    Calzaghe will only fight once more. He'll probally have to go back down to smiddle for pavlik so I would think it'd be RJJ at L-heavy. He has talked about fighting Pavlik though and stable mate Lockett is fighting him next. Perhaps there using him to test the water?

    If he fights at all, which he shouldn't. it should be RJJ. that is where the money would be, and he could maybe win? Pavlik or Taylor would be a KO loss for him.

    he's said he'll only fight once more but i don't believe it, he can make serious $$$ and do a lot for his legacy with another 3 fights.

    If he can't get Pavlik he should retire. No need to outwork but look ordinary against a man in his forties again.

    Unfortunately, there is no silencing his critics, so it's pointless to cater his fighting towards them. Not many people at all are giving him credit for beating Hopkins at his own fight, in his own back yard, with Hopkins' own promotion running the show as it is.

    Hopkins is the first old fighter he's had a big fight against in 10 years (if one considers Eubank old), yet you've already got people bitching that Joe's making his mark fighting old fighters. Joe's been fighting younger fighters for years.

    I'd love to see him fight Jones, Pavlik, then retire. I don't care about the order of it. At least one, if not both, should happen in Wales. Why? Because it'd be a bigger event there. The Pavlik fight may sell out Atlantic City, but I really want to see the biggest event possible for the atmosphere of it.

    If you knew anything about Erdei you'd realize how ridiculous it is for you to even mention his name as a possible opponent for Calzaghe. Both Erdei and his promoter have no ambitions outside of fighting C-level fighters in Germany and I'm pretty sure that even if this weren't the case Joe would have no desire to fight him.

    Calzaghe has said he's having one more fight.

    It's either Pavlik or Jones.

    Sad but true. He is still the lineal champ though and that has to count for something.

    BBC Wales reporter said tonight that the Roy Jones Jr fight is a 2 fight deal.
    1st fight in Wales in November with a immediate rematch at Madison Square Garden in the spring of 2009.

    Seems logical to me. And coming from an American; The atmosphere in Britain is head and shoulders above the atmosphere in the USA.

    He could have made it count but he chose not to. He's actually a pretty good fighter.

    Can someone explain how Erdi is considered as the linear champ at 175?
