taylor - Gets robbery wins, never looks the same and develops glass jaw.

    Wright - Loses to Hopkins, never wins another fight

    Calzaghe - Gets SD win, gets floored by Shot jones next fight, then retires.

    Pavlik - Sent into alcoholism

    Pascal - Now struggling to make LHW at 5 ft 10.

    Dawson - gets beat easily by Ward next fight, KTFO by Stevenson.

    Cloud - Possible depression.

    Calzaghe may have made the best decision of his career by opting not to take on BHop in a rematch. Calzaghe was just 2 spots away to be considered p4p number 1, first time he was being recognised on the streets of Cardiff by the casuals, first time shop keepers were saying welcome and giving discounts because they found out who he really was, first time he was being offered multi millions by multiple opponents, first time he was being called out by fighters in 3 divisions. But Joe Calzaghe knew eventually BHop going to inflict further damage and he going to end up in the glass jaw rankings. Smart move.

    American butt hurt kid? What makes you suggest Calzaghe had a glass jaw? He went in the ring and beat many big punchers, for example he beat Lacey and Kessler yet did he get knocked out? Stick to writing on american football forums, your boxing knowledge is very poor. :good

    He left a massive void for a short time which Showtime rectified with the super 6 tournament.

    Joe didn't try anything of the sort. When Hopkins doubled over and offered himself unconditionally, Calzaghe simply ridiculed Hopkins' submissive (not to mention lewd) behavior.

    One day chinovelvet may actually get something right...

    You must be insane. I aint American.

    BHop has a history of ruining fighters as I have shown above, after BHop, Calzaghe looked like an amateur slapper, he was getting wobbled by a shot jones jr, floored by 40 year old men, and looking weak at LHW. Had he stuck around and taken challenges from a big puncher like Carl Froch, his chin would have been smashed especially in the UK.

    Not saying Calzaghe had a glass jaw, but towards the end of his career where he was no longer in his comfort zone, his chin was getting shaky and BHop may be the cause of it.

    Why is there so much controversy with Calzaghe? He retired undefeated, with 0 bull**** decisions, and he is the best SMW as of now.


    ****ing deal with it. He's not coming back. Maybe Ward will surpass him someday, I don't know. I don't care.
