    as a boxing fan do you want to see joe back in the ring?:think


    personally im a huge calzaghe fan but i dont want to see him fight again,the reasons being:

    .hes retired undefeated,2 weight world champ,perfect stats-on paper.

    .if he beats froch,all hes done in the critics eyes is beat a gobshite with no skill or defence

    .if he beats dawson,hes beat a guy who's spent the past 18 months fighting old men

    .hopkins-been there,done that.


    why risk a loss,when winning wont bring much credit.

    Nah, he's proven his status and should enjoy a well earned retirement.

    Nah, he's had his time. He'll regret an awful amount of stuff about it, imo, but he did have quite a decent career. Coming back now dosen't really serve any purpose.

    I would still like to see him fight Dawson and a move to cruiserweight to face Adamak.

    That pretty much sums up his entire career. Let the fraud stay retired and fade into Ottke-like status.

    nah, as has been said he has nothing to prove. no fights now would enhance his legacy at all.

    Wouldn't mind seeing him come out of retirement for one more fight and shutting froch up

    Actually let him come back and duck Kelly Pavlik again. That would be funny (again).

    As a boxing fan, I would like to see him fight again. As a realist, I think he should retire. He went out as an undefeated champ w/ his health intact. I'm pretty sure he's managed his money very well. Going out on top is the way to do it in my opinion.

    Not really, he threw lots of punches but I found him quite ugly to watch.
