Thing is, Calzaghe is saying he's got 2 maybe three more fights in him and that he has no interest fighting as he approaches 40. He's 35 right now. Lampley said a couple times last night, "2 maybe 3 more fights is what hes saying".
IMO, he will fight Hopkins here in America in the spring. They'll be able to charge $49.99 for it and sell enough PPVs for these guys both to make a mint. Calzaghe has been leery to fight in the US because he can draw 50-60k a fight across the pond. I think he can now do it here with a name like Hopkins.
After Calzaghe takes apart Hopkins, I think you're right Spoon ... at that point he'll be ready for Pavlik after he beats Taylor again.
What a fight that would be. Good god.
