    "He came into my dressing room before the Roy Jones fight crying his heart out because he saw me get knocked down against Bernard Hopkins a couple of months earlier.

    "He had also spent the Jones build-up watching footage of Jones' glory years, when he was at his peak, on You Tube.

    "Connor was sobbing 'dad, he is amazing' and I tried to reassure him 'don't worry son,

    You don't think Calzaghe knew he didn't have it any more?

    He'd been decked by Hopkins, he'd been stung by Kessler (failing in a stand-up fight in the early going), and he was looking ragged against Bika. He just wanted a good, easy money-making fight. And then to retire.

    You might not like it, I might not like it, but that's how it is.
