    Will JC fight again after RJ, win, lose or draw. Or is he done after this fight?

    He's done, no more 40 plus year olds to fight left.

    I hope it's the last for both of them. Great careers but enough is enough. Jones is a shadow of his former self and Calzaghe is well on the slide.

    The only way he can stay in the game, and have any credibility, would be to take on young, hungry, elite fighters. That is not something Calzaghe is willing to do. If Roy was 25% of what he used to be, this fight would not be happening.

    If he loses no. If he wins yes......the chances of Joe getting beat by Roy are greater than many think on here

    I would'nt be surprised if this fight is both Joe and Roy last fight in their careers unless the fight ends up in some controvertial circumstance.

    You're much given to hyperbole, Boo.

    If Roy was only 25 % of what he was, I could take him.

    Hell, you might even be able to as well.

    As it is, both are past best, Roy more so than Joe.


    Most of you thought Joe was in for am ass-whippin' when he fought Lacy.

    And Kessler was a hungry, young undefeated WBA/WBC champ, who many felt was too much for the 35 year old Joe.

    But he prevailed. He has nothing to prove, and he's just picking up some $$$ that didn't come his way earlier.



    That said, IMO, he will fight again after Roy.

    The likely opponents: Dawson or Pavlik (assuming they make it past their next fights).

    guaranteed if he wins, he retires, the sham undefeated record is what's important to him now

    Was Lacy and Kessler not the right sort of Prime for you? ****ing muggy Pavlik nuthugger. The guy cant even lace Calzaghes boots.
