    Boxers make a mistake of pushing it too far and end up with 4-5 loses on their records. That happens to 99.9% of boxers. Fans want Calzaghe to retire undefeated. Sure he can fight the young lions now like Dawson but it doesnt make sense to him financially, plus Dawson is not established like that just yet. If he loses he will be tempted to come back with revenge on his mind and might end up with 3-4 loses at the end. Its so much better to retire now after beating Hopkins and Jones, LEGENDS.

    No not at all. In fact I said the opposite in the classic forum just last week, about idiots wanting their favourites (not Calzaghe by the way) to go on and on and ****ing on until they get brain damage. :huh




    ps. Chad Dawson. :lol: :lol: :lol:

    This argument really doesnt mean anything. China doesnt have any top boxers I know about nor does India. Whereas as little puerto rico has a lot of top fighters and Mexico clearly has more top fighters than the Uk even with only a marginally higher population.

    Dawson should be fighting Diaconu before crying to fight Joe.

    There is alot of Brits that know there **** on this forum. :good Btw, i've only started 2 threads i think. :huh

    But it would be me as a Mayweather fan saying "Floyd should retire, he's done enough" when I know Floyd is still a great fighter and could still compete at a high level. Why would i want him to retire?

    I don't think the Brits have much to worry about. Lennox Lewis, was a great champion Clazaghe is a great champion now. It has been quite a while since Lewis was the man to beat in the heavyweight division. Odds are they got someone in the pipe right now in some division getting ready to dominate.

    Hmmm

    Average at best, how can you say they're any good whilst they're fighting tomato cans?

    Fair enough i'll take that back. As for Calzaghe retiring, i havent made up my mind if i think he should or not, I dont want him to go on too long coz his style doesnt age well and even in victory there were signs tonight he's declining, but my gut feeling is he'll carry on, hopefully against Dawson. We'll see.


    BTW, Cloud is the REAL future of the LHW's:good

    your a dreamer,a massive dawson fan i will give your respect for that,but you are definatly living in a dream world if you think dawson can beat calzaghe or bhop.
    even kessler would batter him,so stop trying to speak like a gangster and grow the **** up.speaking like it is bad enough but typing like it is very sad.
