    to secure an ATG legacy.

    Beating Roy and Kelly will do it for me.

    Beating a shot former great and a MW?

    Naa...they are good wins, but don't really add all that much more to his legacy. They're just superficial wins. But decent if they happen.

    Beating Dawson & Glenn Johnson would do more then those two wins.

    If he needs to beat Roy and Kelly, he hasn't got a prayer. Pavlik KO10 Calzaghe, and I've laid out my analysis a dozen times.

    Not if his heart isn't in it any more. And I don't think it is.

    No, he doesn't.

    He has already secured his legacy. Beating an ageing former great and a middleweight will not compare or add anything of major significance to his standing.

    Pavlik is very good but people are hyping him up way too much. If Calzaghe wants to chose Jones as an opponent for his swan song and then call it a day then so be it.

    I had hopes that Calzaghe would fight 2 tough opponents abroad before retiring. So far he's managed one half (1/2) in BHOP. So I guess RJJ and Pavlik abroad is no bad proposition.

    Pavlik is not better than Kessler. Pavlik will not defeat Calzaghe.

    While we are at it why not rematch Kessler

    You have to respect the man has one more fight in him.
