Who would you like Joe Calzaghe to fight next?

Taylor hasn't beaten anybody decent without the help of HBO-paid judges.

Completely ****ing meaningless - he might as well give Manfredo a rematch.

Fighting Taylor would make him look exceptionally stupid, bearing mind Taylor ran like a ***** from Froch.

 

A win over Jermain Taylor at 170 means more than a win over Carl Froch at 170...

 

I believe he will retire but if he were to fight anyone I hope it would be Froch so he can shut the big mouth up good and proper!

 

He beat Hopkins twice fairly.

WW probably beat him, but it was a close fight. And it was Winky that refused the rematch.

Taylor is a good fighter, and it would be a decent name to add to Joe's record...but I do agree that Dawson or even Froch would be preferable...for various reasons.

Just read in the general that the rematch between Dawson and Tarver is on for March....meaning Joe would have to meet Chad in like June or something....

Even less likely to happen now IMO, despite HBO getting Dawson on a two fight deal....

 

I felt Hopkins had him twice, but fair enough - both fights were close.

Wright beat him without question - but in typical form demanded too much money and walked away from the rematch.

 

Yep, I love Winky but he really is a bit like JMM that way: he think's he's a bigger star than he is when the truth is, he's a hugely dangerous proposition for anyone and not a particularly lucrative one in comparison to others!

 

Hopkins, then Dawson, then retire

 

the winner of tarver vs dawson!

 

That has to be favourite now.

'Retire' in January then fight the winner in July.

 

Dawson

 

I've always rated Dawson.

I saw him on the Joe v Lacy undercard. However if Joe has anything left(and he does) he schools the heir to the throne.

But I hope Joe does whats best for himself if he wants to fight fair play. If not I hope he enjoys his retirement.

 

He should retire, his record of never losing obviously means a lot to him. Doesn't matter who he beats someone will always come along and be dubbed the next big thing. He should either state he's going for Marciano's record or just quit.

To be honest I'm bored with him threatening to quit after every fight.

 

Dawson... just because it is a real competitive live fight... he's good but not that good - boxing is struggling.

The fact is that he would probably one of, if not, Joe's most live opponents ever! He's a greater challenge then Kessler imo, and Hopkins was recently defeated twice and 43 years old when Calzaghe took him on. Joe was a VERY clear favourite to beat Hopkins going into that fight - he had a real fright in the end.

Think about it, it would possibly be Joe's riskiest ever challenge, and yet we see all these posts saying Dawson is "not proven" or "not worthy of a fight".

If he retires fair enough, but if he fights again it has to be Dawson - anything else is a cop out, imo - Especially after him taking the joke of a "pension fight" against Jones.

Having said that, if he did fight again, I'd honestly be surprised if he took on Dawson...
