    As the question says,or would you want a current young gun to shut up the doubters?

    I've been convinced for a long time, he doesn't need to do anything

    Obviously it would be preferable he fights Pavlik/Dawson to Roy Jones, but oh well...

    Beating young guns doesn't shut up the doubters, it just convinces the doubters that the young gun that they were sure would ko Calzaghe is actually an overrated hypejob that never had a chance.

    I'm not a doubter but come on. Calzaghe needs to show us all that he can win against a young prime fighter when the refs are "against" him, the audience is booing him etc. etc.. Pavlik at home is no bad deal.;)

    I think every person on this forum would be happy if they had Joe Calzaghe's resume.

    Don't bring up fights in England? Are you really that clueless?

    Joes resume will always be questioned, becasue he never fought the big names in there prime. Unless Lacy or Kessler go on to do great things, or Pavlik if he fights him.

    Yes! But both Kessler and Lacy were in his own backyard. It would be really nice to see Calzaghe close that gap in his resume. I would love to see if he can pull it off away from home. If the BHOP was any indication he should be able to do it.

    can i ask why does he have to do this,it's very very rare and american fighter has ever had to ... joe calzaghe fought in england against robin reid and was definatly not the favorite in that fight,the crowd was very anti joe c.
