By Dan Cimineradan: Ok, everyone has talked about Joe Calzaghe retiring after this fight, but possibly being coaxed into another, even his dad Enzo has hinted he might just mean a long holiday. But, what of Roy Jones? Let’s assume its Sunday morning and Calzaghe has beaten Jones on a point’s decision. Where does Jones go next?? does he retire? Or does he fight on?
Personally I feel retirement is the best option he could take. However, I do feel that if he chooses to fight on he will be motivated to win a decent percentage of however many more he takes mainly because he is a true fighter and even at this stage isn’t motivated by money alone as he surely has managed to amass some fortune during his highly decorated career. If he does decide to stick around, who would he fight? He has already point blank refused to fight Bernard Hopkins, indicating he is thinking of fighting again, just not with Hopkins. Who else could he fight? Well, as i said, we are assuming he’s lost the decision against Calzaghe here so he hasn’t been totally ruined especially as Joe would now be the highest profile unbeaten retired boxer since rocky Marciano.
