    Don't think there are fighters around his weight class that can command that. Who knows what will happen if Froch beats Bute, Pavlik and Kessler?!?!?!?

    10 mil is a bit much for Joe.

    I think he would take less than 10 million if the fight was right. If 6 or 7 million was waved in front of him i dont think he would say no. The fight would need to be in the next year and a half against a big draw so this wont be happening.

    Calzaghe will have earned his place in the HOF and he's earned steady paydays and a few cash outs near the end.

    But he won't get that much surely, very very doubtful as he didn't become a big name until the end, and his performances were somewhat careless and ugly.

    Joe is NOT a superstar. Not charismatic enough, not hard hitting enough (no power), too low a profile. If he wanted to be a draw, he should have spent the first 85% of his title reign being more ambitious in terms of comp and PR.

    Why would anyone want him back bad enough to cough all that money up, during a recession? Joe took the money and ran, one of the guys who helped hurt boxing. This is a bad time for fighters who want to get wrapped in cotton wool and paid highly.

    Calzaghe never wanted to be a superstar or famous. Those are the kind of boxers who get this kind of money. Calzaghe was the one who chose to spurn the PR route over the course of his career and will reap what he sowed. He'll be lucky to be offered £5M nowadays with the UK TV stations either pulling out of boxing or going bust.

    Something tells me that Calzaghe is missing boxing a bit.

    Unless someone unify's the divisions (light heavy or super middle) or becomes a massive celebrity, Calzaghe aint coming out of retirement

    He would take £5 million to fight froch

    he is already making nosies to comeback

    the guy is bored

    he is doing dancing on stars for ****s sakes

    I think after a long needed rest - he will return

    right now he is enjoying "retirement"

    he is eating food

    and sipping fine wine

    spending time with "Connor" - that little gimp in the Wii adverts with him

    and is probaly enjoying some good blow jobs off his missus with her blow job lips

    but he is going to be well rested and "return" for one last - "quest"

    like Mayweather has

    Calzaghe's got a ego

    and still alot left in the tank

    most boxers only finally go once they get the message drilled into them

    but Calzaghe still got alot left to offer

    the only way I can see him not returning - is if he is to scared of tarnishing that "perfect" record.

    Joe Calzaghe is overrrated and a fraud who is nowhere near Hall of fame material
