    Id love it if Joe had a '**** it' attitude and planned 4 fights next year- Which could take him to 50-0....

    March - G. Johnson

    July - C. Froch

    Sept - C. Dawson

    Dec - M. Kessler 2

    Other possible are Tarver, and Hopkins rematch

    Calzaghe beat;

    Jeff Lacy was hyped as being the next Tyson he won he got no credit.
    Kessler is a great fighter and he beat him and he got no credit.
    he beat Bhop he's to old so why would he fight him again.
    RRJ.. people said he was finished i can't remember.
    fromer world champions Ritche Woodall, robin Reid and Chris Eubank no one seems to remember.

    so Calzaghe should just cash in now he wont get any credit by americans because he is not promoted by golden boy or on HBO TV station enough.

    hopkins is a boring twat who cheated in that fight ,he does not deserve a rematch,
    and since when have dawson been better than kessler.never pal.
    so seeming joe has unfinished business with johnson who beat dawson imo then i think he deserves the last fight with joe and dawson should fight hopkins and let hopkins expose yet another fellow american fighter.

    Hi fella..........i disagree with you.

    Calzaghe best wins are what you listed.

    Anyone without bias would rate Eubank, Lacy, Kessler,Hopkins and Jones as great wins.

    BUT you cant just look at stats you need to really go through it all....Kessler is Calzaghe best win, as he was a prime, highly skilled operator who had two other belts in the division. Im sure Kessler will go onto greater achievements.

    Lacy at the time......was overatted but still a good fighter....i think the loss to calzaghe made him half the fighter after....i remeber watching him against Manfredo and i though he looked ****.....he would have beaten manfredo with ease at his best.

    Jones win was good BUT jones standing has diminshed as wasnt the same fighter of years gone by.

    Eubank and Hopkins are very good wins BUT still they are at points win both men are past there best......still they wernt shot so those wins are impressive.

    I think the reason Joe gets no credit......is becuase his record and who he has beaten makes him look better than he actually is. His style goes against want us hardcore call boxing as he does everything out of the rule book.

    46-0 and 2 time champ looks good on paper......but he held the least significant belt (wbo) for a long time.......fought a vast array of guys that were below average for title condenders.......and when he finally did meet tough comp in Lacy, and Kessler......then starts to pick and choose his fights more carefully......the Jones fight is a money one for both in reality.

    Calazghe ca shut most up if he went to fight Dawson, Froch (why not), Tarver, G. Johnson, rematch Hopkins (tough fight the first one) and why not rematch Kessler.........would be great for the fans.
