    I agree :good

    Hopkins rematch, Dawson, glen Johnson then Froch or Kessler.

    I think Hopkins would totally **** up the plan though. :deal

    but no one has retired without a blemish.

    ricardo lopez drew.

    chavez surpassed it but lost.

    the whole point is getting to 50-0 and retiring. :yep

    that would be a superb achievement. :thumbsup

    Depends on who he would fight to get there though. 1 decent opponent and 4 more tomato cans would not be the achievement it could be. 4 strong opponents and it would be a magnificent achievement.

    I think he has the ability to do it, but I dont think he has the drive for another 4. 4 fights for Calzaghe could be 2 to 3 years, he'd be pushing fourty and for a fighter who relies on speed and stamina more than anything else, that is ****in old! Heavyweight can go onto theit late 30s because they rely on moslty strength and power, the two last things to go, historically guys who rely on speed pass their peak sooner.

    The competition he faced would have to be decent aswel, he wouldnt get away with fighting average comp.

    The oponents I think are fair for him are Dawson, Johnson, Abraham, Taylor, Pavlik, Erdei, Froch...all of these would be very exceptable.

    Ive got a feeling that he'll see what HBO offer him for one more fight against an American and if he thinks its worth it, he'll carry on, dont be surprised if they offer more money for Jermain Taylor instead of Chad Dawson though...
