    i would have put money on it.
    i was so sure that there was no way in hell he would leave the game without having the last hurrah at the millenium stadium in front of his own people.
    i was thinking maybe he'd give b-hop a return there.

    looks like i can now say after this long that i was wrong.

    He's not old enough yet to consider a comeback completely out of the realm of possibility, but it does appear that he will not return at this moment.

    I don't think any will care even if he returns. His PPV with Jones did around $170k even with a 24/7, and that was promoted to be his last fight unless he loses.

    No reason to. He is old now and retired when past his prime.

    The great thing now is all wins come back to Calzaghe ie Calzaghe beat Kessler who beat Froch who beat Dirrell, and hey if Ward gets beat...

    you need to get your facts straight. 225,000 buys at $50 dollas a pop with a #### undercard. Thats $11.25 million dollars...... Hoplins-Pavlik done 190K buys not too shabby.



    Back to the thread. Calzaghe has lived his day in boxing he's earned his money and is enjoying his life and every day he becomes bigger. Hes come out of boxing unscathed and not talking or shaking like a mongaloid...

    well...the reason...i thought....would have been to finish up in front of his own fans in his own country, it would be the biggest and one of the most memorable nights for him...whoever he fought...
    anyway...i was wrong

    Do you feel threatened by Andre Ward?

    No. But I make the point because there are so many fools taken in by hype rather than facts.
    Calzaghes legacy is in stone and under no threat because he did it all. 21 defences WBO WBC WBA IBF Ring titles 46-0. No threat at all to that

    This is the second post that I've seen from you today that's criticizing Ward and calling him a hype job. If your not threatened by him then why do you feel the need to constantly bash the guy? I barely see any threads about people saying Ward is better than Calzaghe so there's not that much hype about him.

    hahaha you started a thread about whose going to be the next American hype job. You're right you didn't say it out right but you implied it when you made that thread. So let me ask you, do you think Andre Ward is a hype job? And its funny that you call me insecure when you're the one that has to make a thread that trashes two young talented fighters just to make your hero look good.
