    Wron, wrong, wrong.

    Frank Warren was giving Joe the chance to gamble and progess from merely an ATG to a super-legend like the Durans, Alis, Sugar Rays.

    Yes Joe Calzaghe is probably the best boxer of all times, but history won't remember that.

    So, you're angry Calzaghe's split with Warren? Why? Did Warren want him to fight Pavlik?

    This would be a non issue except for what he wrote in his autobiography about Jones and followed up in that web interview that was posted.

    And he was 43.

    One of the judges stated he lost the fight.

    Calzaghe was suposed to be in his near prime, coming off the back of his career defining fight.

    What exactly is the highest level? He fought Kessler who is clearly world class, and it gets discredited by some bull**** like 'Kessler never fought anyone'. As well as being wrong, I have to ask who are all these guys that are already at the 'highest level', more so than Kessler?

    Then he fights Hopkins, supposedly proven, and thats discredited because he's old
    WHO are these world class opponents? :?

    Kessler Hopkins are two very good wins
    But I would like a Dawson vs Calzaghe beside a Calzaghe vs Pavlik
    If Calzaghe beat a Dawson or a Pavlik ..he is gonna get ALL my respect..
    Dawson is a tough challenge at his age

    Joes career is increasingly resting on what Kessler does. He only has himself to blame.

    Why are these at the 'highest level' more than Hopkins or Kessler though? That is my question, because this guy is talking like Calzaghe never beat a world class opponent

    They are top fighters, but I don't see they prove anything for Joe. They just make his resume stronger.

    I think I speak for alot of people when I say that Id love to see him fight Pavlik - would be an exciting fight but I can understand him taking the jones route. ****, if I was in his shoes id do the same!
